e-Invoice template designer for XRechnung, Peppol and EN 16931

Q: Why does an XRechnung or Peppol invoice need a template?

XRechnung and Peppol BIS invoices are pure XML. People still need to read, approve and archive them, so an XSLT stylesheet turns the XML into a readable, branded HTML or printable view.

Q: Do I need to know XSLT?

No. In edXdocu you pick a ready-made template and customise it in a drag-and-drop editor; the XSLT is generated for you.

Structured e-invoices such as XRechnung and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 are XML files. Machines read them easily, people do not. An XSLT stylesheet turns that XML into a clear, branded invoice your customers and accountants can read, approve and print. edXdocu lets you design that layout without writing a line of XSLT.

Why your e-invoices need a readable layout

Approval workflows: Accounts-payable teams still look at the invoice before paying it.
Branding: Your logo, colours and bank details appear on every invoice, wherever it is opened.
Fewer queries: Clear totals, VAT breakdown, payment terms and IBAN mean faster payment.
Archiving and print: A consistent A4 view for audits and customers who still print.
