The use is alternative to the field “Electronic Document No.".
Last File ID Used / Last Date Used fields automatically calculated by the system
Checks
Electronic Invoicing Starting Date

Date starting from which the user will send invoices in electronic format. The minimum requirements for passing the Exchange System (SdI) checks must therefore be respected.

When posting a document, if the Posting Date of the document is later than the electronic invoicing starting date set, the system checks that the following fields are filled out:

- Electronic Document format

- Payment Method Code - Payment Terms Code

- Electronic Document Recipient Code or customer Email PEC

-VAT Registration No. or customer Fiscal Code

 If one or more checks fail, the system will block the registration and return an error.

Country Code Field No. Choose the Country Code Field No., which will indicate to the system the correct ISO code to be considered for electronic invoicing. The check procedure on the registration date will only verify the documents for which the invoicing customer's country code is “IT”. In this way it is possible to exclude foreign countries (for which it is not mandatory to issue an electronic invoice) from system checks on the fields: Electronic document format, Payment Method Code, Payment Terms Code, Electronic Document Recipient Code/ Customer Email PEC , VAT Registration No. / customer Fiscal Code

Other setups

From Job Queue Entries is possible to schedule the sending of .xml files. Indicate the codeunit or report to be executed, specify the starting / ending date and time and define the days if necessary.

From Customer Setup you can define a specific setup group for all customers and / or define a different setup group for a single customer

This setup can be reached in the "Outbound setup FTE" through the "Setup groups" and "Customer setup" actions. 

In the "Setup groups" it is possible to set up multiple models with different rules for exporting the data to the electronic invoice/credit note in xml format. 

These settings concern the inclusion or exclusion of the PDF attachment of the invoice/credit note, the export of transport document data, other related data, etc.  

In the "customer setup" it is possible to combine the setup previously set to all customers, to a single customer or to a single document class

From Transliteration List it is possible to evaluate symbols / characters in the .xml files so that the system recognizes them. (Transliterating = Transcribing a word, a sentence, a text from one alphabetical system to another)

In VAT Posting Setup  fill in the field "VAT Transaction Nature".

In addition to the setting “Duty Stamp Setup (FTE)", in ordet to export the values 2.1.1.6 <DatiBollo>, 2.1.1.6.1 <BolloVirtuale> and 2.1.1.6.2 <ImportoBollo> to the Fattura Elettronica 2.1.1.6 layout tag it is necessary to enable "Duty stamp" for the related VATposting setup:

Customer Card Setup

In the Customer card, in the Electronic Document Tab, fill in the following fields:

 

Field Description
Electronic Document Format

indicate if the customer manages:

PA electronic invoicing

B2B electronic invoicing

If electronic invoicing is not managed leave the field blank (eg in the case of a foreign customer)

Electronic Document Recipient Code - If the PA Invoice option has been selected in the "Electronic Document Format" field, enter a 6-character alpha-numeric code that identifies the related public office, in a unique manner. This code can be found on the website http://www.indicepa.gov.it/documentale/index.php.
-If you have chosen the B2B Invoice option in the "Electronic Document Format" field, enter a 7-character alpha-numeric code . If the customer uses the Abletech service indicate as dElectronic Document Recipient Code "A4707H7"
For a customer registered in the public registry indicate 0000000
For a non-resident foreign customer it is possible to indicate XXXXXXX.
If a recipient code is not available, it is possible to indicate the email PEC
No Electronic Doc. Management If crossed out, the customer is excluded from the electronic invoicing process. No checking will be performed during posting and it will not be possible to export xml files for that customer

Communication methods

PEC Email

If the Customer has only the PEC email, we will populate the field "email PEC" in the customer card and insert as Electronic Document Recipient Code: "0000000".

The created .xml file will contain this email address. The sdi then recognizes the Customer in accordance with the email address.

In case the Recipient code has not been entered on the customer card. the system will populate the code automatically with "0000000"

Recipient Code

if the Customer has provided us with a recipient code, we will enter this code in the field "Electronic Document Recipient Code" in the customer card (customer's code or intermediary's code). If no recipient code has been specified, the system will not allow the export of the .xml file.

VAT Registration No. / Fiscal Code

If we are not aware of any of the previously mentioned data, then in the field Electronic Document Recipient Code we enter '0000000'. The Exchange System will recognize the Customer based on the VAT number or Fiscal Code defined in the .xml file.  

Foreign Electronic Invoices

In case of invoice issued to non-resident subjects, not established, not identified in Italy, and sent to the Exchange System in order to transmit the data for the Invoice Data declaration, we set 'XXXXXXX' in the Electronic Document Recipient Code. Obviously the SdI will not deliver the invoice, therefore it is required to send it also with standard methods (eg email with attached .pdf).


In Payment Methods fill in the "Fattura PA Payment Method" field: enter one of the codes established by the Revenue Agency.

In Payment Terms compilare fill in the Fattura Payment Terms Code" enter one of the codes established by the Revenue Agency::

Ignore Duplicate Files decide whether to have the system ignore the  files (names) already imported

Reconcile Criteria

Batch Processing

 
Batch Electr. Doc. Creation
Batch Purch. Docume
you can decide which phase to perform automatically if there are no blocking errors
 

 

Unit of Measure

From the Unit of Measure, a cross reference can be defined so that the system recognizes the units of measure present in the .xml file.

Checks

You can see the checks that the system makes on the documents and the error codes. The list can be modified only in the Description and Check type column.

It is possible to choose whether for each check the system shows:

ERROR: in this case the user is blocked in the execution of the following steps

WARNING: it does not block the user, but warns that there is some anomaly in the document

NONE: the system does not perform the validation and no message / warning appears

SILENT: the system performs validation, but does not issue messages / warnings.

For the red line a further setup must be specified: Lines reconciliation ratings.

Lines reconciliation ratings

In Lines reconciliation ratings are set rules for automatic reconciliation of posted documents. This is done by assigning a score that indicates to the system whether the posted document has the necessary requirements to be matched:

Example:

For a specic electronic document line, If the system finds a DDT that has the correct Vendor DDT No.  (25 points) and the exact item quantity (5 points), will assign to that line a total points: 25 + 5 = 30.

Based on the setup, the system will or will not match the document. In our example, if the setup is the following:

the document will be linked to the line because it has exceeded 20, but a warning will appear because the rating does not exceed 30.

 

Other Setups

For each vendor setup group it is possible to map the Cash Types with the desired destination account.

Field Description
Cash Type Enter the code provided in the electronic invoice layout (e.g. TC01, ...)  
Description Description of the code  
Description 2 Additional description  
VAT % % VAT applied to the amount

Cash Line Type  Line type to apply to the line (G/L Account, Item)  
Cash Line No.  No. to be applied to the line to be filled in with the G/L Account code or the Item code (depends on the completion of the "Cash line type" field)  
Professional Tax Amount  If the flag is YES the amount is reported in the "Professional Tax Amount " field, if it is NO added to the taxable amount. (e.g.: the value is No when it comes to INPS contribution, which is added to the recipient's income)
