Receiving structured e-invoices is required since 2025; issuing becomes mandatory from 2027. A plain PDF no longer counts. We turn your invoicing into compliant EN 16931 - XRechnung and ZUGFeRD - with the controls a finance team expects.
Scope is measured on 2026 revenue - who is in is being decided now. Get it wrong and you risk losing the input-VAT deduction on invoices that are not compliant.
Invoice data pulled straight from your ERP or invoicing system, whatever it runs on.
Mapped to EN 16931 and generated as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, validated against the standard.
Outbound invoices delivered how each customer needs; inbound XML received, validated and queued for exceptions.
Every invoice stored GoBD-compliant, with a full audit trail of what was sent and received.
DATEV and the big vendors ship a converter for the standard case. We handle the rest - custom ERPs, homegrown invoicing, and three systems that don't talk to each other.
You are not switching one client - you are switching dozens, each on a different system, all before the deadline. One pipeline every client runs down the same way.
Since January 2025, every German business must be able to receive structured EN 16931 e-invoices - a plain PDF no longer counts. Issuing becomes mandatory from 1 January 2027 for companies above EUR 800,000 in prior-year turnover, and from 1 January 2028 for every business regardless of size.
EN 16931 is the underlying European standard; in Germany it is implemented as XRechnung (a pure XML format) or ZUGFeRD (a hybrid PDF with embedded XML). Both are structured formats a plain PDF does not satisfy.
You risk losing the input-VAT deduction on non-compliant invoices, and scope for the 2027 deadline is measured on 2026 revenue - meaning who is affected is being determined right now, not at the deadline itself.
We extract invoice data straight from your ERP or invoicing system, map and convert it to EN 16931 (XRechnung or ZUGFeRD) validated against the standard, route outbound invoices however each customer requires, receive and validate inbound XML, and archive everything GoBD-compliant with a full audit trail.
Tell us what you invoice with and we will tell you exactly what EN 16931 will take - and what it costs.
