NG-4694

Ariba Network supports creating and processing of X-Rechnung invoices to address relevant German B2G regulations, if the buyer activates this feature. In this case, the X-Rechnung invoice issued in the Ariba Network shall constitute the legal invoice, whereas the cXML file is used only for data transfer and processing purposes. Both files are derived from the same data.

The X-Rechnung invoice is available under the Attachment(s) section. As the cXML does not constitute as a legal invoice (as compared to Ariba Network German invoice processing for German invoices), it will not be digitally signed.

Public buyers (or formerly state-owned companies) are required to support the receipt and processing of “X-Rechnung” invoices (UBL 2.1 syntax). Suppliers doing business with the before mentioned public entities are mandated to issue X- Rechnung. Buyers must also be able to handle X-Rechnung.

Once activated by German buyers, all invoices from German suppliers onboarded to the Ariba Network will be issued in X-Rechnung (UBL) format. That helps buyers and their suppliers using the Ariba Network to fulfil local German requirements.
