Germany’s E-Rechnung law is live: every B2B business must now be able to receive structured electronic invoices, and sending becomes mandatory step-by-step through 2028. Paylists generates Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format and support to improve cash flow at the same time.
Since 1 January 2025, every German B2B business must be technically able to receive structured electronic invoices (E-Rechnungen). From 2027, larger companies must send them too; from 2028, the obligation extends to all businesses.
An E-Rechnung is not a PDF. It must be a structured XML format following the European EN 16931 standard. Paylists issues invoices in Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, the format used to send invoices over the Peppol network across Europe. PDF-by-email is no longer enough.
Paylists handles all of this for you: generates BIS Billing 3.0 format, delivers it via Peppol or email. If you sell across the border — for example to Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxembourg — we route every invoice over the right Peppol access point automatically.
