E-invoicing
E-invoicing for businesses in Germany
Germany is phasing in mandatory e-invoicing between businesses from 2025 to 2028. Bleno creates ZUGFeRD e-invoices and reads incoming XRechnung and ZUGFeRD invoices directly.
E-invoicing in Bleno is built for the German formats ZUGFeRD and XRechnung. Businesses in Austria currently receive a regular PDF invoice.
