Create EPC-QR-Code for an invoice in Writer

Very rarely I see EPC-QR-Codes on invoices here in Germany and I wonder why. The standard is quite easy: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPC-QR-Code
As a kind of proof-of concept I made a Writer-document with a macro to create this code from the document data. https://github.com/cscode2000/QR_OO
I tried to make it as small and short as possible. Do you have suggestions to make it better? No menus, additional questions or similar. Just simple and stupid. I use Writer because I import the invoice-text from a plain text file. But maybe nevertheless it's interesting for someone.

I really tried to upload it on this site. But first create another login-account, then, after each upload "do this" next "missing that" and so on... it's frustrating, that's why I gave up and simply uploaded it to GitHub. It's no surprise, that there are only so few templates here...

It's a late reply but I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your project. The EPC-QR-Code is a neat solution for simplifying SEPA transfers. Also, your macro in the Writer document is impressive. It generates a QR-Code for an invoice, which can be read by common payment software. Hope you are doing alright!
