XRechnung Viewer – On-premises, GoBD-compliant archiving, and free forever

Treesoft XRechnung Viewer

The Treesoft XRechnung Viewer displays XRechnung and ZUGFeRD invoices in a readable format, automatically saves them to the file system upon request, and supports GoBD-compliant organization and archiving of incoming invoices.

The application is installed locally (on-premises), does not require a cloud connection, and can be used for free indefinitely.

Simply receiving an e-invoice isn’t enough—it must be processed in a structured manner

A mailbox is enough for receiving mail—but processing, storage, and audit trails require a structured system.

In practice, simply receiving an XRechnung is usually not enough to ensure orderly processing within a company.

To ensure proper processing, invoices must:

  • be filed in a way that is easy to understand
  • be available and readable at any time
  • can be analyzed in a structured manner

These requirements stem, among other things, from the GoBD.

The Treesoft XRechnung Viewer addresses this very issue and supports the structured organization of all incoming invoices.

Open XRechnung and display it legibly

XInvoices are transmitted as structured XML files in accordance with EN 16931 and cannot be read directly without special software.

The viewer allows you to:

  • Open XRechnung
  • View ZUGFeRD Invoices
  • Display structured XML data in a readable format
  • View required fields such as the routing ID
  • Review Invoice Line Items Transparent

This enables companies to view, verify, and organize received e-invoices in a structured manner.

BT Favorites – Targeted Review of Relevant Invoice Fields

With the Favorites tab, users can:

  • Define selected BT fields
  • Monitor critical values in a targeted manner
  • Determine specific areas of focus for the exam
  • speed up the audit process

This results in a real gain in efficiency, especially for accounting and tax consulting.

Sample View

Use the arrow buttons on the right and left edges of the preview pane to easily navigate through the individual pages of the open XRechnung or ZUGFeRD invoice.

Automatic filing with custom file naming

The viewer can automatically save incoming invoices.

In the Options dialog box, you can specify:

  • Destination directory for incoming invoices
  • File name patterns
  • Handling Special Characters
  • Write protection for archive files

File naming is based on the structured BT (Business Terms) fields of XRechnung.

Standard Template:

%YYYY-%MM-%DD %BT-27 %BT-112 %BT-5

Example:

March 1, 2026 Muster GmbH 14,458.50 EUR

This results in a transparent, consistent, and systematic filing structure.

In the Options dialog, you can customize the save path and filename pattern:

Options Dialog: Files » Incoming Invoices

GoBD-compliant Incoming Invoice Register

All archived invoices are also recorded in the integrated invoice register.

Advantages:

  • Traceable Documentation
  • Structured overview of all incoming invoices
  • Support for a GoBD-compliant organization
  • Transparency for Tax Advisors and Auditors

The combination of automatic filing, read-only GoBD-compliant archiving, and structured data capture ensures security in the invoice intake process.

Manually Entering Missing Invoice Information

Not every incoming invoice contains all the information needed for automatic file naming.

If certain data is missing from the XRechnung or ZUGFeRD invoice—or if only a PDF invoice is available—the required information can be added directly in the viewer.

In the “Outgoing Invoices” section, for example:

  • Invoice Date
  • Invoice Number
  • Company Name

Enter or correct manually.

The invoice is then archived with a single click according to the defined filing rules.

This ensures that incoming invoices are organized in a structured, traceable, and GoBD-compliant manner, even when they are incomplete or unstructured.
