About this tool

The German standard for B2G invoicing.

XRechnung is the mandatory XML format for invoicing German federal, state, and municipal public bodies. It is a Core Invoice Usage Specification on top of EN 16931, maintained by the Coordination Office for IT Standards (KoSIT). If you supply goods or services to a German government body, this is the format your invoice has to take.

What is the Leitweg-ID?

The Leitweg-ID is the routing identifier of the receiving public agency. Federal authorities, state authorities, and municipalities each issue their own. Your customer should provide theirs; without a valid Leitweg-ID, the invoice will be rejected at the central submission portal.

Where do I submit XRechnung?

Federal authorities use ZRE (Zentrale Rechnungseingangsplattform). Other public bodies use OZG-RE or their state-level platform. Many of these also accept Peppol delivery. This tool produces the XML; submission happens through your accounting system or the relevant portal.
