Improved accessibility of the OZG‑RE

26. Aug 2022 | News

The OZG‑RE invoice submission portal is now available with an improved web interface for invoice recipients, in line with the Ordinance on Accessible Information Technology (BITV 2.0).

Improved accessibility for invoice-receiving authorities since the beginning of September 2022

At the beginning of September, the accessibility of the OZG‑RE web interface was optimised for invoice recipients thanks to a new release.

The update improves usability for all invoice recipients who use the portal. Among other things, the clearer visualisation of the incoming invoice basket makes it easier to view and edit e‑invoices. The overall structure of the portal is also more user‑friendly. It is now easier to find and adjust your personal settings and account settings.

Blind and visually impaired people benefit greatly from the new interface and can make unrestricted use of the invoice submission portal. A guide to using the new interface will soon be available via the following link.

 

Revised version of the portal for invoice senders by the end of 2022

By the end of 2022, another release will be rolled out – a revised version of the portal for invoice senders. The release of this accessible user interface optimised for invoice senders is a further step towards optimum accessibility for all OZG‑RE users. Please note that the feature for filtering and sorting e‑invoices in the OZG‑RE (currently only available to invoice recipients) will be rolled out together with the release for invoice senders by the end of 2022. This will help to ensure that the portal features remain as similar as possible for invoice senders and recipients alike.

An update of the operating guide for invoice senders will also be published on the portal by the end of the year. It will be available here. For more information on operating the invoice submission portals, see our tutorials on the OZG‑RE and ZRE: https://www.en.e-rechnung-bund.de/tutorials/.

To see the changes for yourself, just log into the test environment of the invoice recipients’ interface using your test‑login details: https://test.xrechnung-bdr.de/portal/auth/login.
