What the green tick means

Green tick: no errors within the scope checked. Text matching is separate; no approval for tax purposes.

ZUGFeRD validation view with a green check: no technical errors within the checked scope; separately, 37 of 39 text search values found.

Technical checks run locally using XML schemas, the official EN 16931 1.3.17 and XRechnung-Schematron 2.6.0 rules, and additional plausibility checks. For ZUGFeRD PDFs, selected PDF/A-3 requirements, metadata and XML embedding are also checked; this is not a full veraPDF validation. Errors and notices include location references. The result does not constitute approval for tax purposes. The application is not a certified validator and does not replace tax or legal advice.

Match ZUGFeRD invoice values

The automatic ZUGFeRD comparison searches the extractable PDF text for XML values such as invoice number, date, amounts and IBAN. It highlights matches and lists values not found. The PDF and XML rendering appear side by side; separate files can also be opened together. A green tick for the technical check means “No errors within the scope checked”. Text matching produces a separate result and may still flag values not found. Even a 100% text match rate does not establish complete content or visual agreement.

ZUGFeRD text comparison with a 95 percent match rate: 37 of 39 values found, with missing values marked in the table.
