class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who developed ZUGFeRD and why?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first version of ZUGFeRD was published in June 2014. It was developed by the <strong>Forum elektronische Rechnung Deutschland (FeRD)<\/strong> in cooperation with various associations, ministries and companies. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim was to create a uniform standard for e-invoices in Germany <strong>in accordance with EU Directive 2014\/55\/EU<\/strong>. This was intended to make the electronic exchange of invoices between companies and authorities <strong>more efficient<\/strong>. Previously, there were many different formats, which made smooth processing difficult.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The name ZUGFeRD is the abbreviation for <strong>&#8220;Zentraler User Guide des Forums elektronische Rechnung Deutschland&#8221;.<\/strong> It is no coincidence that the term is reminiscent of the word &#8220;draught horse&#8221;. The similar wording should make it clear that the new standard is intended to rapidly advance e-invoicing.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, ZUGFeRD 1.0 was not yet the version that is used today. After the <strong>EU standard EN 16931<\/strong> was published, the standard had to be adapted to the applicable European law. <strong>Version 2.0.1 was released in October 2019<\/strong>, which &#8211; just like the following versions &#8211; fulfills the legal requirements for a machine-readable e-invoice in a structured XML data set. Since then, the ZUGFeRD standard has <strong>continued to evolve<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6acadd1558c94&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6acadd1558c94\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"518\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.applus-erp.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/zugferd-vorteile-glossar-infografik-1024x518.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-103629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.applus-erp.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/zugferd-vorteile-glossar-infografik-1024x518.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.applus-erp.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/zugferd-vorteile-glossar-infografik-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/www.applus-erp.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/zugferd-vorteile-glossar-infografik-768x388.png 768w, https:\/\/www.applus-erp.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/zugferd-vorteile-glossar-infografik-1536x776.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.applus-erp.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/zugferd-vorteile-glossar-infografik.png 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does a ZUGFeRD invoice look like?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An e-invoice in hybrid ZUGFeRD format <strong>always consists of two parts<\/strong>: a PDF file and a structured XML file. It is important that both elements contain <strong>identical invoice information<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PDF is the view component of the standard. This means that users can <strong>open<\/strong> the file as usual <strong>with a PDF reader on their computer<\/strong> and view the invoice details. The XML data record is attached to the PDF. By clicking on the attachment, the code can also be displayed on the screen, but it is not decipherable for humans. But it doesn&#8217;t have to be, because <strong>the XML format is only used for machine processing<\/strong>.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>According to EN 16931, both components must meet certain standards:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The PDF must be a <strong>PDF\/A-3 file<\/strong> that enables legally compliant archiving without loss of information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>syntax UN\/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice (CII)<\/strong> must be used in the XML data record to ensure standardized data exchange.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you create and send a ZUGFeRD file?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies require suitable software solutions for the creation and automated processing of a ZUGFeRD file. These primarily include <strong>ERP and accounting systems<\/strong> that also guarantee an automatic check. In addition, numerous internet portals offer <strong>web-based tools for the creation and conversion<\/strong> of ZUGFeRD invoices.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The invoice data is entered manually <strong>in the input mask of the respective program<\/strong> as usual. The software automatically generates a ZUGFeRD file at the click of a mouse. <strong>With an ERP system<\/strong>, <strong>fully automated document creation<\/strong> based on order and job data is also possible.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The invoice can, but does not necessarily have to, be sent using special software. A <strong>simple email<\/strong> with the electronic invoice attached or transfer to a USB stick is also sufficient according to the law. <strong>The invoice recipient<\/strong> usually decides how the document is to be transmitted. Public clients usually require transmission via the Peppol network.   <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group summary-block-outline is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nomarginheadline\">Webinar on the e-invoicing obligation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New legal requirements, old systems and lots of questions: how can you successfully switch to e-invoicing? Our webinar recording gives you an overview of <strong>formats<\/strong>, <strong>obligations <\/strong>and <strong>solutions<\/strong>, including a look at upcoming developments relating to <strong>ViDA<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/app.livestorm.co\/asseco-solutions\/applus-e-invoicing-updates-und-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To the webinar recording<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What needs to be considered when archiving?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies must also <strong>store<\/strong> e-invoices in <strong>an audit-proof manner for ten years<\/strong> &#8211; in an electronic archiving system. This is stipulated by the principles for the proper management and storage of books, records and documents in electronic form and for data access (GoBD) <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that <strong>it is not enough<\/strong> to <strong>save<\/strong> the ZUGFeRD PDF <strong>on a hard disk or USB stick<\/strong>. Storing a printout is not enough either. Instead, a software solution is required to ensure that the archived e-invoice <strong>cannot be changed and is tamper-proof<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), for example, <strong>accounting software<\/strong> that offers GoBD-compliant archiving in the cloud is suitable. Larger companies that use an ERP system often rely on <strong>document management systems<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is the ZUGFeRD format suitable for?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prinzipiell eignet sich ZUGFeRD f\u00fcr den <a href=\"\/?page_id=35378\">elektronischen Rechnungsaustausch <\/a><strong>zwischen Unternehmen, Beh\u00f6rden und Verbrauchern<\/strong>. Seit Version 2.0.1 erf\u00fcllt der Standard die gesetzlichen Anforderungen an eine strukturierte elektronische Rechnung laut EN 16931 und Wachstumschancengesetz.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>However, the biggest advantage is for SMEs<\/strong> whose IT infrastructure does not allow fully automated document processing. For them, it is important that <strong>a PDF is available for visual viewing<\/strong> and manual checking both when creating and receiving an e-invoice. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u00d6ffentliche Auftraggeber<\/strong> wiederum bevorzugen anstelle von ZUGFeRD <strong>das Format <a href=\"\/?p=101767\">XRechnung<\/a><\/strong>, das im B2G-Bereich offiziell als Standardl\u00f6sung vorgeschrieben ist.

While small businesses may only want to transfer <strong>basic invoice data<\/strong>, larger companies or public administrations need detailed <strong>machine-readable data<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ZUGFeRD profiles therefore enable flexible adaptation to <strong>different user requirements and IT systems<\/strong>. As variants of the invoice format, they determine how precisely the invoice data is structured and ensure optimum compatibility. In short, they cover <strong>different levels of complexity and application scenarios<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, more and more ZUGFeRD profiles have been added. The current version 2.3.2 includes the <strong>following six profiles<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MINIMUM<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contains only basic data <strong>for simple invoice processing<\/strong>, including the most important information on the contractor and client as well as the total amount. The profile <strong>does not meet the requirements of EU standard EN 16931<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BASIC WL<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a posting aid, the profile contains all the data required to <strong>post the invoice<\/strong> at document level. However, according to the German VAT Act, it is <strong>not a valid invoice<\/strong> either.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BASIC<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adds further information such as item description and unit price and is <strong>recognized as a complete invoice<\/strong> in Germany.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EN 16931<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enables the generation of completely machine-readable data and fulfills all requirements for a <strong>legally compliant e-bill in accordance with EN 16931<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EXTENDED<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contains additional data for <strong>industry-specific requirements and complex business processes<\/strong>. For example, it supports billing across multiple deliveries and delivery locations.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XINVOICE<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meets the requirements of public authorities and enables <strong>the use of the ZUGFeRD format in the B2G area<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Profile<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Scope<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>GoBD\/EN-compliant<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Suitable for<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MINIMUM<\/td><td>*<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Simple requirements<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BASIC WL<\/td><td>**<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Booking help<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>BASIC<\/td><td>***<\/td><td>Yes (DE)<\/td><td>SMES<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>EN 16931<\/td><td>****<\/td><td>Yes (EU)<\/td><td>Legally compliant invoices<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>EXTENDED<\/td><td>*****<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Industries with special requirements<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>XINVOICE<\/td><td>*****<\/td><td>Yes (B2G)<\/td><td>Public clients<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The ZUGFeRD versions at a glance  <\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZUGFeRD 1.0<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Publication in June 2014<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PDF file with embedded XML &#8211; formats cannot be separated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only geared to the requirements in Germany<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited suitability for international use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZUGFeRD 2.0<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Release in March 2019, update to 2.0.1 in October 2019<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PDF file with attached XML file &#8211; formats separated from each other<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adaptation to the requirements of EU Directive 2014\/55\/EU and European standard EN 16931<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technically largely identical to the French Factur-X 1.0 standard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZUGFeRD 2.1<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Release in March 2020, update to 2.1.1 in July 2020<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technically completely identical to Factur-X 1.0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Addition of the XRECHNUNG profile  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZUGFeRD 2.2<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Publication in March 2022<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Addition of the EXTENDED profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved interoperability with Order-X &#8211; a standard format for electronic orders  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZUGFeRD 2.3<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Release in September 2022, update to 2.3.1 in August 2023 and to 2.3.2 in November 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved interoperability with the French B2B e-invoicing obligation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rounding inaccuracies in the EXTENDED profile are permitted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group summary-block-outline is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nomarginheadline\">Webinar on the e-invoicing obligation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New legal requirements, old systems and lots of questions: how can you successfully switch to e-invoicing?
