Electronic invoices with XRechnung and ZUGFeRD: Efficient solutions with Nuclos

Overview of XRechnung and ZUGFeRD

XRechnung is an XML-based standard format for electronic invoices that was specially developed for exchange with public clients in Germany. It ensures compliance with the European standard EN 16931 and enables structured and automated processing of invoice data.

ZUGFeRD (Zentraler User Guide des Forums elektronische Rechnung Deutschland) combines a machine-readable XML data format with a human-readable PDF/A-3 file. This hybrid format facilitates the exchange of invoices between business partners, regardless of whether they use electronic or manual processes.
