How It Works

From upload to verdict in three steps.

Step 1

Drop In the File

Drag the Order-X PDF or the order XML into the box; sign in to check up to 100 files in one go.

Step 2

Schema & Business Rules

The profile's schema runs first, the official business rules second, the same order a receiving system checks in.

Step 3

Get Your Report

Read the verdict with every finding spelled out, and keep a PDF report when you need the paper trail.

What this Order-X check catches

Find the problems before your supplier's ERP does, or before you import a customer's order into yours.

PDF and XML Both Welcome

Hand over the Order-X PDF as received and we pull the order-x.xml out of it ourselves; a bare Cross-Industry Order XML works just as well.

The Same Checks the Recipient Runs

Schema and business rules come straight from the official Order-X 1.0 publication by FeRD and FNFE-MPE, so a pass here means a pass on the receiving side.

Profile Read from the File

BASIC, COMFORT, or EXTENDED: the file itself declares which profile it claims, and the validator holds it to exactly that claim.

Findings You Can Act On

Each finding names the rule and the spot in the XML that trips it, and the verdict is downloadable as a PDF report for your records.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions German businesses ask about checking Order-X files.

Against the Order-X 1.0 publication from FeRD (the forum behind ZUGFeRD) and FNFE-MPE: the UN/CEFACT Cross-Industry Order schema in its profile-restricted form, plus the profile's rule set for required elements, cardinalities, and code lists.
Yes, and that is the normal case: an Order-X file travels as a hybrid PDF/A-3 with the order XML attached inside as order-x.xml. We open the PDF, pull the attachment, and validate it; a standalone XML upload works too.
BASIC, COMFORT, and EXTENDED are all covered. The validator applies whichever profile the file declares; if the declaration is unrecognisable it falls back to COMFORT and says so in the report.
Errors block: the file is not Order-X conformant and an ERP on the receiving end may refuse or misinterpret it. Warnings advise: worth fixing, but the file still passes. A clean pass with warnings is possible; a pass with errors is not.
The report names every broken rule and where in the XML it broke, precise enough to hand to whoever produced the file, whether that is your Warenwirtschaft, another tool, or our own Order-X generator.
Yes: one file per run inside the free daily allowance. Premium removes the caps and adds batch runs of up to 100 files.
GoBD Archive

Receiving e-invoices? You must archive them properly.

Since 2015, the GoBD, the tax office's rules for digital records, have applied to every business, freelancers included: digital invoices must be kept as the original file, unchanged, exportable and readable for the whole 8-year retention period. With the e-invoicing mandate a print no longer counts. Our archive takes care of it for you.

  • Every invoice stored exactly as it arrived: XML, PDF or photo
  • Locked against changes, so nothing can be altered afterwards
  • A second copy in another German data centre
  • Find any invoice by date and export it with an index for your tax advisor
  • Team access: several team members can work in the same archive
  • No ERP, no installation: right next to your e-invoicing tools
