The transmission method: Manual upload

Here you will find information on how to use the invoice submission portal OZG-RE to submit existing e-invoices created in the XRechnung standard. This is known as the upload method as it relies on uploading invoices created in external systems.

Manual upload

After signing into the federal invoice submission portal OZG-RE, you can upload e-invoices that you have created using an external system and submit them to your invoice recipient.

The web submission method and the upload method are recommended if you do not have your own software for creating e-invoices or do not need to submit large numbers of e-invoices.

Manual upload in the OZG‑RE

In the OZG-RE, you can submit e-invoices created in XRechnung standard by clicking the “Start” button in the box titled “Submit externally created invoice”.
