Efsta EFR API solutions for B2B and B2G
As the e-invoicing functionality is part of systems with different architectures, it is implemented in the existing EFR middleware, which can be operated locally (e.g. POS system), on site with multiple clients, centralized (ERP) or as a service in the cloud. The EFR is embedded in the efsta ecosystem to enable secure data processing and transmission, long-term archiving and system administration via the efsta cloud portal.
The use of the fiscalization and e-invoicing modules is not mutually exclusive. For example, a legally fiscalized invoice can be used in parallel on a POS system; the common tool for monitoring is the efsta portal.
From January 1, 2025, the basic obligation to use e-invoices will come into force in Germany. In order to facilitate the transition for companies, flexible transitional arrangements are planned until 2027.
Issuing invoices:
Untilthe end of 2026, companies may continue to issue paper invoices for B2B sales instead of e-invoices. Electronic invoices that do not comply with the new format are permitted, but only with the recipient's consent.
Until the end of 2027 , companies with a previous year's turnover of up to EUR 800,000 may continue to use paper invoices or other electronic formats.
Receiving invoices:
From 1 January 2025, all companies are obliged to be able to receive and process e-invoices. The transitional regulations only affect the issuing, not the receipt of invoices.
In Italy, electronic B2B invoicing via the SDI system (Sistema di Interscambio) has been mandatory since 2019. This procedure ensures that invoices are issued, transmitted and received in a structured data format, which enables automatic and electronic processing in accordance with Italian regulations.
