The ZUGFeRD Principle, Applied to Ordering
What ZUGFeRD did for invoices, Order-X does for purchase orders: a normal-looking PDF with machine-readable data inside.
One File, Two Audiences
Your supplier reads the PDF/A-3; their ERP reads the order-x.xml embedded inside it. Nobody retypes anything.
Checked Before It Leaves Your Browser
The file runs through the official Order-X 1.0 schema and business rules before the download starts, so it imports cleanly on the other side.
German VAT Rates Built In
Pick 19%, 7%, or exempt per ordered line and watch the net totals, tax groups, and order total keep themselves consistent.
Delivery Date as Structured Data
The requested delivery date is written into the order XML itself, so the supplier's system schedules it rather than someone reading it off a printout.
How It Works
Three screens between you and a compliant digital purchase order.
You and Your Supplier
Enter your company as the ordering party and the supplier you are buying from, plus a delivery date if one matters.
List What You Are Ordering
Add the items with quantities, unit prices, and VAT rates; the order total follows along.
Generate & Download
Check the summary and download the finished Order-X file, a PDF/A-3 carrying the order XML.
