E-Rechnung: XRechnung ZUGFeRD

Fruhji

About this app

E-Invoicing Mobile makes e-invoicing easy—directly from your smartphone.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
E-Invoicing Mobile is an independent app from Fruhji. It does not represent any government or authority and is not affiliated with any government agency. The information provided does not replace legal or tax advice.

In Germany, since 2025, companies must be able to receive e-invoices; transitional periods and exceptions apply to issuing them.

A simple PDF is not an e-invoice: It lacks structured data according to EN 16931.

OPEN E-INVOICES (free)
View received XRechnung and ZUGFeRD files in a human-readable format: Sender, items, and amounts are clearly displayed. XRechnung is XML; ZUGFeRD combines a PDF with embedded XML data.

CREATE INVOICES

- Enter items via photo of a receipt, dictation, or manually

- Check VAT, totals, and mandatory fields

- Small businesses according to § 19 UStG: no VAT shown, with explanatory text

- Export as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD PDF (PDF/A-3 with embedded XML)

TRANSPARENTICALLY VERIFIED
Representative test invoices are being tested during development using KoSIT, veraPDF, and Mustang. This is not official certification and does not replace the verification of your actual invoice.

WRITE-PROOF ARCHIVE (Premium)
XML and ZUGFeRD PDF are archived together in an atomic format and remain unalterable for 10 years. With your secure archive key, you can load the originals even after switching devices.

PREMIUM
Unlimited free reading, plus 3 invoices per month. Premium unlocks unlimited invoices and archive access. The current price is displayed in the store.

TRACK INVOICES
Mark invoices as open, overdue, or paid, search, and filter. Use frequently used items as templates. "Repeat invoice" creates a new draft; the original remains unchanged.

QUOTATIONS AND REMINDERS
- Create quotes and convert them into invoices
- Local dunning with three levels
- EPC QR code on invoices
- DATEV export and accounts receivable dashboard

RECURRING DRAFTS
Schedule regular orders as drafts monthly, quarterly, or annually. Fully review each invoice before creating it. Purely local planning; never sends automatically.

For tradespeople, freelancers, the self-employed, and small businesses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I already have to issue e-invoices?

For domestic B2B sales, transitional periods apply until the end of 2026, and for sales up to €800,000 in the previous year, until the end of 2027. Exceptions include small businesses, small-value invoices, and certain tax-exempt sales. Separate rules apply to public contracts.

Do I need this as a small business owner?

Small businesses must also be able to receive e-invoices. An email inbox is sufficient; this app is not mandatory. Small businesses are exempt from the VAT obligation to issue e-invoices.

Do I need internet access or an account?

Opening and reading received files works offline. The generation of XRechnung and ZUGFeRD PDFs runs on our server; photo and dictation recognition is additionally handled by Anthropic. No account, no login. No advertising, no analysis of your invoice data.
