Classic EDI invoice
Using our EDI platform, you can easily send invoices to your customers or receive invoices from your suppliers. The same applies as with all other message types: you send us your ERP output format and we translate it into the format of the invoice recipient or we translate the format of the invoice issuer into your ERP input format.
The Growth Opportunities Act and electronic invoicing 2025
With the adoption of the Growth Opportunities Act in March 2024, a major change is coming to all companies in the B2B sector: electronic invoicing will become mandatory. We have summarized the most important information for you:
Relevant changes
- e-invoices are issued or received in structured electronic formats that comply with the European standard (EN 16931 or Directive 2014/55/EU) (e.g. CII, UBL, PEPPOL, etc.)
- the classic paper or simple PDF invoice will be considered other invoices from January 1, 2025
- the use of proven EDI formats (such as EDIFACT, iDOC, XML, etc.) for the e-invoice can also be agreed bilaterally between the invoice issuer and the invoice recipient as permissible
- the introduction of the e-invoice in Germany is therefore considered preparation for the implementation of the EU’s ViDA initiative (VAT in the Digital Age), i.e. the switch from the previous summary VAT reports to a transactional and cross-border reporting system
What does this mean for your company?
- various implementation deadlines for e-invoicing have been defined between 2025 and 2027 and transitional arrangements are planned for some areas
- you are affected if you are based in Germany, have an annual turnover of more than €800,000 and send an invoice to a service recipient in Germany: from January 1, 2027 at the latest, you may only send e-invoices!
- you are affected if you are based in Germany and receive an e-invoice from a company based in Germany: an e-invoice must be accepted from January 1, 2025!
Our solutions
Incoming invoices
If you would like to receive incoming invoices from your suppliers, we will set up a separate “channel” for each incoming format. All invoices are sent centrally to our EDI platform via the channels and can be translated from there into your ERP incoming format. It therefore does not matter to you which format your supplier uses, we do the work for you.
Outgoing invoices
If you want to send invoices to your customers, we set up “channels” for all possible receipt formats. You send us your invoice in the ERP output format (as usual) and we translate it into the customer’s invoice format. Through the channels, each customer receives exactly the format that is agreed with them. You can then reuse the channels for all new customers.
