As of 1 January 2025, eInvoicing becomes the default method to issue invoices in Germany. SAP Business ByDesign already supports the exchange of electronic customer invoices and supplier invoices.      
More details on the sending of eInvoices (customer invoices) can be found in

SAP Business ByDesign supports three different options on how to receive e-invoices (supplier invoices).

  • Option 1: Use the standard SOAP service Manage Supplier Invoice In .
  • Option 2: Manual upload of SIV into SAP ByD leveraging transformation IDs.
  • Option 3: Automated upload of SIV into SAP ByD leveraging transformation IDs.

But for options 2 and 3 you need to maintain an XSLT file that translates the received einvoice into a format that is understandable for SAP Business ByDesign.     

Attached to this blog you will find an XSLT template that supports the Germand xRechnung UBL format and can be used immediately.  
The following invoice fields are mapped in the XSLT template.

The fields marked with an asterix are mandatory fields for creating a simple supplier invoice in SAP Business ByDesign.

In addition, you find an XSLT template that supports the cross industry CII format and can also be used out the box.
The following invoice fields are mapped in this XSLT template.

IMPORTANT: You have to change the file type to .xslt before you can use it. 

DISCLAIMER: As these templates are only an example it might be necessary to adapt the templates to individual customer/supplier requirements.        

Take a look in this blog if you want to know how to maintain the XLT file in SAP Business ByDesign.
