Electronic Invoicing turns Magento invoices and credit memos into standards-compliant electronic invoices according to EN 16931 – as pure XML (ZUGFeRD/Cross Industry Invoice), as a hybrid ZUGFeRD PDF with embedded XML, and in the German XRechnung format for the public sector.
This documentation refers to the current module version (1.3.2) and is organised by topic. Basic Magento knowledge is assumed.
Supported formats
| Format | Standard | Region | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZUGFeRD 2.x | EN 16931 | Germany/EU | Fully supported |
| XRechnung 3.0 | EN 16931 CIUS | Germany (public sector) | Fully supported |
| Factur-X | EN 16931 | France/EU | Fully supported |
ZUGFeRD, Factur-X and XRechnung are all based on the same European standard EN 16931 and on the Cross Industry Invoice (CII) syntax. They differ in scope (profile) and – in the case of XRechnung – in additional national business rules (CIUS).
