CargoWise Germany e‑Invoicing Integration

Comply with XRechnung and ZUGFeRD, Without Adding a Separate Platform

Get structured invoice receiving and issuing, in XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format, built directly into your CargoWise environment, so compliance runs from the system you already use for shipments and billing.

Receiving e‑invoices is already mandatory. Issuing them is being phased in right behind it.

Germany's B2B e‑invoicing mandate, introduced through the Wachstumschancengesetz, made the ability to receive structured e‑invoices mandatory for domestic B2B transactions from January 2025, with the obligation to issue them phasing in on a company-size timeline over the following years. B2G invoicing to public sector bodies via XRechnung has already been mandatory for some time.

Structured e‑invoices in Germany generally follow the XRechnung or ZUGFeRD (hybrid PDF) formats, and getting the mapping wrong risks invoices your customers' systems simply can't process. CargoWise Germany e‑Invoicing Integration builds both receiving and issuing capability directly into your CargoWise environment.

The Real Problems

Challenges freight businesses actually run into with e‑invoicing

Parameters
Challenge
Our Fix
Structured Invoices Received Without a Processing Path

Being able to technically receive an XRechnung or ZUGFeRD file doesn't help if there's no automated way to process it.

Incoming XRechnung and ZUGFeRD invoices are processed automatically into CargoWise, not left as files nobody can act on.

Data Errors Reaching Trading Partners

Incorrect VAT ID, tax codes, or line-item details in a structured invoice get rejected by the receiving system.

Invoice data is validated against CargoWise records before transmission, catching mismatches before they reach the recipient.

Issuing Obligations Phasing In by Company Size

Tracking exactly when your business needs to start issuing structured e‑invoices is easy to get wrong.

Your issuing capability is built ahead of your company-size deadline, so the phase-in date is a formality, not a scramble.

Invoice Formats Not Matching Between Systems

The invoice format CargoWise generates and what XRechnung or ZUGFeRD requires are not automatically the same.

Field mapping keeps your CargoWise invoice and the structured version in sync, with a clear audit trail between the two.

XRechnung and ZUGFeRD Are Not Interchangeable

Different trading partners and government bodies expect different formats, and getting the wrong one causes rejection.

CargoWise generates the correct format, XRechnung or ZUGFeRD, per trading partner or government body automatically.
