PU 507 | 506 | 505 (Globe+) and 424 (Globe): Generating e-Invoice in ZUGFeRD format for DACH
Exact Globe+ has been supporting the import of the German e-Invoice in the PDF/ZUGFeRD and XRechnung format.
In this product update, Exact Globe+ will support the export of DACH e-Invoice in PDF/ZUGFeRD format for the German, Austrian, and Swiss debtors. This functionality is applicable for sales and credit notes.
For the Austrian and Swiss debtors, only one ZUGFeRD format will be available for generating the e-Invoice. There will be two e-Invoice formats for the German debtors.
If the e-Invoice format is already linked to the debtor, the e-Invoice will be generated based on the selected format. However, for new debtors whereby the e-Invoice format is not linked, the ZUGFeRD/PDF format will be generated, and the ZUGFeRD selection will be updated to the debtor maintenance during the final invoice processing.
The ZUGFeRD e-Invoice is compliant with the PDF/A-3 standard with the following specifications:
- MIME type – text or xml
- File name – factur-x.xml
- Description – Factur-X/ZUGFeRD-Rechnung
- Relationship – Alternative
The factur-x.xml file will contain a structured XML representation of the invoice data. The file will automatically be placed in the PDF during the final invoice processing as ZUGFeRD e-Invoice format, even if the e-Invoice checkbox is not selected in the invoice processing screen.
When the trial print is selected, only the PDF will be generated without the embedded XML.
The following is an example of the ZUGFeRD XML mapping:
Note: Only one file will be embedded for each invoice, and the ZUGFeRD XML file will be embedded.
