ZUGFeRD

ZUGFeRD is a data format developed in Germany for the exchange and processing of electronic invoices. The name stands for “Central User Guide of the Electronic Invoice Forum Germany.” It is a hybrid data format in which an invoice consists of a PDF/A-3 document and an embedded XML file.

The German Federal Association for Software and Digitalization in Construction (BVBS), the German Wholesale Association for Building Services (DG Haustechnik), and the German Central Association for Sanitary, Heating, and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK) have developed an implementation recommendation for the SHK sector in the ODX working group. This recommendation takes into account the specific characteristics of the industry in order to ensure uniform and automatic processing of invoices. The recommendation is aimed at wholesalers and software companies in the trade and is freely available.
