ZUGFeRD Overview

Einführung

ZUGFeRD (Zentraler User Guide des Forums elektronische Rechnung Deutschland) ist ein deutscher E-Invoicing-Standard, der auf der UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice (CII) und dem ISO-Standard 19005-3 (PDF/A-3) basiert. Er ermöglicht den Austausch strukturierter Rechnungsdaten in einer PDF-Datei.

DocBits extrahiert Felder aus ZUGFeRD-Dokumenten und gleicht sie mit Infor ERP-Systemen (M3, LN) unter Verwendung von OAGIS BOD-Standards ab.

Unterstützte ZUGFeRD-Versionen

DocBits unterstützt mehrere Versionen des ZUGFeRD-Standards:

Document Type & Sub-Type (TRA-driven)

Same logic applies to Factur-X — Factur-X 1.x uses the same CII vocabulary as ZUGFeRD 2.x, so the dynamic block below is emitted for both.

In addition to the raw INVOICE_TYPE_CODE, the default TRANSFORMATION XSLT emits a canonical <INVOICE> tree with two derived fields:

DocBits Field
Source
Logic

INVOICE_TYPE

ExchangedDocument/TypeCode (or HeaderExchangedDocument/TypeCode for ZUGFeRD 1.0)

UNCL 1001 381 or 261Credit Note; any other code → Invoice

INVOICE_SUB_TYPE

BuyerOrderReferencedDocument/IssuerAssignedID presence (under ApplicableHeaderTradeAgreement for 2.x / ApplicableSupplyChainTradeAgreement for 1.0)

Non-empty → Purchase Invoice; empty/missing → Cost Invoice

INVOICE_SUB_TYPE discriminates PO-linked invoices from direct cost invoices for AP routing.

Tax Breakdown (Tier-classified)

The default TRANSFORMATION XSLT distributes ApplicableTradeTax blocks across three rate-based tiers rather than using positional indexes. Each block is matched to a tier by its RateApplicablePercent:

Tier
DocBits Fields
Selection Rule

Tier 1 (Standard)

TAX_RATE, NET_AMOUNT, TAX_AMOUNT

rate ≥ 19

Tier 2 (Reduced)

TAX_RATE_2, NET_AMOUNT_2, TAX_AMOUNT_2

0 < rate < 19

Tier 3 (Zero)

TAX_RATE_3, NET_AMOUNT_3, TAX_AMOUNT_3

rate = 0
