How Does E-invoicing Integrate with ERP Systems Like SAP in Germany?

Integrating e-invoicing with SAP can greatly enhance efficiency

E-invoicing is transforming the invoicing landscape in Germany, making it more efficient, compliant, and transparent. For businesses using ERP systems like SAP, integrating e-invoicing is a critical step towards digital transformation. The prominent e-invoicing standards in Germany are ZUGFeRD and XRechnung, which ensure that invoices meet regulatory requirements and can be processed electronically.

Send and Receive E-invoices with Your SAP Software

Melasoft provides comprehensive solutions to seamlessly integrate e-invoicing with your SAP system. Here’s how it works:

Sending E-invoices

With Melasoft’s e-invoicing solution, you can send e-invoices using an SAP add-on

With Melasoft’s e-invoicing solution, you can send e-invoices using an SAP add-on. The process involves:

  • Invoice Generation: First, generate the invoice within SAP, ensuring it complies with ZUGFeRD or XRechnung standards.
  • Data Mapping: The SAP add-on maps the invoice data to the required e-invoice format.
  • Format Validation: The add-on validates the invoice format to ensure it meets the necessary standards.
  • Transmission: The validated e-invoice is then transmitted to the recipient via secure channels, such as web services or e-invoicing platforms like PEPPOL.

This automated process reduces manual errors, speeds up the invoicing cycle, and ensures compliance with German regulations.

Receiving E-invoices

  • Configuration: Set up your SAP system to accept invoices via secure methods, such as direct web services (SOAP/REST APIs) or email.
  • Automatic Import: The SAP add-on automatically imports the received invoices into the system.
  • Format Validation: The add-on validates the format of the received invoices (e.g., ZUGFeRD, XRechnung) to ensure they comply with the standards.
  • Data Compliance Check: It checks the data for compliance with regulatory requirements and company policies.
  • Processing: Once validated, the invoices are processed in the SAP system, ready for approval and payment.

This integration ensures a smooth and compliant invoicing process, enhancing efficiency and reducing the risk of errors.
