Has anyone had any experience with ZUGFeRD format Invoices?

My understanding is that they are essentially PDF/A format documents but I am trying to find out whether IFS Operational Reporting can support them directly.

Hi,

 

The ZUGFeRD format integrates standardized invoice data in XML format into a PDF document (PDF/A-3 format). As far as I know IFS currently does not support the PDF/A-3 standard. This means that invoices in ZUGFeRD format cannot be generated from IFS. In general, we recommend using PDF/A 3rd party tools for the conversion, e.g. from PAGERO, with whom IFS has a global partnership.
