Innovative – Invoice exchange with ZUGFeRD
ZUGFeRD is basically suitable for any B2B company that sends and receives invoices, regardless of the shipping quantity. In order to fully exploit the potential of the invoice format, it is recommended to connect SAP with ZUGFeRD.
In this way, documents can be processed, stored and integrated into the ERP workflow without human help. In addition, the format is also internationally compatible and suitable for cross-border shipping, because: it is based on the international standards UN-CEFACT and Cross Industry Invoice. In addition, it is subject to standard part 3 of the PDF/A ISO standard.
Compared to other formats such as EDI, ZUGFeRD has a major advantage: no contractual agreements between the two parties are necessary for use. Of course, the data in the PDF file must match the data of the XML file to ensure lawful processing.
The use is completely free. However, an extension is necessaryto process ZUGFeRD invoices with SAP, as the program is not able to do this by default.
For this reason, with the add-ons of our digitization platform MailCenter, we offer suitable plugins that make your SAP invoice ZUGFeRD-capable. Take advantage of this opportunity and save time, material and costs.
There are currently two important formats for e-invoices, the X-invoice and ZUGFeRD. Both formats must comply with the rules of the EU standards as well as the supplementary national rules of the X-Invoice standard. This applies especially to the ZUGFeRD format. In order to check the correctness of the respective formats, there are corresponding tools for validation on our website and also from KoSIT. If the invoices transferred do not comply with the defined business rules, they are generally not accepted by the contracting authorities.
If ZUGFeRD invoices are issued, the embedded XML attachment is used for automated further processing at the recipient. This annex is the legally relevant part of the invoice. Images and attachment files are not used. The PDF file thus only provides a carrier format.
The MailCenter Add-On E-Invoice is our user-friendly solution for all companies that want to integrate ZUGFeRD invoices into SAP. With this platform, you also secure the basis for useful tools that simplify your everyday business life enormously.
Make SAP compatible with the ZUGFeRD format. Integrate outgoing invoices into your ERP workflow. While the documents are processed automatically, you can take care of more important things.
