obligation to receive
From January 1, 2025, all companies must be able to receive electronic invoices that comply with the XRechnung or ZUGFeRD formats. This means that existing systems must provide the technical infrastructure to process these formats and archive them in accordance with the law.
From 2027 -
Obligation to issue for large companies
From 2027, companies with an annual turnover of over 800,000 euros will be obliged not only to receive invoices, but also to issue them exclusively electronically in the prescribed formats. This requires a comprehensive adjustment of the invoicing processes in order to completely eliminate manual and paper-based procedures.
From 2028 -
General obligation to issue
From 2028, all companies will be required to issue e-invoices for all companies. All companies must issue invoices exclusively electronically and in the prescribed format.
To ensure that you meet legal requirements, you should adapt your invoicing processes and systems in good time. Companies that continue to work manually or rely on outdated SAP systems not only risk falling behind, but also serious compliance problems.

Frequently asked questions
The e-invoicing requirement starts on January 1, 2025. From this date, all companies must be able to receive electronic invoices in XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format. The obligation to also issue e-invoices will take effect gradually: from 2027 for companies with a turnover of over 800,000 euros and from 2028 for all companies in the B2B sector.
Companies that do not comply with the new regulations risk fines and sanctions. There is also a risk that invoices will be rejected by business partners, which can lead to delays in payment transactions. In the long term, failure to comply with the e-invoicing obligation can have a negative impact on cash flow and customer relationships.
The integration is achieved by implementing specific modules and interfaces that enable seamless processing of XRechnung and ZUGFeRD. objective partner offers tailor-made solutions that prepare your SAP system for these requirements and at the same time promote the automation of your invoice processes.
Newer SAP versions such as S/4HANA already offer basic support for electronic invoices. However, older SAP ERP systems often require additional adjustments to meet the new e-invoicing standards. Our experts will analyze your existing SAP system and adapt it accordingly.
XRechnung and ZUGFeRD are standardized formats for electronic invoices. XRechnung is the preferred format for exchanging e-invoices with public contracting authorities, while ZUGFeRD is widely used in the private sector. Both formats offer structured data transfer that enables automated processing.
The introduction of e-invoicing automates many manual processes that are often error-prone and time-consuming. By automating invoice processing, errors are minimized, the payment process is accelerated and transparency in the processes is increased. This leads to an overall more efficient processing of invoices.
