How to send e-invoices from sevdesk

File export onlyXRechnungZUGFeRDsevdesk · 🇩🇪

sevdesk documents creating and sending electronic invoices in XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats. The inspected guide explains invoice information requirements but does not establish native Peppol transport.

Before you start

  • Enter the company’s VAT identification number in company settings.
  • Complete bank details, payment terms and sender contact information.
  • Obtain a Leitweg-ID when required by a public-sector customer.
  • Obtain an order number where the recipient requires one.

Step by step

  1. 1Check the company identification and bank information.
  2. 2Create the invoice for the intended customer.
  3. 3Complete payment terms and sender contact details.
  4. 4Enter the recipient’s reference and order information where applicable.
  5. 5Select the appropriate electronic invoice format.
  6. 6Check and send or download the structured invoice for the recipient’s accepted delivery channel.

Why invoices from sevdesk get rejected

  • The guide requires the company VAT identification number for electronic invoice creation.
  • For public-sector delivery, use the recipient’s correct Leitweg-ID rather than an internal customer number.
  • Include an order number when required by the customer, together with payment and bank information.

Good to know

  • The classification describes the documented file workflow, not proof that every external Peppol integration is unavailable.
