ZUGFeRD-Composer History

In addition to a few new BT fields, Composer now supports automatic ZUGFeRD validation of the generated XRechnung with the Kosit validator.

KoSIT validation is a testing procedure carried out by the Coordination Office for IT Standards (KoSIT).

Simply use the /v option and, if necessary, add /vH for a report in HTML format.

All examples with macros include an automatic call. If the validator reports an error, the Composer also generates a corresponding error.

Please note that the call may take some time.

As a reminder

ZUGFeRD Composer is a command line tool that can be used to create valid digital invoices in XRechnung or ZUGFeRD format from text files.

The composer could be used for:

  • In Word-, Excel- and LibreOffice macros to extract the text contained and call up the Composer
  • Print the documents (including mixed Word/Excel documents) on a PrintMulti printer (XRechnung in the example). In most cases, PrintMulti can extract the text and also create a PDF in ZUGFeRD format.
  • If an application can copy the invoice text to the clipboard in a meaningful way, it is also possible to use the Composer.
