Contact usElectronic invoicing, also known as e-invoicing, optimizes invoice management and facilitates the integration of invoices and compliance documents.
By digitally processing invoice data and matching it with contracts, orders, service sheets, and goods receipts, the risk of errors and exceptions is minimized. Since digital information is more easily accessible across systems than paper-based documents, electronic invoicing offers numerous advantages:
The Growth Opportunities Act, introduced by the Federal Government in March 2024, aims to advance the digitalization of the economy. An important component of this law is the Promotion electronic invoicing. SAP users are encouraged to digitize paper-based processes and use standardized e-invoice SAP formats such as ZUGFeRD.
ZUGFeRD and XRechnung are the two central formats for electronic invoices in Germany — and they are both based on the European standard EN 16931.
A purely XML-based format,.
A hybrid approach: a visually readable PDF invoice with an embedded XML file containing all structured invoice data. This makes ZUGFeRD invoices both human-readable and machine-readable—an advantage for companies with traditional invoicing processes.
For many companies, this means: ZUGFeRD is particularly convenient for B2B direct shipping, XRechnung is the secure format for authorities and public institutions.
An incorrect or invalid e-invoice can have serious consequences. According to the BMF letter of October 15, 2025, three main types of errors are distinguished:
an invalid XML structure results in the Invoice technically not recognized as a compliant e-invoice, resulting in rejection and process failure.
If, for example, a valid VAT ID number is missing or amounts do not match, there is a risk of the invoice not being recognized — and thus the loss of the input tax deduction.
Automated processes are being sabotaged, leading to increased workload through manual checks, inquiries, and corrections.
Those who cannot demonstrate correct validation run the risk of significant exposure during operational audits or regular audits.
Before you implement an SAP e-invoicing solution, it’s worth taking a look at the basics. Three tools, in just a few minutes, with no registration required and no data transfer.
Regardless of which SAP system you use, we offer you an uncomplicated and, compared to alternative solutions, extremely cost-effective option for the entire incoming and outgoing invoice process. Our services integrate smoothly into existing SAP landscapes, reduce implementation costs and ensure that your e-invoices are always processed in a standard-compliant, validated and automated manner.
CBCS (Cloud Billing Conversion Service) is a cloud-based e-invoicing SAP solution for outgoing invoicing. CBCS automatically generates legally compliant e-invoices, for example in XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format, from a classic PDF + metadata.
Generate invoices that comply with legal requirements — without manual XML coding or complex ERP customizations.
Companies that need to send invoices automatically and want to ensure compliance.
CICS is an inbound conversion service that analyzes, reads, and transmits incoming invoices into a structured, machine-readable format.
Validate the receipt of e-invoices and ensure they comply with legal requirements (e.g., according to EN 16931) — particularly relevant since the new audit obligations of the BMF.
Structured XML invoice that seamlessly flows into the internal accounting/ERP/financial system.
Our e-invoicing SAP services CICS and CBCS are suitable for all companies with SAP systems that process a medium to high volume of invoices, regardless of whether you use SAP ERP (ECC, for CBCS from Release 6.0 EHP7), SAP S/4HANA, on-premise, RISE with SAP, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, or hybrid landscapes.
Especially in complex SAP environments, the two services offer a decisive advantage: they relieve the system of complex conversion, checking, and formatting processes and ensure fast, automated, and standard-compliant processing for incoming and outgoing data. This makes CICS and CBCS ideal for companies that
Many of our customers operate not only nationally but also have national companies, subsidiaries, or suppliers in Europe and internationally. CICS and CBCS have been further developed to cover the requirements of additional countries beyond XRechnung and ZUGFeRD — without you having to set up a separate technical connection for each country.
