- Germany has enhanced e-invoicing flexibility by integrating XRechnung requirements into Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, allowing both formats to be used interchangeably, which promotes greater interoperability and efficiency in the B2G sector.
- Both formats comply with the European standard EN16931 and share a common semantic foundation, enabling companies to meet mandatory invoicing requirements for public authorities while benefiting from the standardized Peppol network for international transactions.
- The introduction of the “German National Ruleset” (DE-NRS) within Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 incorporates specific XRechnung rules, ensuring legal compliance and facilitating efficient invoice exchanges; however, technical limitations exist for organizations using alternative syntax formats like UN/CEFACT CII.
