ZUGFeRD: Emerging Standard for Automated Invoicing

Summary:

In this article we take a look at an EDI standard identified by the acronym "ZUGFeRD" which is an emerging set of rules for the creation of an invoice document in PDF format but containing embedded data used for automatic processing.

The Current State of Invoice Creation and Payment:

These days fewer and fewer companies generate invoices by manual means.  Most invoices are generated through the use of an accounting or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.  Invoices are printed and mailed or else saved in a common electronic format such as a PDF which may be e-mailed.  Some companies utilize something called Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to send and receive invoices as well as many types of documents including purchase orders and shipping notes.  Standard electronic formats (rules) for EDI have been developed including the international “UN/EDIFACT” standard as well as other standards including the one that is most widely used in North America which is called “ANSI ASC X12” or just “X12.”  EDI typically provides for the transfer of the very same information that would appear in paper documents. Because the information is sent and received electronically, EDI provides a means of eliminating the manual processing steps for each of the documents for which it has been implemented.  It allows companies to operate as efficiently as possible and to implement strategies such as “just in time” inventory control that would be impossible without a fully automated ordering system. EDI isn’t for everyone though because it requires a company’s customers and suppliers to also adopt it.  EDI can also be difficult, time consuming, and expensive to implement. In addition, EDI is often only implemented for a portion of a company’s documents.
