Getting started with XSD by Simova

XSD by Simova is an extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that allows you to deliver your business documents in an automated or triggered process. It's a part of the EDS by Simova extension with the possibility to send notifications. Currently, you can compose two different types of formats. On the one site the XInvoice format and on the other site the ZUGFeRD format.

XSD by Simova is already integrated into the standard process of Business Central and can be easily integrated into other processes or industry solutions.
