MDP’s Germany e-invoicing solution enables businesses to issue and receive structured electronic invoices directly within SAP. Invoice exchange takes place through email, API or Peppol, while the central SAP cockpit provides visibility into the available processing and transmission statuses.

Compatible with SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA ve SAP R/3.
MDP Group is a certified Peppol Access Point Service Provider.
The add-on creates outgoing invoices, processes incoming invoices and transfers invoice data to the integration platform.
Your invoices contain sensitive pricing, customer and business information. With MDP Integration Platform, data processing and format conversion take place on your own servers or in your private cloud.
Local processing comes built into the solution. If you do not have a suitable integration platform, MDP Integration Platform is included for your e-invoicing processes at no additional platform licence cost.
The e-invoicing cockpit brings together incoming invoices, outgoing invoices and available processing statuses. Business teams can select documents, review invoice data and follow transmission progress within SAP.
The invoice format and transmission channel are determined by your business partners’ requirements.
A structured XML e‑invoice format.
A hybrid invoice format combining a PDF/A‑3 file with embedded XML data.
Peppol is the delivery network, while Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 defines an invoice specification used for exchange through that network.
Since January 1, 2025, businesses established in Germany have been required to be able to receive e-invoices. Transitional periods apply to the obligation to issue e-invoices, particularly depending on the invoice issuer’s turnover in the previous year.
January 1, 2025
The obligation for businesses established in Germany to be able to receive structured e-invoices took effect.
January 1, 2027
For domestic B2B transactions in Germany, businesses with a previous-year turnover exceeding €800,000 are generally required to issue structured e-invoices.
January 1, 2028
The turnover-based transitional period will end, and the obligation to issue e-invoices will generally also apply to businesses with a previous-year turnover of €800,000 or less.
The project begins with a review of the SAP systems, legal entities and invoice types to be connected. Existing integration platforms and delivery channels are assessed as part of the same process.
We review your invoice data and define the required mappings, formats and workflows together with your team.
The agreed processes are configured and tested using representative invoice scenarios, including the available technical responses.
Following successful testing and your approval, the solution moves into production. Your project includes a timeline and scope of services tailored to the agreed requirements.
MDP Group works with your business and IT teams to define an e-invoicing architecture that fits your SAP landscape and data processing requirements. A dedicated demo shows how the solution supports invoice processing, transmission and monitoring within SAP.
MDP Germany e‑Invoice Solution supports XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. The appropriate format is determined based on the invoice recipient's requirements and the intended transmission method.
Invoices can be sent via e‑mail, API, or Peppol. The most suitable method is determined based on the relevant business partner and process requirements.
The solution is compatible with SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP R/3. The implementation scope is evaluated in advance based on your existing SAP system infrastructure and invoicing processes.
No. Peppol is one of several available e‑invoice transmission methods. Germany's B2B e‑invoicing mandate does not currently require a single standardized transmission method.
A standard PDF without structured invoice data does not meet the definition of an e‑invoice applicable in Germany since 2025. Hybrid formats such as ZUGFeRD contain structured XML data in addition to the PDF document. Whether these formats meet e‑invoicing requirements depends on the version and profile used.
