EU E-Invoicing Beta

Create EU-ready invoices and review incoming e-invoice files with built-in checks for Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, EN 16931, and Peppol-ready formats. The beta runs through August 12, 2026.

New4

  • Inbox
    • Review supplier e-invoice files in Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, and Peppol UBL formats from your inbox

EU Compliance

Factur-X invoices, gap-free numbering, locked-once-issued documents, and a complete record of everything that happens. Built for the regulators you actually have to answer to, scoped to where they apply.

New9
  • Compliance
    • Invoices and credit notes ship as Factur-X / ZUGFeRD hybrid PDFs that look like a normal PDF to your customer and carry the EN 16931 data Chorus Pro, Peppol, and German B2B receivers expect
    • Pick the e-invoicing format per legal entity, whether EN 16931 for cross-border, Factur-X for German B2B, or off if your country doesn't require it
    • Invoice and credit-note numbers are gap-free per legal entity, which is what French, German, and Italian tax authorities require on every issued document
    • For workspaces with at least one EU legal entity, issued invoices and quotes lock their amounts, dates, customer, and line items. Corrections happen through a credit note, the way regulators expect
    • US, India, and other non-EU workspaces keep editing issued documents in place, so there's no credit-note dance for a typo fix
    • Everything that happens is captured in a single record, including issued, sent, viewed, paid, edits attempted on a locked doc, members added, settings changed, and logins
    • When you try to edit a locked field on an EU workspace, you get a clear message naming which field is locked and why
  • Invoicing
    • Every euro invoice now carries a SEPA QR code, so your customer scans it with their bank app and the transfer is pre-filled
    • Quotes and credit notes are first-class documents with their own lifecycle and locale-aware titles such as FACTURE, RECHNUNG, FATTURA, DEVIS, GUTSCHRIFT, and NOTA DI CREDITO
Improvements3
  • Invoicing
    • Switched the PDF font to Noto Sans so Czech, Polish, Hungarian, and Greek issuers no longer see missing characters or broken accents
    • A bounced or refunded invoice can still flip back to unpaid, and on EU workspaces the amounts stay locked across that round-trip
  • Compliance
    • PDFs now embed the color profile required for German long-term archive readability (GoBD)
