Current status
List & Label offers the option of creating ZUGFeRD-compliant PDF documents up to ZUGFeRD version 2.1. The creation of PDF documents for ZUGFeRD versions 2.2 and 2.3 is unfortunately not yet possible due to the PDF component currently used.
Note: This does not affect X-Rechnung in versions 2.2 and 2.3. These can also be used with ZUGFeRD version 2.1, so that the current solution can also be used with the current standards.
Support for ZUGFeRD versions 2.2 and 2.3
However, if your application is dependent on ZUGFeRD versions 2.2 or 2.3, the Mustang project is an alternative. It enables PDF documents to be converted into electronic invoices of ZUGFeRD versions 2.2 and 2.3 retrospectively, i.e. after export with List & Label.
Conversion
This subsequent merging of an existing PDF document exported with List & Label with a ZUGFeRD XML file can be carried out with Mustang using the command line below. The ZUGFeRD version, profile, input PDF etc. can be defined. Please note that Java must be installed.
Example:
--action combine --source invoice.pdf --source-xml zugferd-invoice.xml --out invoice_zf.pdf --format zf --version 2 --profile E --no-additional-attachments
