- XRechnung 4.0, the German implementation of the new EU standard 16931-1:2026, is set for a comprehensive release in mid to late 2026, bringing significant advancements to e-invoicing.
- Key changes include the dissolution of the strict “one order – one delivery – one invoice” relationship, enhanced B2B e-invoicing capabilities, and a revised methodology for sector-specific extensions, allowing for XML attachments within the core model.
- While the transition to XRechnung 4.0 will require considerable effort from administration, businesses, and software providers due to numerous changes and structural adjustments, it also presents substantial opportunities, particularly in the B2B sector, to elevate e-invoicing to a new, future-proof level.
