An e-invoice can be generated in no time. SAP Business One includes XRechnung as standard, and anyone working with cks.eINVOICE or the Coresuite Designer can also produce the finished file without too much hassle. One click, one document, done. That’s the ideal scenario. In practice, e-invoices rarely fail because of the generation process, but because of their content. The validation process asks for a buyer reference that has never been maintained. It asks for a contact person with a telephone number or for your own IBAN. And it usually only asks for this once the invoice is already on its way. The new e-invoice check in the Versino Financial Suite verifies the e-invoice before it leaves the company.

A lot has already been written about the e-invoicing requirement. One might think that the issue is settled: the receiving obligation applies from 2025, the formats are known, SAP Business One can handle it. It could be thought that this is all settled.
It’s not. Because the crucial question remains unanswered for most companies so far: Which date actually applies to you personally? And the answer to that is emerging right now, in your ongoing figures for 2026.

Read MoreE-Invoicing 2026: From Receipt to Mandatory Issuance — what SMEs must clarify now
As of 1 January 2025, every B2B company in Germany must be able to receive electronic invoices – regardless of turnover. One and a half years later, the discussion has shifted: instead of focusing on the pure legal situation, in spring 2026 the focus will be on practical application, error avoidance, and the next stage of the dispatch obligation. Companies in the SME sector that do not take action now risk an onboarding backlog with IT service providers from 2027 and, in the worst-case scenario, the loss of input tax deduction.

E-invoicing is no longer a niche topic in Europe. With Directive 2014/55/EU and the technical standard EN 16931, the EU has created a common framework - but in practice, the picture is much more complex.

From 1 January 2025, a mandatory requirement for the receipt of structured electronic invoices will apply to all domestic B2B companies in Germany. No deferral, no transition period for receipt – those who are not yet ready to receive today will no longer be acting in accordance with the law.

The introduction of the mandatory e-invoice shifts the focus away from the mere PDF towards structured data.

Read MoreThe e-invoicing regulations in Europe
Electronic invoicing is no longer a topic of the future, but is becoming a legal requirement in many European countries. Driven by EU initiatives such as ViDA (VAT in the Digital Age), a patchwork of national regulations with an increasingly binding character is emerging.
