Edit XRechnung – Edit Individual Required Fields

Treesoft XRechnung Editor

Do you want to edit an existing XRechnung because a routing ID, an email address, or another required field is missing? Then the Treesoft XRechnung Editor is exactly the right tool for you. It opens existing XRechnungen in a human-readable, editable format so you can add missing information, correct individual fields, and neatly transfer existing information to the correct place.

Important when making technical changes:

The Treesoft XRechnung Editor is not intended to structurally reorganize or mathematically modify an existing invoice. If invoice amounts, discounts, surcharges, sales tax breakdowns, or line items need to be changed, Treesoft considers this not merely a correction of individual fields, but rather a new creation based on an existing XRechnung. In this case, you will automatically be redirected to the Treesoft XRechnung Creator.

The Treesoft XRechnung Editor is deliberately not a tool for creating new documents. It is a specialized tool for the targeted editing of existing XRechnungen within the Treesoft E-Rechnung Toolkit—installed locally and suitable for companies that want to continue using their existing processes.

What does an XRechnung editor do?

An XRechnung Editor is used to edit existing XRechnungen. That is exactly what the Treesoft XRechnung Editor is designed to do: open existing XRechnungen, fill in required fields, correct individual details, and make targeted adjustments to structured invoice data without having to rebuild the invoice from scratch.

That is precisely why a tool like this is so important today. As of January 1, 2025, for tax purposes, an invoice is considered an e-invoice only if it is issued, transmitted, and received in a structured electronic format and allows for electronic processing. A simple PDF is not sufficient for this purpose. Therefore, if information is missing or entered incorrectly, the structured invoice data must be edited in the appropriate place.

Typical Use Cases for Editing XRechnung Files

The Treesoft XRechnung Editor is ideal when the invoice already exists but certain details are missing or need to be corrected.

• Add the missing routing ID
• Add or correct your email address
• Transfer the seller's email address to the contact's email address
• Customize specific contact, reference, or address information
• Fill in the required fields without recreating the invoice

Important to note in practice: The routing ID is required for invoices sent to public sector clients, but is generally not required in the broader B2B sector. For invoices sent to the federal government, the invoicer’s email address is also required information.

What the Treesoft XRechnung Editor Deliberately Does Not Do

The Treesoft XRechnung Editor is not intended for creating new XRechnungen. Nor is it intended for changes that are essentially equivalent to creating a new document. If you edit individual items, or change or delete line items, the toolkit automatically switches to the Treesoft XRechnung Creator.

It is precisely this distinction that is important: As soon as a change turns into a new document, the process belongs in Treesoft XRechnung Creator. There, new XRechnungen are created manually or based on an existing XRechnung, automatically validated upon saving, and, if necessary, also issued as ZUGFeRD invoices.

Treesoft XRechnung Editor or Treesoft XRechnung Creator?

The distinction has been deliberately kept clear.

Treesoft XRechnung Editor

• for the targeted editing of existing XRechnungen
• to fill in any missing required fields
• to correct individual pieces of structured data

Treesoft XRechnung Creator

• for generating new X-invoices
• for further substantive changes involving a technical revision of the invoice
• for automatic validation and for output as an XRechnung or ZUGFeRD invoice

This makes the Editor the right tool for corrections and additions, while the Creator is responsible for creation and technical restructuring.

Why the Treesoft XRechnung Editor Delivers in Practice

Human-readable instead of XML lines: You don’t work directly with cryptic XML structures, but rather with a human-readable and editable representation of the existing XRechnung.

Targeted corrections instead of starting from scratch: If only a routing ID, an email address, or a single required field is missing, you don’t have to create a completely new invoice. You simply add exactly what’s missing.

Clear role differentiation within the team: Not every employee needs editing permissions. That’s exactly why this separation in the toolkit makes sense: use the Viewer to review, the Validator to check, the Editor to make specific corrections, and the Creator to generate new XRechnungen.

Installed locally instead of being forced into the cloud: The Treesoft E-Invoice Toolkit is designed to complement existing ERP, Office, or custom software processes locally, rather than replacing them with a browser-based tool.

Who the Treesoft XRechnung Editor Is Particularly Suited For

The Treesoft XRechnung Editor is particularly useful for companies that already work with existing XRechnungen and frequently need to correct or add individual details. This applies, for example, to suppliers of public-sector clients, teams in accounts receivable, companies with existing ERP or custom software, and anyone who wants to neatly edit structured e-invoices without having to generate a new invoice each time.
