Electronic Invoices

Cakedesk now supports electronic invoices (XRechnung). This feature is available for users in Germany.

#How to Create an XRechnung with Cakedesk

#1. Enable XRechnungen for Clients

To create an E-Invoice for a client, go to the respective client and check the box at the bottom that says "Enable XRechnungen for this client."

You can then enter a Routing ID (Leitweg-ID) for the client in case they are in the public administration.

#2. Create the Invoice

Create an invoice for the client as usual. When you save the invoice, an XRechnung will automatically be generated.

#3. Export the XRechnung

After saving the invoice, right-click on the invoice and select "Export XRechnung…".

#How to Adjust Fields for XRechnungen

You can adjust XRechnung-specific fields under Settings > Invoices, such as the name of the contact person, the payment term in days, or your IBAN.

To create a valid XRechnung, make sure all fields are filled out correctly.

#How to Check an XRechnung

XRechnung is an XML format that is not easily readable by humans. Cakedesk currently does not offer a way to visualize XRechnungen, but there are many online tools that can help.

For example, you can upload, check, and visualize the XRechnung at e-rechnung.bayern.de.

Cakedesk is currently working on its own feature for validating XRechnungen. You can find a preview version here: Validate XRechnung.
