Create any XML format directly with InterForm
Interform converts output from ERP systems and other business applications into any structured XML format. You can create your own XML formats or import an existing XML file and map your data directly to the required tags.
For electronic invoicing, many countries use their own mandatory formats. Interform makes it easy to create, manage, and validate all of them in one place.
With Interform Output Management, you can treat XML formats just like traditional output types—design, enrich, validate, and distribute them as part of the same workflow. XML workflows are often cheaper, faster, and more flexible than paper- or PDF-based processes.
Interform also allows you to combine printing, PDF, emailing, and XML within a single workflow.
Transformation designer
Design transformations without programming. Creating XML often requires transforming incoming data into the correct structure. Instead of programming text-based XSL stylesheets, Interform provides a built-in Transformation designer that lets you build transformations visually. With the Transformation designer, you can:
Several official transformations are already available (e.g., ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, PEPPOL BIS), helping you get started quickly.
Examples of different XML formats
Interform XML Features
Work with familiar technology
Upload the XML format description and use it as a reference when designing your XML templates according to the required standard.
Enrich content and reformat
Standard invoice data may not always include all the fields required by XML invoice standards. Interform allows you to enrich and restructure content using:
This lets you create precise XML output even when upstream data is incomplete.
Validation
Using the built-in validator, you can validate XML output using industry standards such as XSD or XSL. This ensures only qualified and compliant data is sent to the receiver.
XRechnung and ZUGFeRD support
Interform allows you to map data to the structure required for German XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats. These formats often require embedding the XML file inside a PDF/A document so it can be both viewed and processed automatically.
