Import eInvoice Germany (xRechnung) - Import destination should be ´Invoice journal´ instead of ´Pending invoices´.

Pending vendor invoices:

Usually only vendor invoices that have inventory postings, which are purchase order-related, appear here. Non-purchase order-related invoices have never appeared here before, but are also imported here when the eInvoice is imported, which leads to many problems.

(disadvantages/problems)

• Only invoices with inventory reference can be posted there, so that we can pull the product receipts from the related purchase order. No posting of non purchase order related invoices possible.
• This form is not suitable for current incoming invoices, as it is not possible to make tax accruals and deferrals there.

Proposed solution: Use ´Invoice journal´ as import destination for eInvoice (xRechnung)

Invoice journal:

• All vendor invoices (with or without purchase order reference) can be edited and posted here.
• Tax deferrals according to German law are possible.
• Invoices can be deferred over a longer period / different financial years.
• The costs can be distributed over the months (G/L account accruals/deferrals).
• Add meaningful descriptions that are subsequently visible in the ´Voucher transactions´ and ´Trial balance´ are possible to add here.
• This is important because auditors or tax consultants will want to see this and the finance department must also be able to check and reconcile the accounts.
