Frequently Asked Questions

XRechnung is Germany's national e-invoicing standard, mandatory for B2G (business-to-government) invoices. It's a CIUS (Core Invoice Usage Specification) implementing the European EN 16931 standard.

It validates XML structure, XRechnung-specific identifiers, required elements per German regulations, and basic EN 16931 compliance including party information and monetary totals.

No. XRechnung is pure XML based on UBL or CII. ZUGFeRD is a hybrid PDF+XML format. However, ZUGFeRD EXTENDED profile is EN 16931 compliant and can fulfill XRechnung requirements.

Yes. All validation happens locally in your browser. Your invoice XML including amounts, parties, and tax data never leaves your device.

The validator supports XRechnung 2.x and 3.x versions. Both UBL-based and CII-based XRechnung formats are recognized.

The Leitweg-ID is a mandatory routing identifier for German public authorities. It's required in the BuyerReference field for B2G invoices.

No. Leitweg-ID is only required for invoices to German public authorities. B2B invoices can use XRechnung format without this identifier.

Submit via the ZRE (Zentraler Rechnungseingang) portal for federal authorities, or through OZG-RE portals for state/municipal authorities. PEPPOL network is also supported.

Each error shows the missing or incorrect element. Update your invoicing software configuration or template to include required fields.

This is a pre-submission check. For official validation, use the KoSIT Validator or the receiving portal's validation. This helps catch errors before submission.
