DETEC Introduces DoXite 9.1 with Advanced Electronic Invoicing Features

DETEC, a leading provider of document-based corporate communication solutions, has unveiled version 9.1 of its DoXite software. DoXite is a powerful document composition product that enables flexible and automated design, production, distribution, and archiving of digital and printed business documents.

Enhanced Electronic Invoicing Capabilities with XML

DoXite facilitates streamlined electronic business transactions through the exchange of machine-readable XML formats between companies. It allows the conversion of data or document content into customized XML formats, enabling seamless integration with business applications and eliminating the need for manual data entry.

DoXite 9.1 supports XRechnung 2.2.0, which has been mandatory for sending invoices to German public-sector customers since August 1st, 2022. It also adheres to the Factur-X and ZUGFeRD standards, meeting the latest European Union requirements for electronic invoicing. These standards define specific XML data exchange formats that facilitate seamless commerce between organizations.

The latest version of XRechnung introduces the requirement for a valid telephone number and email address to ensure direct contact with the responsible person in case of invoice-related issues. DoXite’s validator feature ensures compliance with these new rules, guaranteeing that documents conform to the latest XRechnung standard.

Efficient XRechnung-compliant Invoicing and Multiple Formats

DoXite Release 9.1 introduces a new eDocument driver that enables the instant generation of XRechnung-compliant XML data without the need to create a PDF document first. This reduces the effort required to produce invoices to a minimum and significantly improves performance. Additionally, a single document layout can now define multiple electronic invoicing formats, including XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, and Factur-X. Conditions can be set to determine which format is produced based on specific cases, eliminating the need for separate document layouts for each standard. This enhanced flexibility enables compliance with all standards using a single invoice definition.

Carsten Owerfeldt, Head of Development at DETEC, commented, “This new version of DoXite empowers our customers to effortlessly comply with the EU directive for electronic invoicing while minimizing administrative efforts.”

Improved XFA Forms in DoXite

DoXite’s Document Styler enables organizations to design document layouts by positioning variable XML data accurately. With DoXite 9.1, forms can now be imported from Adobe LiveCycle Designer via XFA (Adobe’s XML Forms Architecture). Once imported, extended functionality is available, allowing the definition of different layouts for various pages within a single document. Furthermore, content can be presented in nested tables with fully automated pagination, surpassing the capabilities of Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

The release of DoXite 9.1 showcases DETEC’s commitment to providing advanced document composition solutions that streamline business processes and enhance efficiency in electronic invoicing.
