How e-invoicing works
The entire process is divided into several important steps that ensure that the digital tax documents (Documentos Tributarios Electrónicos, DTEs) comply with legal requirements and are transmitted smoothly to the recipients.
Step 1: Creation and validation
The first step is to extract the necessary data from the company's SAP system to create the DTE in the XML format prescribed by the SII, using special validation mechanisms to ensure that the generated documents contain all the required information.
Step 2: Creation of the CAF and digital signature
After the DTE has been created and validated, it is assigned a CAF (Código de Autorización de Folios) is added. Once this code is integrated into the XML document, a digital signature is applied to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the data.
Step 3: Transmission to the recipient
In the final step, the electronic tax documents are sent to the intended recipients after successful validation and signature. GOpus eInvoice sends the DTEs from the SAP system via secure communication channels.
