E-Invoice Validator

Based on the official KOSIT Validator

From 27 November 2020, invoices to German federal authorities must be transmitted electronically in XML format.

And you can send e-invoices to more and more state authorities and local authorities, as they either set up their own portals or connect to existing portals.

Electronic invoices (XRechnungen) can be checked here with the official Kosit Validator. This service can also be called via an API from your ERP.

If you not only want to validate e-invoices, but also visualise them, you can use our e-invoice viewer.

Did you know that you can create electronic invoices directly from SAP with our XRechnung and ZUGFeRD solution? Read more about this under e-invoicing in SAP.

Please note: XRechnung-Schema 3.0, which is valid from 1 February 2024, is used for the check.

Use your own XML invoices or use our demos (test invoice1 and test invoice2).

From XRechnung version 3.0, the UBL XML must begin with the following 3 elements:

  1. ubl:Invoice
  2. cbc:CustomizationID with the content urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant#urn:xeinkauf.de:kosit:xrechnung_3.0
  3. cbc:ProfileID (new!) with the content urn:fdc:peppol.eu:2017:poacc:billing:01:1.0

Advantages of validating e-invoices

Invalid invoices jeopardize the input tax deduction. Our validator ensures that all legally required information – such as the valid VAT number – is correct. This helps you avoid costly queries and financial disadvantages.

The validator checks all key invoice content: Do item prices, tax amounts and totals agree? Are the net and gross values consistent? Errors are detected immediately and can be corrected before dispatch or payment.

With formally correct e-invoices, you demonstrate reliability and act like a diligent businessman. Your company is perceived as a professional and trustworthy business partner – a clear plus for your image.

Incorrect invoices cause unnecessary work, delay payments and tie up resources. Automatic validation allows you to avoid returns and reworking – saving you time and money.

The better the data quality, the smoother the invoice exchange – both internally and externally. The Validator ensures that your e-invoices can be processed directly, which speeds up the entire process.

We provide 3 options for transmitting the E-Invoice to the XML Viewer and Validator:

Send XML files as an e-mail attachment to a defined e-mail address. The e-mail reply contains the HTML and PDF file as well as the validation check report (optional). Premium version only.
