  • Article

This article provides information on how to work with the German localization of the E-Document framework.

E-Documents framework setup

Read detailed information on how to set up the E-Documents framework here.

Set up local formats

Note

Currently, the E-Document framework for the German localization supports the XRechnung (UBL) and Peppol BIS 3 formats. The ZUGFeRD format isn't supported yet.

To set up the format for the E-Document service, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Tell Me feature icon, enter E-Document Services, and then select the related link. The E-Document Services page displays.
  2. On the General FastTab, select New. In the Document Format field, choose PEPPOL BIS 3.0 or XRechnung.
  3. Configure the fields as described in Set up e-documents.
  4. Close the page.

Using buying reference on the E-invoice

When you configure e-invoices in the sales process, make sure to display your buyer reference on the invoice. Follow these steps to set up how you use buyer references:

  1. Select the Tell Me feature icon, enter E-Document Services, and then select the related link. The E-Document Services page displays.
  2. On the Export FastTab, select the Buyer Reference Mandatory field to specify whether the buyer reference is mandatory for the document.
  3. Select where you use buyer references by choosing one of the options in the Buyer Reference field.
    1. If you choose the Your reference option, you're required to populate the Your reference field on the sales document.
    2. If you choose the Customer reference, the system uses the E-Invoice Routing No from the Customer card.
  4. Close the page.
