E-Invoicing Solution for Digital Invoice Processing

Fulfill e-invoicing obligations securely and in compliance with the law.

With maxflow® interface eInvoice, invoices in the ZUGFeRD and xInvoices format can be exchanged digitally between companies in a cost-efficient and in an user-friendly way. In addition, the processing process is accelerated and the waiting times and transaction costs of an invoice are reduced to a minimum.

The electronic invoices are also checked for mandatory legal and company information (§14 UStG) and completed using the SAP master data - fully automatically, of course! The e-invoices are also checked for other legal guidelines such as EN16931 and the CIUS rule. This is followed by a comparison with the ordering system and the goods receipts. The invoice image is then stored in the archive (via SAP ArchiveLink) and an SAP document is created from the structured data in the XML, which is linked to the image. In the case of XRechnungen, an image is automatically generated from the invoice data, which clerks can check visually in the same way as a PDF invoice.

Despite fully automated processing, maximum transparency and control over the process is guaranteed. In addition, maxflow® interface eInvoice includes complete monitoring of the process steps performed for all invoices processed, as well as the proven validation surface for manual intervention in the process.

Receive Electronic Invoices from Any Source

The way in which an invoice file is transmitted from the invoice issuer to the recipient (e.g. e-mail mailbox or directory) is entirely up to the user. In order to do justice to this, the maxflow® interface connector is part of maxflow® interface eRechnung. The connector monitors the respective systems and regularly checks whether electronic invoices have been received there. If electronic invoices have been received, it retrieves them, validates them against legal guidelines (e.g. EN16931 and CIUS rule) and visualizes an invoice image for received XRechnung invoices. If the validation is successful, the e-invoice is automatically transferred to the SAP system.

What is a ZUGFeRD invoice?

A ZUGFeRD invoice is an electronic invoice as defined by the legislator and enables invoice data to be stored in a structured manner so that this invoice can be further processed by machine. ZUGFeRD invoices initially look like conventional PDF invoices, but the attachment contains structured invoice data in XML format for further processing. The maxflow® interface Connector decouples the XML from the PDF and transfers both files to the SAP system or to our SAP interface maxflow® interface eRechnung.

What is an xInvoice?

The XRechnung is also an electronic invoice format and complies with the European standard EN16931, but unlike the ZUGFeRD invoice, the XRechnung does not provide an invoice image, only the structured invoice data in XML format. The maxflow® interface Connector automatically generates an invoice image from the XML data so that the clerks have the option of displaying the invoice visually in the respective workflow steps.
