How it works
Because all the data is already in the system.
You never type anything twice.
- 1
The customer is already there
Address, contact person and payment behaviour are held in the Contacts module.
- 2
Products are maintained
Net/gross prices, tax rates and invoice texts come from the product catalogue.
- 3
Invoice in one click
The invoice is created in the Finance module – as PDF or as an e-invoice (ZUGFeRD, XRechnung).
- 4
Nothing gets lost
Recurring contracts are invoiced automatically, and dunning reminds you of anything outstanding.
Questions about e-invoicing
What are ZUGFeRD and XRechnung?
ZUGFeRD is a readable PDF with embedded XML: you see the invoice as usual, and the recipient can read in the data automatically. XRechnung is a pure, machine-readable XML format. Both are based on the European standard EN 16931. XRechnung is the standard for e-invoices to public administration in Germany and meets the requirements for e-invoices in B2B transactions.
Is a PDF invoice sent by email an e-invoice?
No. A plain PDF file does not count as an e-invoice under the new rules, because it cannot be processed automatically in a structured way.
Can I still create PDF invoices in the business manager?
Yes. Outgoing invoices in your own corporate design are still possible as PDF – and in addition, the Finance module supports e-invoices with ZUGFeRD and XRechnung.
