Cost savings<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Benefit from considerable cost savings. On the one hand, printing and paper costs are significantly reduced, as less paper, printer ink and printing processes are required. Secondly, shipping costs are eliminated as there are no postage costs for sending invoices by post. In addition, electronic archiving is cheaper and takes up less space than the physical storage of invoices. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

XInvoice<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

XRechnung is a purely XML-based format that does not contain a PDF component, is fully machine-readable and has been optimized for electronic processing. It meets the requirements of the European standard EN 16931 and is therefore recognized and standardized throughout the EU, which makes it particularly suitable for cross-border invoicing within the EU. <\/p>\n

In Germany, XRechnung is the legally prescribed format for electronic invoicing to public clients, as this is intended to increase interoperability and efficiency in public procurement. In the B2G sector (business-to-government), the use of XRechnung is therefore a prerequisite. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n

\r\n

ZUGFeRD<\/h3>\n

ZUGFeRD is a hybrid format that combines both machine-readable XML data and a human-readable PDF file, allowing invoices to be processed electronically as well as read and checked traditionally.<\/p>\n

Due to the PDF component, ZUGFeRD is particularly useful for companies that want to continue their existing processes with paper or PDF invoices while gradually switching to electronic processes. It is well suited for use in small and medium-sized companies as it is relatively easy to implement and does not require extensive technical adjustments. <\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n\n
