Features at a Glance
100% Cloud-Enabled
The solution is 100% cloud-enabled.
Custom Fields
This feature is only available in the inbound process. With the help of "Custom Fields" it is possible to read any information from e-invoices and pass it to the target documents in Business Central. The extracted information can be displayed in the intermediate structure eDoc. This feature is especially suitable for filling your own customer-specific fields in the target document.
Extended Attachments
Extended attachments allow embedding additional attachments into the PDF when generating hybrid formats (ZUGFeRD, FacturX). By using an event subscriber OnCreateAttachmentsForOutboundRESTCall, you can add additional documents you create, such as service reports, product sheets, etc., as attachments to the PDF.
Purchase, Service, and Sales Documents
Import of purchase invoices and credit notes. Export of sales invoices and credit notes, as well as service invoices and credit notes.
Generic Mapping
The mapping of the formats/profiles is completely generic. It can be easily customized or modified. Additionally, custom formats can be defined that do not comply with the EU standard 16931.
Transformation Rules - Generic Data Conversion
When processing fixed formats on import or export, data conversion is often necessary. With the help of transformation rules, we have a very powerful tool that supports data conversion.
Support for Numerous National Formats
The eDoc App supports numerous local formats as standard. The formats are based on the standards of the EU norm EN 16931 and are sometimes available in different versions and variations. Both hybrid formats and pure XML-based formats are supported. Currently delivered in the standard mapping are the following formats:
-
ZUGFeRD
-
FacturX
-
XRechnung
-
FatturaPA
-
ebInterface
-
Facturae
-
KSEF FA2
-
...
Support for XML Syntaxes CII and UBL
The abbreviations UBL and CII stand for Universal Business Language and Cross Industry Invoice respectively, and are XML-based syntaxes used in e-invoices.
In Germany, mainly two e-invoice formats are prevalent – XRechnung and ZUGFeRD. The XRechnung format supports both syntaxes, while ZUGFeRD supports only CII.
With the eDoc App, both syntaxes are supported, so e-invoices can be created and read in both syntaxes.
Stepwise Batch Import Processing
Ideally, an incoming document is processed fully automatically up to the incoming invoice/credit note. The inbound processing can be divided into 4 stages, which can be automated independently.
Automated Incoming Invoice Processing
Incoming invoices are initially pre-registered as intermediate invoices (eDoc) and can be checked and supplemented before posting. An automatic matching with preceding documents such as purchase orders or delivery notes ensures the accuracy of the information.
Multiple Transmission Channels
The eDoc App solution enables and supports different transmission channels for e-invoices to your customers or from your suppliers. Besides traditional transmission via email, we also support connection to web portals, clearing houses, or cloud services via API-based transmission. The older transmission method via file exchange is also supported. The appropriate transmission channel strongly depends on the use case, legal requirements, and company size. Overview of transmission channels: - Email - Clearing houses - Web portals - File exchange - Peppol - Cloud services - API-based transmissions
Approval Workflow
A freely configurable workflow at the eDoc level enables document approval by all relevant parties even before the BC document is created. This step ensures transparent review and final approval of the invoice (included in the Enterprise package).
