Learn how to open an FA(3) XML file, find invoice data, the KSeF number, tax IDs, line items and amounts, and when to use a validator or XML-to-PDF converter.

KSeF does not replace JPK_VAT. Learn the differences between FA(3), JPK_V7M, JPK_V7K and JPK_FA, and the rules for KSeF numbers, corrections and offline modes.
