E-Invoicing Germany - End customer instructions

This page guides you through the B2B and B2G E-Invoicing module for Germany and explains how it works with your POS, PMS, or ERP system, as well as how to access, manage, and correct E-Invoices

Configuring Your Seller Information​

Before creating any E-Invoices, ensure your configuration in the Portal (Company, Location, Profile, E-Invoice) is set properly, as this information will be automatically included in all XRechnung XML files.
