A significant change will come into effect at the turn of 2025, significantly impacting financial management in German companies: the mandatory introduction of electronic invoicing in the B2B sector. Approved by the Bundesrat as part of the Growth Opportunities Act on March 22, 2024, this regulation aims to transform B2B invoices into a structured data set and completely eliminate paper invoices. The European standard EN16931 requires that e-invoices be created in either the ZUGFeRD format (from version 2.X) or as XRechnung (CII-XML or UBL-XML).
ehotel® has developed solutions to help companies adapt to these new requirements and support them with efficient solutions. These automated solutions are part of our standard offering, which has ensured smooth handling of booking and billing processes for years while also meeting current compliance requirements.
