Your Path to E-Invoicing – Automated and Compliant with Standards
E-invoicing isn’t just a new format—it’s transforming the way invoices are created, verified, sent, paid, and reported. Starting in 2025, the obligation to receive e-invoices will take effect; starting in 2027, the obligation to send them will take effect; and starting in 2030, EU-wide reporting requirements will be added. nexnet guides your company through the entire transition: automated, compliant with standards, and as a reliable business partner for your order-to-cash process.

The nexnet platform fully supports the XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats and automatically keeps you up to date with the latest German and European regulations.
Automated. Always.
Invoices are automatically generated, sent, and processed in a structured XML format—via the Peppol network or a direct API channel—without any manual intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions About E-Billing
Answers to the Most Important Questions About Electronic Invoicing in Germany
What is an e-bill, and why is it becoming mandatory?
An e-invoice is an invoice in a structured XML format that can be processed automatically. Starting in 2025, all companies must be able to receive e-invoices; starting in 2027, sending e-invoices will be mandatory; and starting in 2030, EU-wide reporting requirements will take effect.
What is the difference between XRechnung and ZUGFeRD?
XRechnung is a purely machine-readable XML format—the target state for scaled digital processes, which will become mandatory as of July 1, 2027. ZUGFeRD combines a human-readable PDF with embedded XML and serves as a transitional solution starting January 1, 2027. nexnet fully supports both formats.
When does the e-invoicing requirement take effect for my company?
The obligation to receive invoices takes effect on January 1, 2025. The obligation to send invoices begins on January 1, 2027, for ZUGFeRD, and on July 1, 2027, for XRechnung. Starting in 2028, the obligation applies to everyone. Starting in 2030, EU-wide reporting requirements will be added.
Do we need to switch our ERP system?
Your existing ERP system will be integrated directly, without requiring you to replace your current software.
Is the nexnet solution Peppol-certified?
Yes. nexnet is a certified Peppol Access Point for standardized B2B invoice exchange in Germany and throughout Europe.
What are the most common mistakes made when implementing e-billing?
Most problems stem from poor master data: incorrect recipient IDs, missing tax information, or unclear delivery routes lead to rejections. nexnet checks these points in advance and structures its operations in such a way that errors don’t occur in the first place.
What does e-invoicing have to do with order-to-cash?
E-invoicing is the first step toward a fully digital order-to-cash process. Structured invoices are processed and paid more quickly—which shortens payment cycles and improves cash flow.
How long does the implementation take?
Full integration is typically completed within two to four weeks—including master data validation, a test run, and monitoring after go-live.
