ZUGFeRD Deutschland
Sealed, verified ZUGFeRD 2.x hybrid PDF/A-3 invoices in every conformance profile — for Odoo 18 & 19
Turn your German customer invoices into mandate-ready hybrid documents: the EN 16931 CII XML embedded into a human-readable PDF/A-3, in MINIMUM, BASIC WL, BASIC, EN 16931 (COMFORT), EXTENDED and the XRechnung 3.x profile. Built on the ZUGFeRD / XRechnung engine — this app adds the generation, sealing and fleet-management layer on top.
Every conformance profile
One generator, every ZUGFeRD 2.x / Factur-X profile. Each emits the correct guideline-context URN and the right optional blocks, following the UN/CEFACT CII D16B schema and EN 16931 monetary semantics. A Leitweg-ID buyer auto-escalates to XRechnung 3.x.
Mandate-grade enforcement
MINIMUM and BASIC WL are booking aids, not complete invoices — the German tax authority does not accept them as the e-invoice. The generator refuses to seal a booking-aid profile as the legal invoice and escalates to EN 16931 instead, so you never ship a non-conformant document by accident.
Real content sealing & verification
A chained SHA-256 seal binds the embedded CII XML to the produced PDF. After embedding, the app re-extracts the XML from the PDF and checks it byte-for-byte — so a carrier that silently drops the attachment is caught, not shipped. The seal and both digests are stored on the invoice for an auditable trail.
Profile policy rules
Encode your profile choices once: declarative per-company rules route B2G (Leitweg-ID) buyers to XRechnung, EU cross-border to EXTENDED, and everyone else to your default — evaluated in order, first match wins. Per-customer overrides are supported too.
Batch generation
Seal a whole month of customer invoices in one run, with a per-invoice result report (profile chosen, seal, success / error). A single bad invoice never aborts the batch.
BYOK & on-premise
Documents are generated and stored on your own database — no invoice data is transmitted anywhere. The KoSIT validator URL and the specification references ship as editable defaults; transport to a Peppol access point or a German portal is handled by your separately configured connector.
German e-invoicing timeline
Receive a structured e-invoice since 1 Jan 2025; issue for prior-year turnover above EUR 800,000 from 1 Jan 2027; all German businesses must issue from 1 Jan 2028. This app gets you ready across every profile, in Odoo 18 and Odoo 19.
