Starting January 1, 2025, the e-invoicing requirement for businesses will come into force in Germany. This means that companies must issue and receive electronic invoices in a standardized format for business transactions with other companies (B2B transactions). For many, this presents a challenge – but it also offers enormous opportunities.
Why e-invoicing is a win-win for your business
The transition to electronic invoicing goes far beyond simply complying with legal requirements. Companies that act early can reap numerous benefits by digitizing their invoicing processes:
- Time savings: Automated workflows reduce manual steps such as typing invoice data.
- Cost savings: Less paper, printing and shipping costs, and lower administrative costs.
- Error reduction: Automated review processes minimize errors in data capture.
- Sustainability: Avoiding paper and mail protects the environment.
How you can prepare
To ensure a smooth transition to e-invoicing, several steps are necessary:
- Create the technical requirements: Check whether your existing accounting and ERP systems support e-invoices in XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format.
- Inform suppliers: Encourage your suppliers to send you e-invoices in the future to simplify processing.
- Use receipt collection portals: Platforms such as Get My Invoices or Invoice Fetcher help you collect invoices centrally and integrate them seamlessly into your accounting system.
- Train employees: Make sure your employees are familiar with the new processes.
