E-invoicing
Ready for mandatory e-invoicing in Germany

- Routing ID (Leitweg-ID) for public-sector clients
- Send the PDF and the e-invoice file straight by e-mail
- Issued invoices are locked and numbered without gaps
E-invoicing timeline in Germany

- 2027Sending becomes mandatory above €800,000 prior-year turnover.
- 2028Sending becomes mandatory for all domestic business-to-business invoices.
