Compliance Tools Hub is a self-service portal that centralizes all compliance tools in one place.
SCI (Sovos Canonical Invoice) is a standardized format designed to simplify global electronic invoicing and reporting. In the Compliance Tools Hub portal (https://compliance-tools-hub.sovos.com), you can explore SCI field mappings, validate and transform XML for your invoices, check country capabilities and response codes, get AI-powered answers, and stay aware of important announcements across over 37 countries.
Sovos employees and partners can all use this new portal to access SCI information quickly.
Available modules
Compliance Tools Hub includes the following modules:
- Fields Mapping
-
Browse and search SCI fields by country, document type, and version. Each field includes its definition, data type, local legal path, condition (mandatory or optional), and compliance context. You can filter results, customize visible columns, and export the data.
- Data Comparison
-
Compare SCI fields across different countries, document types, and versions side by side. Results are grouped into collapsible blocks so you can identify regional variations in conditions, data types, and local requirements.
- XML Tools
-
Transform, convert, and validate XML documents using country-specific XSLT stylesheets and XSD schemas. XML Tools includes four sub-modules:
-
XML Processor — Transform XML between SCI and legal formats and validate the output.
-
Conversion — Convert JSON or IDOC files to XML.
-
Validation — Validate any legal or SCI XML document against its XSD schema.
-
Samples — Download legal and SCI XML samples for any supported country and document type.
