NEW feature: create an e-Invoice via API

- One minute read - 160 words

The e-invoice is a new feature in sevdesk, which allows you to send invoices to your customers in a digital way.

How to create an e-Invoice via the sevdesk public API:
To turn an invoice into an e-invoice, you have to set propertyIsEInvoice to true

When propertyIsEInvoice is set an XML is embedded inside the PDF. Embedding the XML into the PDF is called ZUGFeRD.

If you just need the XML (XRechnung) you can get it by calling /Invoice/{id}/getXml. Both XML files are identical.

To create a valid e-invoice some extra data is required:

sevClient
  • addressStreet
  • addressZip
  • addressCity
  • bankIban
  • bankBic
  • contactEmail
  • contactPhone
  • taxNumber

invoice
  • paymentMethod
  • addressStreet
  • addressZip
  • addressCity
  • addressCountry

Affected endpoint:In order to get the XML representation of an e-Invoice, this new endpoint has to be called with the invoiceId: /Invoice/{invoiceId}/getXml

Affected customers: The described functionality is only available to customers on system version 2.0
