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