- Germany and France will jointly update their e-invoicing formats, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, on 15 January 2026 to align with EU standard EN 16931 and upcoming B2B e-invoicing mandates.
- The update expands technical capabilities, improves interoperability, and ensures full compatibility between both formats, supporting complex business scenarios and French AFNOR requirements.
- The new versions will support France’s B2B e-invoicing mandate, allow small rounding differences, and include improved documentation, updated sample files, and minor bug fixes.
- ZUGFeRD and Factur-X remain fully EU-compliant, hybrid formats (PDF + XML), widely supported by EDI, ERP, and accounting systems, and compatible with France’s Chorus Pro platform.
