FatturaPA / SdI (Italy)

Optional — only for SdI transmission in Italy.

For self-billing or integration only: anyone in Italy purchasing from abroad reports the invoice received to SdI themselves. The supplier invoice number and date then belong in the "Preceding invoice reference" field.

What is ZUGFeRD?

ZUGFeRD — technically identical to the French Factur-X — is a hybrid format: a PDF/A-3 invoice with embedded, machine-readable XML per EN 16931. Humans read the PDF while software processes the XML automatically. From the EN 16931 profile onwards, ZUGFeRD counts as a fully compliant e-invoice in Germany.

How to create ZUGFeRD invoices

1
Enter invoice data
Fill seller, buyer, line items and tax rates into the form — required fields are marked.
2
Validate automatically
Every input is checked against the EN 16931 and format rules; errors are reported right at the field.
3
Download the XML
Download the finished, standard-compliant invoice as XML — or as a hybrid PDF for ZUGFeRD — and send it.
