Electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) will become mandatory for all companies in Germany in the B2B sector. Starting January 1st, 2025, every company must be able to receive e-invoices. This new regulation also affects the energy sector, which is preparing for a comprehensive transition.
With cpX.Energy, Sopra Steria has already taken all the necessary measures to meet the new requirements.
From 2025, our .Billing module will be able to generate the invoices XRechnungen. XRechnung is the German standard for the exchange of data with electronic invoices, complying with the European norm for invoice creation EN-16931. Unlike the conventional PDF invoices, the XRechnung contain structured data that enables automated processing.
The creation of PDF documents will, of course, remain within the scope of functionality - additionally, alternatively or hybrid with embedded XRechnung.
