Merge of the German federal Invoice platforms ZRE and OZG-RE in 2025

• Platform Merger: By 2025, the Central Federal Invoice Receipt Platform (ZRE) and the Online Access Act-compliant Invoice Receipt Platform (OZG-RE) will merge into a single platform, OZG-RE, to enhance invoicing processes for suppliers to the Federal Government.
• Transition Plan: The transition for federal authorities using ZRE to OZG-RE will occur in two phases, with the first phase set to be completed by June 20, 2025. A detailed schedule will be provided on the BMI website, and suppliers will be informed by their federal buyers.
• Supplier Actions: Existing ZRE Peppol routing IDs will automatically transfer to OZG-RE, requiring no action from those submitting e-invoices via the Peppol network. However, suppliers using the ZRE web portal must register on the OZG-RE portal, as the ZRE portal will be discontinued by December 31, 2025.
