Aloaha ZUGFeRD

You create the .NET Object with a code line like:

Dim alo As New Aloaha_ZUGFeRD.XML

You might want to fill the .NET Object directly with data. In that case please create the object with:

Dim zug As Aloaha_ZUGFeRD.iXML.ZUGFeRD = Nothing

To create and prefill the object please call:

zug = alo.CreateInvoice(“INV0815″, “Rechnung gemäß Bestellung”, alo.TodayDate.Document_Date, alo.TodayDate.Document_DateFormat, , , “EUR”)

In case you are NOT planning to fill some data objects manually you can just call the function as VOID

call alo.CreateInvoice(“INV0815″, “Rechnung gemäß Bestellung”, alo.TodayDate.Document_Date, alo.TodayDate.Document_DateFormat, , , “EUR”)

It is possible to optionally add a note to the invoice:

alo.AddDocumentNote(“Notiztext”, “AAA”)

Obviously you need to add the details for the buyer:

alo.WriteBuyer(“Buyer Intermedia GmbH”, “49479”, “Ibbenbüren”, “Rudolf-Diesel-Straße”, “”, “DE”, “Wrock001″, “DE 08154711″)

and also the sellers details:

alo.WriteSeller(“Aloaha”, “PBK4711″, “Pembroke”, “Helgoland”, “45, Triq Gio”, “MT”, “MT0815″)

Optionally you can also add the contact person of the buying party:

alo.WriteBuyerContactPerson(“Hans Mustermann”, “Einkauf”, “mw@domain.tld”, “+49 5451 9435 4711″, “+49 5451 9435 0815″)

Even documents, related to the purchase, can be added optionally:

alo.AddBuyerOrderReferencedDocument(“08154711″, “20130608”, “102”)

You can write your Invoice Number with: (from version 8.0.0.10)
alo.AddSellerAssignedID(“Rechungsnummer”)

The order reference you can write with: (from version 8.0.0.10)
alo.AddBuyerAssignedID(“Bestellnummer”)

Since even the sellers side can have a contact person you can add that person with another single line:

alo.WriteSellerContactPerson(“Haenschen Klein”, “Verkauf”, “stefan@domain.tld”, “+356 4711″, “+356 0815″)

Delivery notes  and payment references can be added:

alo.AddDeliveryNote(“3245″, “20130608”, “102”)

alo.PaymentReference = “Invoice No. INV08154711″

Many different payment means are possible. Here as an example a direct debit and a transfer

alo.AddPaymentMeans(alo.PaymentMeansCode(Aloaha_ZUGFeRD.iXML.Payment_Means.DirectDebit), “Lastschrift”, “iban”, “sparkasse”, “bic”, “BLZ”, “Bankname”, True)

alo.AddPaymentMeans(alo.PaymentMeansCode(Aloaha_ZUGFeRD.iXML.Payment_Means.DebitTransfer_SEPA), “Überweisung”, “MT67 MMEB 4475 0851″, “”, “MMXX MTXX”, “”, “HSBC”, False)

The trade tax should be inserted:

alo.AddTradeTax(“3.06″, “EUR”, “170”, “EUR”, “VAT”, “S”, “18”, “”)

and maybe even some logistics charges:

alo.AddLogisticsServiceCharge(“Post”, “1”, “EUR”, “VAT”, “S”, “18”)

A MUST are obviously the invoice totals:

alo.WriteTotals(100, 94.4, 84.4, 80, 14.4, 20, 10)

There are many different functions to add products to the invoice. One of the most simple functions is:

alo.AddProduct_Comfort_Quick(“Kaffee”, “Getraenk”, “AloKaff01″, “nicht rabattierfähig”, 10, “Tasse(n)”, 1.7, “EUR”, 0, “”, “18”, “VAT”)

In case you need to review or edit some object values directly assign it to zug:

zug = alo.ZUGFeRD_Structure

Edit the object and add a note to an invoice item:

ReDim zug.TradeItems(0).Note(0 To 0)
zug.TradeItems(0).Note(0).SubjectCode = “SCode”
zug.TradeItems(0).Note(0).Content = “Wir erlauben uns Ihnen folgende Positionen aus der Lieferung Nr. 2013-51112 in Rechnung zu stellen”

In case you edited directly the object you need to write it back:

alo.ZUGFeRD_Structure = zug

And last but not least you have to write the ZUGFeRD Data to a file:

alo.SaveXML(“c:\test.xml”)

To read an existing ZUGFeRD XML into the .NET Object please call:

alo.FillZUGFeRD_Structure(“c:\test.xml”)

assign the data with:

alo.ZUGFeRD_Structure = zug

and save it back with

alo.SaveXML(“c:\test.xml”)

Most of the functions are self explaining.  But should you have any questions or suggestions do not hesitate to ask here in the Blog or contact info@zugferdpro.com
