Germany Consolidates Its Two Federal B2G E-Invoicing Platforms

• Consolidation of E-Invoicing Platforms: Germany is merging its two federal B2G electronic invoicing platforms, ZRE and OZG-RE, into a single system to enhance efficiency and user experience, with ZRE being phased out by Q4 2025.
• Compliance with EU Directive: In line with the European Directive 2014/55/EU, Germany has updated its legal framework through the E-Rechnungs-Gesetz and E-Rechnungsverordnung, establishing the necessary technical and legal requirements for electronic invoicing in the public sector.
• Phased Rollout and Industry Collaboration: The implementation of B2G electronic invoicing has occurred in phases since 2019, with mandatory receipt and issuance dates established. EDICOM and other technology providers are collaborating to promote digitalization in the B2G ecosystem, including efforts to create a centralized directory for the Leitweg-ID to streamline invoice routing.
