Test XML Output

With eDocuments, it is possible to create custom XML files. For the XRechnung and ZUGFeRD formats, an additional Test Output function is available. This function allows you to validate the generated XML file against the corresponding eDocuments schema. This makes it possible to verify whether the XML is complete and formally correct.

Test Output

The following steps must be carried out to test the XML file:

  1. Open the eDocuments Schema list via the search bar.
  2. Select the desired eDocuments Schema.
  3. Click on the schema to open the detail view.
  4. Switch to the Data tab.
  5. Click on Test Output.
  6. Select a sample business document that you want to validate.
  7. Confirm by clicking OK.

Validation Result

After successful validation, the result is displayed along with an integrated XML Preview, allowing you to directly view the generated XML file.

The validation result shows:

  • How many rules were checked,
  • Whether the XML file is valid or invalid,
  • Which rules may have failed (including rule ID and error message),
  • How long the validation took.

Both the XML file and the validation result can then be exported via the Download tab.
