Know which partners are ready for the German e-invoice mandate
A readiness profile per customer and vendor, the routing data that is missing, follow-up tasks and the mandate deadlines
Since 2025 every German business must be able to receive e-invoices, and issuing becomes mandatory in 2027 and 2028. The app scans your customers and vendors, keeps one readiness profile per partner, scores it, names what is missing (Leitweg-ID, buyer reference, inbox, capability) and turns the gaps into tasks.
Key features
Scan partners
Creates a profile for every customer and vendor (or only one side), takes Leitweg-ID, buyer reference, inbox e-mail and Peppol ID from the contact, and can leave existing profiles untouched.
Score by relationship
A customer is scored on whether it can receive your e-invoices, a vendor on whether it sends them, a partner who is both on both; plus the format (XRechnung or ZUGFeRD) and the routing data.
Public bodies
For a public-sector customer the Leitweg-ID and the buyer reference are required instead of an inbox.
Missing data in words
Each profile lists exactly what is missing and shows Ready, Partially ready or Not ready.
Follow-up tasks
One click or a weekly job creates the tasks for every gap (ask capability, request Leitweg-ID, buyer reference or inbox, confirm format) with a due date and owner, without duplicates.
Cockpit
Profiles per status, the share that is ready, the next mandate deadline with the days remaining and the least prepared partners.
Mandate timeline
The receive obligation of 2025 and the issuing deadlines of 2027 and 2028 with their legal reference and a live countdown.
Sync with the contact
Routing data can be pulled from or pushed back to the partner record.

Use cases
✓ Accounting sees before 2027 which customers cannot receive an e-invoice yet.
✓ Purchasing knows which vendors still send paper or plain PDF.
✓ The open data requests are worked off as tasks instead of a spreadsheet.
Why this app
✓ Customers and vendors are judged on what matters for each side.
✓ The gaps are named per partner and become tasks automatically.
✓ Public bodies get their own rule (Leitweg-ID).
