Install and get started – MailCenter Extension SAP XRechnung
The solution for suppliers of public buyers (and from 2025 also for B2B).
Create SAP XRechnung
Our MailCenter add-on enables companies to create, process and send XRechnungen directly in their SAP system – quickly, easily and in compliance with legal requirements. Existing SAP systems are not designed for the creation and processing of e-invoices by default. With our add-on, you can generate your invoices correctly, efficiently and in compliance with the law. All you have to do is add our extension to your SAP system and configure it briefly. Our solution integrates seamlessly with your existing SAP system, helping you meet new requirements and increase operational efficiency.
What is XRechnung?
The XRechnung is a standardized format based on the European standard EN 16931. It was developed to ensure the uniform and automated exchange of invoice information between companies and public administrations in the EU.
Why is XRechnung becoming increasingly important for companies?
With the increasing digitization of accounting and the legal obligation to accept electronic invoices in the public sector, XRechnung is becoming essential. It enables automated processing, reduces administrative effort, minimizes errors and lowers costs. In addition, the use of electronic invoicing contributes to sustainability by reducing paper consumption.
E-invoicing obligation from 2025
From 2025, the e-invoicing obligation in Germany will be extended to the entire B2B sector. All companies will then have to issue invoices electronically and in XRechnung format. This regulation promotes digital transformation, increases efficiency and transparency in accounting, and forces companies to modernize their processes.
Are you looking for a simple solution for sending electronic invoices in SAP ECC or S4/HANA? Then our MailCenter software is the right choice. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Starting situation
The XInvoice specifies a digital format for electronic invoicing. It was determined by the IT Planning Council for the Federal and State Governments.
In this way, Germany is creating a uniform format for electronic invoicing. This is in line with the requirements at European level under EU Directive 2014/55/EU. As an electronic invoice, only this format is accepted by all contracting authorities in the public sector.
Conventional invoicing by paper or simple PDF is no longer possible. Each country has its own peculiarities and formats.
E-RECHNUNG.GV.AT is the method of sending electronic invoices to the public administration. Companies in Austria.
From 2025, e-invoicing will be mandatory in Germany. XRehnung can also be used for this.
