In a collaborative effort with FeRD, esteemed partners from both the private and administrative sectors have come together to introduce a revolutionary data format known as ZUGFeRD. This innovative approach seamlessly integrates structured data within a PDF, drawing its foundation from a core invoice model. This ensures a streamlined and straightforward implementation process.
The essence of ZUGFeRD lies in its universality. It is designed so that any entity can exchange electronic invoices without the need for prior consultations or agreements.
It’s imperative to note that invoice settlement stands as a pivotal function within this network. As such, every node within our system is equipped to autonomously generate ZUGFeRD-compliant invoices.
Further enhancing its capabilities, our integrated eForms Management allows for the creation of such invoices via eForm. Witness its functionality in action HERE: https://forms.codeb.io/pdfforms.aspx?fid=zugferd
On a broader spectrum, ZUGFeRD 2.0 (DE), along with Fatura PA (IT), Facture X (FR), and XRechnung, are distinguished national invoice formats. While each has its unique nuances, they all align with the European standard EN16931. This standard, in turn, leverages the XML standards UBL and UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice (CII) to facilitate the generation of structured invoices.
