You can change the e-invoice format (e.g. X-Rechnung or Factur-X) directly in the output settings of your document template in the DocumentBuilder. This is necessary when recipients, such as the Central E-Invoice Receipt Rhineland-Palatinate (RLP), require a specific format and reject the standard format (often Factur X-Basic).

Adjust format in DocumentBuilder

If an e-invoice is rejected because the format is not compliant (e.g. urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant#urn:factur-x.eu:1p0:basic instead of urn:xeinkauf.de:kosit:xrechnung_3.0), you need to adjust the setting in the document template used.

1. Navigate in your system to Setup > Documents > DocumentBuilder.
2. Search for the document template (e.g. your invoice template) that you use for these invoices.
3. Click on the settings gear (icon) next to the name of the template.
4. In the Output Settings pop-up, go to the Format Settings section.
5. Under XML Format you will find the settings for the e-invoice.
6. Select the format required by your recipient here (e.g. X-Rechnung).
7. Save the changes.

The next invoice created with this template will use the newly set format.
