Richard Cornellise (Tax Assurance Expert and Blogger) announced the SNI SAP-ZUGFERD Addon. It is a SAP certified SAP add-on enabling electronic invoice exchange including structured data in an efficient way. ZUGFeRD is an abbreviate for »Zentraler User Guide des Forum elektronische Rechnung Deutschland«.

It is an invoicing standard based on UNCEFACT/CII that could play a major role in efficient and effective electronic invoicing. ZUGFeRD invoices carry both a human-readable representation (rendering) of the invoice as well as a structured machine-readable XML representation.

Just like UBL, the objective of ZUGFeRD is to enable electronic invoice exchange including structured data in the public and private sectors:

• ZUGFeRD invoices carry both a human-readable representation (rendering) of the invoice as well as a structured machine-readable XML representation
• The human-readable rendering is encoded as one or more PDF pages according to the PDF/A (standard)

What is the new innovative way?

For companies that run SAP, SNI developed an SAP add-on solution by which e-invoicing requirements can be met in efficient and effective and automated fashion in SAP itself.
