E-invoicing software compliant with EN 16931 for ZUGFeRD, UBL, CII, PEPPOL BIS 3.0 Billing, and EDIFACT

Treesoft E-Invoice Toolkit – the E-Invoice Software

With the Treesoft E-Invoice Toolkit, you can effortlessly meet all legal e-invoicing requirements. You can use it to receive, validate, and edit e-invoices—and, if you wish, create them using our integrated Creator (your mini-ERP). With the Treesoft E-Invoice Toolkit, anything is possible.

If your software only generates PDF invoices—no problem! The PDF2E-Rechnung Converter included in the toolkit can even convert traditional PDF invoices into legally compliant e-invoices in no time. It fully supports all common standards, such as ZUGFeRD, UBL, CII, e-invoicing (according to EN 16931), PEPPOL BIS 3.0 Billing, and EDIFACT. You’ve actually found the one-stop solution 😉.

Add e-invoicing functionality to your ERP software

If you’re using a proven ERP software solution and want to add the e-invoicing functionality it lacks, then the Treesoft E-Invoicing Toolkit is exactly what you need.

Customizing your existing ERP system can be expensive, time-consuming, or technically impractical. A complete system overhaul is even more costly. The Treesoft E-Invoice Toolkit offers an alternative: You keep your existing system and simply add the missing e-invoice features.

An Overview of All E-Invoicing Features—Without Changing Your ERP System

  • You can simply continue using your existing ERP software.
  • No need for a complex implementation of a new, expensive ERP system.
  • Local on-premises installation: The toolkit runs directly on your system, and your customer and billing data remain securely stored on your own system.
  • Permanently free access: With the built-in Treesoft E-Invoice Viewer, you can receive and save e-invoices for free, with no limits.
  • Maximum validation reliability: The Treesoft E-Invoice Validator enables real-time validation against official standards (Schematron/XSLT, XSD). To do this, the toolkit uses the proven libraries from Mustang, drawing on a foundation that has been tested over many years and is highly compliant with standards.
  • Includes a PDF printer: The Treesoft PDF Printer is already included in the toolkit.
  • Smart PDF Conversion: The Treesoft PDF2E-Rechnung Converter converts your traditional PDF invoices into legally compliant e-invoices in no time. It fully supports all common standards, such as ZUGFeRD, UBL, CII, e-invoicing (per EN 16931), PEPPOL BIS 3.0 Billing, and EDIFACT.
  • Automatic PDF/A-3 Upgrade: If your PDF invoice is not yet in the PDF/A-3 format required by ZUGFeRD, the toolkit will convert it automatically and free of charge.
  • Flexible Document Management: Incoming and outgoing invoices are filed automatically, and you have complete freedom to configure the folder and file names.
  • Audit-proof database: Your invoices are automatically stored in a way that prevents them from being altered, ensuring full GoBD compliance.
  • Automatic Invoice Register: The toolkit automatically generates a complete register of incoming and outgoing invoices in the background.
  • Audit Export at the Click of a Button: Using the integrated IDEA export feature, you can immediately submit data during a tax audit in the format officially required by the tax office—ensuring legal compliance and adherence to GoBD standards.
    The Treesoft E-Invoice Toolkit protects you from unpleasant surprises during a tax audit. Our system exports your outbound invoice ledger exactly in the standardized IDEA format (including the required index.xml file). The tax auditor can import the data directly into the tax authority’s official audit software. Combined with our tamper-proof database archiving, this ensures you are completely compliant with tax law.
  • Process Automation: Recurring conversion and distribution processes can be easily automated.

This allows you to add all the necessary functions for ZUGFeRD/Factur-X, CII, UBL, e-invoicing (in XRechnung syntax), PEPPOL BIS 3.0 Billing, and EDIFACT—all without having to change your usual invoicing workflows.

Creating e-invoices with Excel, Word, or other Office programs

Do you create your invoices using Excel, Word, Google Docs, Google Sheets, LibreOffice Writer, or Calc? With the Treesoft E-Invoice Toolkit, you can keep working the way you’re used to.

Create your invoice as usual and export it as a PDF. The Treesoft PDF2E Invoice Converter processes the invoice data based on a configuration tailored to your form and generates the invoice in the desired e-invoice format. The invoice is automatically validated and archived in compliance with GoBD. Our free invoice templates already include the appropriate configuration.

Your invoice template remains the same. The toolkit handles conversion, validation, and archiving.

Why a DATEV upload at a later time alone is not enough

An issued invoice must not be overwritten later without being noticed, and certainly not intentionally. The original content must be preserved, and any corrections must be traceable. This applies regardless of which program you use to create your invoices. Laws on the Internet

Even if your tax advisor uses DATEV: Proper document retention begins right in your company. Uploading documents later does not replace the timely retention of your original documents. However, a monthly exchange of documents is possible if the invoices have been properly saved and organized by that time. DATEV

For incoming e-invoices, the structured invoice data must be preserved intact in its original electronic form. A printout alone is not sufficient for this purpose. Federal Ministry of Finance

The Treesoft E-Invoice Toolkit handles archiving directly as part of the invoicing process. The invoices generated and imported using this tool are automatically stored in the local database in a format that cannot be altered. You can keep track of everything in the incoming and outgoing invoice ledgers.

You continue working as usual. The toolkit generates your e-invoices and archives them automatically—without the need to manually file each invoice separately.
