Accountable offers two options for sending e-invoices. One is XRechnung + ZUGFeRD and the other is PEPPOL.
To send XRechnungen or ZUGFeRD invoices, you can write your invoices as usual in Accountable. If you have not yet written an invoice with Accountable, take a look at this guide.
Once you have written your invoice, you have 2 options to continue:
1) Click on “Continue” in the top right corner
2) Select “Save & download XRechnung” or “Save & download ZUGFeRD”
You have now successfully downloaded your XRechnung/ZUGFeRD and can send it.
1) Click on “Continue” in the top right corner
2) Select “Save & prepare to send"
The following window will now open:
3) Enter the recipient (and adjust the text if necessary)
4) The ZUGFeRD e-invoice is automatically attached. In case you want to send the XRechnung, you can also easily add that one with one click on the "paper clip symbol" and select "add XRechnung".
5) Now you can either way send both e-invoices or delete the one you don't need. And with one click on “Send invoice” you e-inovice will be sent.
To register with PEPPOL and send e-invoices via PEPPOL, please go to Account -> Settings -> E-invoicing in the web version. Follow the instructions in the app.
You can of course also send invoices that you have written externally with Accountable in e-invoice format. This works as follows:
1) Click on Import invoice
2) Upload your invoice
3) Click on “Review now”)
4) Mark the invoice as “not sent” and check the encoded data
5) Click on the letter symbol here to “Send invoice”
6) Enter the recipient (and adjust the text if necessary) Now all you have to do is click on “Send invoice” (the X invoice is automatically attached)
E-invoices are becoming increasingly important and will soon be mandatory for you. But what exactly are e-invoices, what advantages do they offer and what legal requirements must be met?
Find out in this video as Tino, the founder of Accountable, explains it all.

This program is a lifesaver, and it is always improving. Plus, it has an AI chat feature that is actually useful.

The availability of your team to help and guide people to understand their finances better is what really makes Accountable valuable. While the AI is able to give answers to most basic questions, specific scenarios need counsel from a human which your team performs beautifully.

They always answer for questions wherever is via direct e-mail or through app. If they can’t answer fully they will forward you to the right place. Documents were always prepared well and ready to send further to government. Everything is intuitive in the app and easy to sort out even for someone completely green in this field.
