  • Line items (description, quantity, unit price, VAT rate)
  • Consistent VAT amounts and totals
  • Payment terms and bank account details

FAQ

Create XRechnung from PDF

Yes. This converter turns your uploaded PDF into XRechnung XML, with validation and data correction before download.

Do I need UBL or CII and what does my recipient accept?

That depends on recipient or portal requirements. This converter currently generates CII-based XRechnung XML by default. Confirm recipient expectations before sending.

Do I need a buyer reference/routing ID and where does it belong?

For many public-sector recipients a buyer reference is mandatory. It must be present in the structured invoice data so the receiving system can route the invoice correctly.

Can I also generate ZUGFeRD if my customer wants a readable PDF?

Yes. The same workflow can additionally produce a ZUGFeRD PDF with embedded XML. This gives you both human readability and machine-readable data.

Why is my XRechnung rejected? (most common reasons)

Typical causes are missing mandatory fields, inconsistent VAT/totals, invalid codes, or missing references. Validation highlights these issues in priority order.

Do I need to understand XML to work with XRechnung?

No. You mainly need to verify business content like line items, VAT rates, totals, and references. The converter handles the technical structure.

Which mandatory fields are most often missing?

Frequent gaps are buyer references, service periods, complete line-item data, and clear payment terms. These omissions often cause validation errors.

How do I validate XRechnung after download?

Use the e-invoice validator and upload the XML again. This lets you verify that the file is still valid and check any remaining warnings.

Are files stored?

Uploaded files and generated results are stored only as long as required for processing and delivery. Details are defined in the privacy policy.
