Has someone experience with the german E-Rechnung and Softr?
I want to manage all invoice-related things in softr. So for one invoice there is a record in softr databases. This record is connected to all invoice items.
If the clients wants a PDF I can simply use the softr generate PDF feature.
But what if I want to create the E-Rechnung Format? Has someone experience with that?
E-Rechnung is a topic in its own and nothing Softr - and most other systems which have PDF creation capabilities - can and mostly likely will handle.
My suggestion is to use a dedicated service specialised in the creation of E-Rechnung and then store these files in Softr. This could be done via API-calls where you send data from Softr to the service and receive back the PDF.
I want to achieve it entirely in softr - without external tools.
As said, that’s nothing Softr is made for. Before you waste time trying out how to create a valid XML file, which is needed for Zugferd, in a Softr workflow and merge it with the invoice PDF, rather spend that time connecting a dedicated API which creates valid E-Rechnung files.
Are there API providers doing this ? could be interesting to integrate within workflows
We are using FastBill. Not yet triggered from Softr, but from our CRM + Python. But should be possible via a Softr workflow I guess. Has some limitations and issues here and there, but overall and especially to simply get a valid E-Rechnung, it works.
