After the electronic invoicing regulations were published in December 2020, in which the model was modified to include the PACs (Authorized Certification Provider), we set about assessing this opportunity and finally accepted the challenge.

We made the decision by evaluating the different aspects, but our main strengths were determining factors: knowledge of tax aspects and the technical capacity of our team.

At the beginning of this month we have passed the development phase and product quality tests are being carried out before being subjected to certification by the General Directorate of Revenue.

Our product has three main components: The PAC services, which are in charge of validating the invoices sent by the issuers, applying about 200 rules that include the format of the message, the security and validity of the electronic signature and going through the consistency aspects of the data of each invoice. All this in minimal processing time.

Additionally, we developed an integration component, because although the standard has a very complete description, its implementation is not trivial because they play some issues such as electronic signature, added to the XML standard that is no longer common, and is required a not inconsiderable effort to make them work as expected.

In this way, the integration component seeks to abstract this complexity, freeing it from the specialized topics of the signature and the generation of XML structures and provides a simpler interface (REST API), which is in charge of the invoice signature and sending procedures. to the PAC service, it also generates the CUFE (Unique Electronic Invoice Code), issues the CAFE (Auxiliary Electronic Invoice Voucher) and stores the signed invoices, the received confirmations and other elements of the process. This component can operate in the cloud, as a default option, in service mode, but it is also available to be installed in the client’s infrastructure, if required.

Finally, there is a web portal that allows you to manage the issuer’s registry and access queries related to its activity. Security is an important part of our solution, and care has been taken in all the dimensions involved: infrastructure, application, storage and of course the authorization procedures and access to data, with practices used in the financial industry, such as the token. virtual.

As complementary services, we have advice for the adaptation and implementation of electronic invoicing in the systems that are currently operated, and of course, we have the necessary support service to absorb queries or follow up on reported incidents.

We hope in the following days to open the virtual doors of this service, with the conviction of offering a high quality experience, as has always characterized us.

At IDEATI we are available to start the implementation of electronic invoicing, you can schedule an appointment to learn about our services here.
