NetSuite e-invoicing in Germany

What Oracle documents

Via add-on / extension

Oracle's European Union Electronic Invoicing SuiteApp: receiving only — inbound vendor bills and vendor credits in XRechnung format are converted into transactions; sending German e-invoices is not described in this documentation. Requires a NetSuite OneWorld account and the prerequisite SuiteApps (Electronic Invoicing, EMEA Localization, Advanced Localization Features and others).

What Germany requires

In force

In Germany, recipients have had to accept and process e-invoices since 1 January 2025; there is no general obligation to send them; a legislated step follows from 1 January 2027.

Formats: XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, EN 16931 (UBL 2.1 / CII). Network: No mandated network for B2B; for B2G, ZRE / OZG-RE platforms with Leitweg-ID routing and Peppol.

  • 1 January 2027 — B2B: Transition ends for issuers with prior-year turnover above EUR 800,000: they must issue e-invoices (paper and other formats allowed for all issuers only until 31 Dec 2026)
  • 1 January 2028 — B2B: Transition ends for all issuers (prior-year turnover up to EUR 800,000) and for EDI procedures that do not meet the e-invoice definition: e-invoicing mandatory for all domestic B2B supplies
