With the release of ecoDMS 24.02 (burns), ecoDMS GmbH presents the latest version of its document management system. The update includes features that enable the automatic processing and legally compliant archiving of e-invoices. From the easy import feature to automatic conversion, secure archiving, and comprehensive quality control, e-invoices can be optimally processed with ecoDMS.

The key innovations at a glance:

Automatic Processing of E-Invoices

E-invoices are a central part of the digital transformation in accounting. ecoDMS enables the automatic processing of XInvoices and ZUGFeRD documents from various sources. These can be easily imported into the document management system, converted, and archived via the usual archiving features (for example: desktop client, web client, scan input directory, side panel).

Support for Common E-Invoice Formats

ecoDMS 24.02 (burns) supports a variety of e-invoice formats, including UBL Invoice, XInvoice, ZUGFeRD, and Peppol BIS 3. These formats are processed according to European standards and archived in a legally compliant manner with all required information.

Automatic Conversion to Readable PDF Format

XML-based invoices are automatically converted into readable PDF files. This not only simplifies archiving but also provides a user-friendly view of the invoices.

Validation Report for Quality Control and Transparent Status Display

A detailed validation report is created for each processed e-invoice, checking data quality and highlighting possible errors or warnings. The new version also provides a transparent status display that allows users to quickly identify the validation status of documents at a glance. Thanks to color coding, the status of each file is clearly and understandably displayed:

  • Green: The file meets the requirements and can be accepted.
  • Yellow: Warnings present; ecoDMS recommends a review.
  • Red: Errors detected; the file should not be accepted.

Automatic Classification and Archiving

ecoDMS users can create custom rules in the template designer to automatically recognize and archive documents such as invoices, contracts, or delivery notes. ecoDMS 24.02 (burns) also recognizes classification templates embedded in e-invoices, categorizing these documents autonomously and correctly archiving them.

Inbox Feature for Improved Document Management

The new feature also allows e-invoices to be checked and validated directly in the inbox. The validation results are displayed using color codes (green, yellow, or red), so users immediately know whether an invoice meets the requirements or needs review.

Legally Compliant Archiving and Export Feature

The XML files and validation reports are directly integrated as attachments into the PDF invoice. All archived documents are accessible anytime via the user-friendly ecoDMS interface. Users can view the PDF invoice, which contains the embedded attachments (XML and validation report) as well as the original file.

When the table entry in ecoDMS is expanded, the attachments (validation report in HTML format and the XML file of the e-invoice) appear as separate files. Additionally, ecoDMS offers the option to retrieve the original file, such as the original XML file for XInvoices or the PDF file for ZUGFeRD invoices, through version control at any time.

If desired, users can also send or export the readable PDFs of the e-invoices, including the embedded attachments, via email or directly from ecoDMS as usual. Additionally, the latest ecoDMS release introduces a new export feature for original files, allowing users to specifically export the originals such as archived ZUGFeRD and XRechnung documents via the context menu.
