E-Invoicing, compliant with efsta

Efsta EFR API solutions for B2B and B2G

Compliant electronic invoicing

The efsta e-invoicing module is aimed at companies that want to provide their business partners (B2B, B2G, B2C) with structured document data, including data transport and process monitoring. As a generic approach, it does not rely on a specific format or document type (e.g. ZUGFeRD) or a specific transport mechanism.

As part of this approach, efsta is implementing the changes step-by-step in accordance with country-specific regulations, starting with the publication of PEPPOL XRechnung Germany B2G in March 2023. In April 2024, compatibility with the SDI e-invoicing system in Italy was published.

efsta offers you the solution!

Since the e-invoicing functionality is part of systems with different architectures, it is implemented in the existing EFR middleware, which can be operated locally by machine (e.g. POS system), on-site with multiple clients, centrally (ERP) or as a service in the cloud. The EFR is embedded in the efsta ecosystem to enable secure data processing and transmission, long-term archiving and system administration via the efsta cloud portal.

The use of fiscalisation and e-invoicing modules is not mutually exclusive. For example, an invoice fiscalised according to the law can be used in parallel on a POS system; the common tool for monitoring is the efsta portal.

Country overview

Germany

From 1 January 2025, the basic obligation to use e-invoices will come into force in Germany. To facilitate the transition for companies, flexible transitional arrangements are planned until 2027.

Issuing invoices:
Until the end of 2026, companies may continue to issue paper invoices for B2B sales instead of e-invoices. Electronic invoices that do not comply with the new format are permitted, but only with the recipient's consent.

Until the end of 2027 Companies with a turnover of up to EUR 800,000 in the previous year may continue to use paper invoices or other electronic formats.

Receipt of invoices:
From 1 January 2025 All companies are obliged to be able to receive and process e-invoices. The transitional arrangements only apply to the issuing, not the receipt of invoices.
