Create E-Invoices

Create new invoices and recurring invoices according to the EN 16931 standard in minutes, including per-line tax logic, recipient defaults, attachments, and a custom PDF as the invoice base.

Intelligent Recipient & Master Data Management

Select your clients and business partners instantly from your saved contacts. In the background, Billance automatically validates all mandatory fields for e-invoicing – such as the Leitweg-ID (routing ID), electronic address, and VAT ID of the recipient. This ensures your e-invoice (complying with the EN 16931 standard) is complete and error-free when delivered. Use the invoice designer to customize the visual layout. No manual re-entry, no risk of formal errors.

Flexible VAT & Tax Rules per Line Item

Correct tax treatment is key to a legally compliant e-invoice. With Billance, you can easily define tax rates, exemptions, and the required legal codes (such as Reverse Charge or tax-free intra-Community deliveries) at the product level. All tax-relevant details are automatically translated into the required XML schema, ensuring that tax authorities and invoice recipients can parse your tax logic instantly.

Directly Visible BT Numbers for Maximum Transparency

To guarantee absolute compliance with the European e-invoicing standard EN 16931, Billance makes the underlying data structure transparent. With a simple click on an input field or its label, you immediately see the corresponding standardized Business Term (BT) number (e.g., BT-81 for the payment method). This gives you clear guidance on where each mandatory piece of information belongs, helping you answer queries from authorities or corporate clients accurately.

Live PDF Preview and Flexible Generation Options

Inspect your e-invoice before sending it with the integrated real-time preview. Choose your preferred design in the invoice designer, customize the invoice language, and control key output options like embedding attachments or using a custom PDF layout as letterhead. Billance automatically generates the legally compliant hybrid format containing both the human-readable PDF and the machine-readable XML (ZUGFeRD/XRechnung) according to the latest legal requirements.
