§02 · E-invoicing focus

XRechnung & ZUGFeRD — without the cloud.

E-invoicing mandates affect everyone — but not every system is on the latest release. With our own SAP solution you produce EN 16931-compliant invoices straight from your existing system.

  • XRechnung (UBL & CII) and ZUGFeRD from SAP — per EN 16931
  • In the EN 16931 profile also a valid Factur-X document
  • Runs on SAP ECC 6.0 and S/4 systems
  • Routing ID, validation and visualisation built in
  • Hybrid PDF (ZUGFeRD) for human- and machine-readable documents
Why an own solution

Compliance, without tearing your SAP apart.

Many standard routes to e-invoicing require current releases or extra cloud services. We take the pragmatic path: a lean, proven SAP solution that fits into your existing form and output landscape — on-premise, with no data leaving for third-party platforms unless you want that.

  • No per-invoice fees and no cloud subscription — one-off licence, maintenance and support optional
  • No forced jump to the newest release
  • Combines seamlessly with your Adobe Forms / Smart Forms
  • Dispatch by e-mail, Peppol-ready or hand-off to archive
  • Guidance from analysis to go-live
Standards lineage

Every mandated format comes from the same standard: EN 16931 defines the European invoice data model — XRechnung (Germany), Factur-X (France) and Peppol BIS are derived from it. ZUGFeRD and Factur-X are in fact the same format, jointly published by FeRD (Germany) and FNFE-MPE (France): the same CII XML, embedded as factur-x.xml in a PDF/A-3. A ZUGFeRD document in the EN 16931 profile is therefore automatically a valid Factur-X document — one format, two countries, no second process.

§06 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you support XRechnung and ZUGFeRD on SAP ECC too?

Yes. With our own SAP solution we generate XRechnung and ZUGFeRD on SAP ECC and on S/4HANA — without forcing you onto the newest release.

Are there running costs per invoice?

No. Our solution runs inside your own SAP system — there is no per-invoice fee, no transaction volume and no cloud subscription for generating the e-invoice. The licence is a one-off; maintenance and support are optional. Third-party costs only arise if your scenario requires them — for example a Peppol access point or, in France, an approved platform.

Is a ZUGFeRD invoice automatically a Factur-X invoice?

Yes. ZUGFeRD and Factur-X are the same format — jointly published by FeRD (Germany) and FNFE-MPE (France) in mutually aligned versions. In the EN 16931 profile a ZUGFeRD document is a valid Factur-X document and vice versa: the same CII XML, embedded as factur-x.xml in a PDF/A-3. SAP therefore produces one document for both countries — no second format, no second process. In France the e-invoicing mandate starts on 1 September 2026 (receiving for all companies, issuing for large and mid-sized ones; small and micro companies from 1 September 2027); dispatch there runs through an approved platform — we supply the matching format from SAP.

Which standards and formats are supported?

The basis is the European standard EN 16931 (semantic invoice data model). Derived from it we support XRechnung (German CIUS, UBL and CII), ZUGFeRD / Factur-X (hybrid PDF/A-3 with embedded CII XML) and hand-off per Peppol BIS Billing.

Which SAP form technologies do you support?

Adobe Forms (SFP), SAP Smart Forms and SAPscript — from maintenance and bug-fixing through new development to migration and modernisation of existing forms.

Where can the SAP output be archived?

In Azure Blob Storage, SharePoint, AWS S3, the STACKIT cloud or local storage — connected via our CMIS / ArchiveLink connector. Dispatch by e-mail is also possible.

Can you send invoices directly from SAP by e-mail?

Yes. We integrate invoice and document dispatch by e-mail into your output management — including attachments as PDF, ZUGFeRD hybrid PDF or XRechnung XML.

Do you work project-based or as ongoing support?

Both. We take on individual form projects as well as the ongoing support of your form and output landscape. We are happy to prepare a tailored quote.
