ZUGFeRD SSRS Export for Dynamics 365 Finance
ZUGFeRD Invoices via SSRS in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance - Fast, Simple, Compliant
Maximize the potential of your SQL Server Reporting Services engine (SSRS): Our extension seamlessly converts existing invoice layouts in Dynamics 365 Finance into legally compliant ZUGFeRD e-invoices. Save yourself the time-consuming conversion of existing SSRS reports to electronic reporting and instead rely on a solution that integrates directly into your processes without complex adjustments.
The result is a ready-to-use, legally compliant ZUGFeRD document suitable both for visual display (PDF) and automated digital processing.
Why an Extension Is Necessary?
Many companies in Germany are now required to support ZUGFeRD or XRechnung.
However, Dynamics 365 Finance has technical limitations:
- Electronic Reporting generates XML and PDF separately → not ZUGFeRD-compliant
- SSRS generates only PDF → no XML, not machine-readable
- No native support for PDF/A-3 + CII XML
- No option to combine PDF + XML within SSRS
As a result, companies using SSRS-based invoices cannot achieve full e-invoicing compliance.

How Do the Output Formats Work?
In Dynamics 365 Finance, there are two standard output methods:
- Electronic Reporting (ER) → generates XML / XRechnung
(machine-readable, no PDF) SSRS Reporting → generates PDF
(human-readable, but without XML)
These standard formats do not meet ZUGFeRD requirements, as Microsoft does not provide native support for combining PDF + XML.
Available Approaches:
The diagram illustrates three available approaches:
- Microsoft Standard → No ZUGFeRD support
- Dynamity Add-on → ZUGFeRD directly from SSRS (unique solution)
ER-Consult → ZUGFeRD via Electronic Reporting (ER)
Only Dynamity enables ZUGFeRD via SSRS, which is ideal for companies that want to retain their existing SSRS layouts.

FAQ
Does the add-on work with existing SSRS invoice customizations?
Yes. The add-on has been specifically designed to work with existing SSRS layouts. There is no need for redesign or migration to Electronic Reporting.
Which ZUGFeRD version is supported?
The add-on supports ZUGFeRD 2.x (including version 2.3), which is fully compatible with Factur-X 1.07.x , the French equivalent of the same standard.
Are both sales invoices and free text invoices supported?
Yes. Both document types are supported and can be configured independently, either per customer or globally per legal entity.
What XML format is embedded in the PDF?
The embedded XML uses the CII (Cross Industry Invoice) format, which is the required format for ZUGFeRD 2.x and ensures compliance with the EN 16931 standard.
How does the add-on relate to the ER-Consult solution?
The Dynamity add-on builds on the ER-Consult Light version and extends it with an SSRS-based output path. If you are already using ER-Consult, both solutions complement each other seamlessly.
