What's it about?


The HOLZRING, together with its service provider, SGH Service GmbH, would like to optimize its document management. For this purpose, it has asked you as the creditor to send your invoices and credit notes in electronic form in the future.

In order to increase accounting effectiveness and to be able to process your claims more quickly in the future, HOLZRING and SGH offer you several options for supporting your client in the project.

You can also benefit from this by saving the costs of mailing and by spending more time on your core business. In addition, you enjoy the benefits of improved customer relationships.

You yourself can also benefit from this by reducing the costs of postal dispatch and by generating more time for your core business by reducing the effort and the mail delivery time, e.g. by accelerating and more precisely determining the payment runs of your receivables.

On this page you will find the procedure for the conversion to the electronic receipt shipping explained as well as a list of your benefits.

Important instructions

Preparations on both sides are necessary for the smooth running of the process. In order to allocate your receipts fully automatically and thus enable the fastest possible processing, the data from your PDF file is read out by machine. For this, a design is created based on your test documents.

Please note that the processing of PDF documents can only be carried out in compliance with the following points:

Terms of Use for sending documents electronically as "E-mail with PDF attachment"

  • You must provide the proper ZR member number on each document
  • Relevant information is only in the PDF document, not in the email body or subject. Textual contents of an e-mail can not be read due to automatic processing.
  • Any existing attachments to an invoice must be sent in the same PDF file as the document (as attachment pages behind the invoice).
  • Only one PDF per e-mail and only one document per PDF may be sent.
  • The file name of the email attachment must be unique, e.g. by containing the document number. Do not use special characters in the file name because they can not be processed.
  • The data attachments in PDF format must not be stored in ZIP archives or similar containers.
  • The maximum size of an e-mail may not exceed 5 MB.
  • Use a valid e-mail address (no no-reply address) as the sender address to which a confirmation or rejection can be sent if necessary.
  • In the case of the electronic transmission of documents, the additional sending of these documents in paper form is not permitted.
  • Only native PDF files with embedded fonts can be processed. No scans from scanners or multifunction devices for the document to be read.
  • It may not contain electronic signatures (integrated or separate).
  • The PDF documents must not be provided with document protection.
  • You confirm that you consent to the sending of electronic receipts as PDF via email in accordance with the requirements of the central settlement provider and SGH.
  • In exceptional cases, the SGH is allowed, for important reasons, to create paper-based original documents from individual PDF documents and process them manually.
  • For each legally independent company/party, a separate email address must be used for the electronic receipt of documents, and individual tests must be run. Please provide information about your legally independent companies in the comment field of the registration form.
  • Receipts that are sent to an email address other than the SGH-assigned and unique email address will not be processed.
