For trades, agencies and service providers

Your software can't do ZUGFeRD? You don't have to replace it.

E-Rechnungsfreund is a bridge instead of a system switch: create outgoing e-invoices here, check incoming e-invoices here and store them in readable form – alongside the tools you already use.

Invoice list with status, due date and open amount

Outgoing and incoming e-invoices in one place

An example

A painting business invoices the city administration

A painting business has renovated classrooms in a municipal school. The city requires an XRechnung with a Leitweg-ID – the routing ID that tells the public authority where the invoice belongs.

The office enters the Leitweg-ID, the items and the amounts, checks the invoice and downloads the XRechnung XML, ready to submit via the authority's invoice portal. The accounting software stays the same.

Questions and objections

What you might be wondering

Do we have to replace our accounting software?

No. You create or check the e-invoice here and download the PDF or XML file. Bookkeeping stays in the tools you already use.

What happens if an invoice contains errors?

Before you send it, the invoice is checked against the official KoSIT rules, with Mustang and the EN 16931 Schematron. The test report lists every finding with an understandable message, so you can correct it before your customer rejects the invoice.

Which formats are supported?

Creating: ZUGFeRD 2.4 (EN 16931) as PDF/A-3b and XRechnung 3.0.2 (CII) as XML. Importing: CII, UBL and ZUGFeRD PDF.
