E-invoices in 2025:
What's changing and how OS/ is helping to master the transition
An important change will come into force on January 1, 2025:
Electronic invoices will become mandatory in the B2B sector. This means that companies will have to issue and process their invoices in a structured, digital format in future. An end to pure paper chaos and PDFs that are unreadable for machines. The focus is now on efficiency, transparency and error prevention.
But what does this mean for you and your company? And how does OS/ support you with a smooth transition? Here are the answers.
The beginning
An electronic invoice goes beyond a simple PDF file. It is created in a machine-readable, structured format - for example in ZUGFeRD (a combination of a PDF for the human and an XML for the machine). This format combines the best of both worlds: People can read the invoice as usual, and digital systems can automatically process the data it contains.
The result: fewer manual entries, fewer errors and faster processes.
What is changing?
First things first:
A pure PDF invoice will no longer be sufficient from 2025.
Companies must be able to create and process their invoices in a structured format. This includes standards such as ZUGFeRD or XRechnung.
The advantage: these formats make it possible to import invoice data directly into ERP systems or accounting software without the need for manual input.
