Implement e-invoicing efficiently

The introduction of e-invoicing changes not only formats, but also the requirements for data quality, processing, and workflows in invoice intake.

E-invoicing: more than a format shift

Formats such as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD provide structured data. At the same time, traditional PDF invoices and mixed inputs continue to exist in practice. Organizations therefore face the challenge of processing different formats in parallel, correctly identifying content, and preparing it as system-ready data.

That’s why e-invoicing is not only about supporting new formats, but also about ensuring that data is consistent, complete, and ready for further processing.

Structure enables compliance

bluDELTA creates a consistent and system-ready data foundation for further processing – regardless of the document type.

E-invoicing: where the real costs arise

The economic challenge lies not in the format itself, but in processing. Different inputs must be identified, validated, and correctly assigned. Content is not always complete or unambiguous and therefore requires manual rework.

Typical sources of effort include:

  • manual validation of invoices
  • incomplete or incorrect data
  • clarifications and corrections
  • breaks between formats and systems

As volumes increase, this effort grows and directly impacts costs and process stability.

How does bluDELTA enable efficient implementation?

bluDELTA operates at the point of document intake and processes both structured e-invoices and traditional documents within a unified workflow. Incoming invoices are automatically identified, classified, and relevant information is extracted. This is followed by contextual assignment and enrichment through matching with existing master data.

The result is a consistent and system-ready data foundation – regardless of whether the invoice is XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, or a traditional PDF.

What defines efficient e-invoicing processing?

Downstream systems work directly with complete and consistent data.

The obligation to use e-invoicing applies to all organizations. The difference lies in how it is implemented. If formats are processed but data is not consistently prepared, effort shifts into manual validation and rework.

Only when data is complete, clearly assigned, and system-ready can processes be operated in a stable and efficient way.

E-invoicing can then be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows.

Frequently asked questions about e-invoicing

What is the difference between XRechnung and PDF?2026-06-29T15:27:28+02:00

An XRechnung contains structured data that can be processed directly by systems. A PDF invoice presents content visually and requires additional processing steps to make data usable.

Can bluDELTA process XRechnung and ZUGFeRD?2026-06-29T15:26:53+02:00

Yes. bluDELTA processes structured e-invoice formats as well as traditional documents and brings them together into a unified data foundation.

Is it enough to recognize e-invoices?2026-06-29T15:26:17+02:00

No. What matters is that the data is complete, correctly assigned, and provided in a system-ready format.

Does the ERP system need to be adapted?2026-06-29T15:25:46+02:00

No. bluDELTA complements existing systems by structuring the data foundation before further processing.

What does EN 16931 mean for organizations?2026-06-29T15:25:16+02:00

The standard defines requirements for structured invoice data. In practice, it is crucial that this data is correctly processed and integrated into existing workflows.
