Germany e-Invoicing ERP and Accounting Integration FAQs: SAP, Dynamics, Datev, QuickBooks, Xero and More
1. Which German ERP and accounting systems does Advintek connect with?
No need to replace your existing software. Advintek connects with SAP, SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics, Datev, Sage and more, producing compliant XRechnung and ZUGFeRD invoices.
2. Do I need to replace my ERP to comply with the German mandate?
Usually not. An e-invoicing platform can sit alongside your ERP, receiving data, creating structured invoices and validating them.
3. How does the integration work?
Invoice data flows from your ERP or accounting software to the platform, where it is converted, validated and delivered, and incoming invoices flow back for posting.
4. Can I receive and send e-invoices through the same connection?
Yes. A connected workflow can handle outgoing invoices and process incoming XML for accounts payable.
5. How long does an integration take?
Timelines depend on your system, customisation and number of entities. Cloud accounting tools are often quicker than complex enterprise ERPs.
6. What data do I need to provide?
Seller and buyer details, VAT IDs, line items, tax codes, payment terms and references such as buyer reference or Leitweg-ID where relevant.
