# Automatic e-invoice identification

The new identification of e-invoice formats is the next step in automation, along with processing central UBL/CII e-invoice formats with a single standard configuration, a feature that was already released in January 2025. DocuWare now also automatically recognizes and processes e-invoices in formats that are not UBL/CII-based. E-invoices in any international format can be sent to a universal e-invoice mailbox having just one folder. You only need to create a processing configuration once for each single invoice format.

UBL/CII formats such as XRechnung can continue to be handled together in one configuration.

**Components**: DocuWare Cloud, DocuWare on-premises, Connect to Mail

Application

- Your company receives e-invoices from Germany, Spain, Italy and Poland. Therefore it has to deal with the formats XRechnung, FacturaE, FatturaPA, and KSeF. Since the first two e-invoice formats are UBL-based, you create a single configuration for both of them. For each of the other two formats, Italian and Polish, you create a specific configuration. Based on the set of configurations, all incoming e-invoices will be automatically identified and processed.

Benefits

- Process many different invoice formats with ease
- Also use automatic identification for other UTF-8 based XML documents such as delivery notes
- Further automation
