For businesses operating in Germany, e-invoicing is no longer a future consideration - it is quickly becoming the default. With strict requirements under the Growth and Opportunities Act, companies must send and receive structured invoices that comply with EN 16931, leaving PDFs and paper formats behind.
The Challenge: Complex E-Rechnung Mandates
Germany’s phased rollout of e-invoicing obligations requires companies to adopt structured formats such as XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, or UBL. Manual handling or relying on ERP-native tools creates compliance risks, delays, and inefficiencies. Without automation, businesses face rejected invoices, VAT deduction issues, and unnecessary strain on finance teams.
The Lasernet Approach: Automated, Compliant E-Invoicing
Lasernet generates fully compliant invoice formats directly from ERP platforms like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations or Business Central. Business rules automatically select the correct format and deliver it through the right channel - whether PEPPOL, email, web service, or secure portal. This ensures invoices are valid under German law from the moment they are issued, without additional tools or manual intervention.
Why It Matters
The benefits are clear:- Compliance: Invoices meet EN 16931 and Germany’s E-Rechnung requirements.
- Efficiency: Automation eliminates manual adjustments and reduces processing time.
- Accuracy: Structured formats prevent errors and rejections, ensuring VAT deductions are valid.
Staying Ahead of Regulation
By automating e-invoicing, businesses in Germany can adapt to today’s requirements and be prepared for the 2027 and 2028 milestones. Lasernet makes compliance part of the process, not a disruption.
