This plugin turns any WooCommerce order into a structured invoice in the EN 16931 format— no external service, no account, no running costs. Everything happens on the shop’s own server. The interface and the generated documents are German, because the formats this plugin implements (XRechnung, the Leitweg-ID routing identifier, the BR-DE business rules) are the German national implementation of EN 16931. **What the plugin does** * Produces an **XRechnung** in UBL 2.1 from an order — the standard format for invoices to public authorities and large customers. * Produces, instead or in addition, the **UN/CEFACT CII syntax** used by ZUGFeRD and Factur-X. * Attaches the XML file to the WooCommerce invoice e-mail automatically. * Adds a **download button per format** to the order screen. * Collects the **Leitweg-ID** per order — at checkout, and editable afterwards on the order screen. * Collects the customer’s **VAT identification number** and derives reverse-charge cases from it. * **Validates before output** against the mandatory fields of EN 16931 and the German rule set (BR-DE), and says in plain language which field is missing and where to enter it. **What the plugin deliberately does not do** It does not create a PDF and does not embed anything into a PDF/A-3. A complete ZUGFeRD document is a PDF with embedded XML; this plugin delivers the XML. If you need a PDF, combine it with an invoice PDF plugin. **Conformance** The generated files are checked against the official KoSIT validator using the “ Validator Configuration XRechnung 3.0.2” configuration. All bundled test cases — standard invoice, small-business exemption, reverse charge, mixed tax rates, prepayment, minimal invoice — are rated ACCEPTABLE in both syntaxes. ## Screenshots [⌊Master data with a running check of the mandatory fields.⌉⌊Master data with a running check of the mandatory fields.⌉[ Master data with a running check of the mandatory fields.

Install and activate the plugin. WooCommerce has to be active. 2. Open **WooCommerce Settings E-Rechnung**. 3. Fill in the seller details under _Stammdaten_ (master data). The top of the page permanently lists the mandatory fields that are still missing. 4. Under _Ausgabe & Versand_ (output and delivery) choose the format and decide whether the XML file is attached to the invoice e-mail. 5. Place a test order and download the file from the _E-Rechnung_ box on the order screen. ## FAQ ### Do I need a VAT identification number? No. A tax number (BT-32) is enough. Businesses using the German small-business exemption enter their tax number and leave the VAT identification number empty. ### What is the Leitweg-ID and do I need it? The Leitweg-ID addresses an invoice at a German public authority, for example `04011000- 1234512345-06`. Authorities hand it out. For invoices to ordinary business customers the field is not needed — the plugin puts the order number in as the buyer reference instead. ### Why can’t I generate an invoice for an order? Then a mandatory field is missing. The _E-Rechnung_ box on the order screen names every missing entry together with its rule number, and links straight to the settings when the problem is in the master data. ### Does this work with the block checkout? Yes. The Leitweg-ID and the VAT identification number are registered for both the classic and the block checkout, and end up on the same order. ### Is HPOS supported? Yes, the WooCommerce order tables (High-Performance Order Storage) are supported. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Jojobry E-Rechnung for WooCommerce” is open source software.
