XRechnung in UBL or CII, Peppol BIS Billing, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, as XML files or PDFs with the XML attached. Invoices and credit notes.
Lines, discounts, VAT by rate, totals and the amount due added up again, and the IBAN's check digits tested, so a typo or a swapped account stands out.
A clear PDF to file or forward, and every invoice you open on one spreadsheet with all the lines, ready for your bookkeeping.
