E-Invoice Viewer for Business Central

📢 New #bcopensource App for Business Central: E-Invoice Viewer

Ever opened an XRechnung XML file from a German supplier and thought,
"How on earth am I supposed to read this?" 😅

We get it – XML isn’t made for humans.

That’s why we built the E-Invoice Viewer, our newest open-source app for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

💡 The Challenge

Germany’s XRechnung standard contains far more than just invoice totals – it’s detailed, complex, and not human-readable by default.

See how a xml invoice could look like by using the python script: See how a xml invoice could look like

💪 The Solution

With the E-Invoice Viewer, you can now:

  • Extend the viewer to support additional e-invoice formats for the #bccommunity
  • Automatically create a corresponding PDF attachment when uploading XML files into Incoming Documents
  • Generate a PDF preview instantly via the E-Invoice Viewer Report in Business Central
  • Convert multiple XML files in one go using the included Python script

No external tools. No manual copy-paste.
Just clear visibility – right where your finance and accounting teams already work.

Use incoming documents to validate the xrechnung xml file: Use incoming documents to validate the xrechnung xml file

After loading the xml file, our extension generates the pdf file for better visualization: After loading the xml file, our extension generates the pdf file for better visualization

And now the preview of the pdf file in Business Central: And now the preview of the pdf file in Business Central

🧠 Why it matters Simplify compliance, transparency, and document handling.
Whether you’re processing a single supplier invoice or a batch of hundreds, you’ll never have to open XML code again.
