Overview
The Uruguayan Government require that large taxpayers send their on-shore invoices electronically . They must also be able to receive invoices electronically.
Electronic invoices (CFEs) are xml files in a format specified by the Uruguayan tax authority (DGI)
They are sent to a DGI web service and also via email to the counterparty.
Onshore / Offshore/ Contingency
Onshore invoices are those sent to Uruguayan companies.
Offshore invoices are those sent to foreign companies.
Contingency invoices are those produced when the DGI web service is not available.
CFE Types
These are the types of CFE available for the electronic documentation of operations:
o     e-Invoice
o     e-Invoice Credit note.          } For operations among taxpayers (B2B)
o     e-Invoice Debit note.

o     e-Ticket.
o     e-Ticket Credit note.          } Only for Final Consumption (B2C)
o     e-Ticket Debit note.

o     e-Receipt.
o     e-Voucher.

Each CFE type has its own set of sequence numbers.

Process
 
Outgoing eInvoice
1.     User creates sales invoice in AGSINV_UE

2.     On the working page the user selects Invoice Style ( Cash / Credit ) , Invoice Type ( On shore , off shore or contingency and CFE type ( eInvoice / eTicket)

3.     SINV will generate an aud02 record and take the next sequence number for the selected CFE  type.



4.     The CFE xml file will be generated. This will be sent to the government web service which performs a preliminary validation.
If it is accepted the response will contain a token to identify the CFE and a time to check the final status.
At this stage a QR code is generated which is added to the invoice document. The invoice is then saved as a pdf and both it and the CFE xml file are emailed to the counterparty.

5.     An ITAS batch job ( ctrl11) is submitted to run at the time specified by the DGI. This calls a second web service which reports if the CFE has been accepted or not.
The ITAS program calling the web service (J60) will email the creator of the invoice with the result. If the CFE has been accepted the accounting document will be posted. If not the aud02 will be marked as void.

6.     Upon receiving the CFE  the counterparty should send an acknowledgement. They can either accept or reject the CFE.  The acknowledgement will be sent to the CFE email address which is monitored by Docman Server.  When docman server receives an acknowledgement it emails the creator of the invoice. If the CFE has been accepted it updates the aud02 as acknowledged.

 
Incoming eInvoices

DOCENT
1.     Incoming CFEs are received by DocmanServer and moved to the CFE folder to be processed.

2.     The DOCENT menu option Process Electronic Invoice prompts for the CFE xml file to process


3.     The user is shown the details from the CFE

They can accept or reject the CFE.

4.     The response xml is generated using the ACKPARTES IGI style and  is sent to the counterparty .

5.     The DOCENT form is shown with the details from the CFE  populated.

6.     When the invoice is saved the CFE is moved to the invoices folder.


PINV_UE

1.     Incomming CFEs can also be processed in PINV_UE.
2.     The process is similar to DOCENT but user is prompted to select a purchase contract for the counterparty based on the RUT in the incoming CFE.

 
Resending eInvoices

A CFE will need to be resent in the following cases.
a.     The CFE was invalid because of missing / incorrect client static  e.g. incorrect RUT number.
b.     Network error or DGI web service unavailable
c.     Wrong CFE type ( eTicket / eInvoice ) selected.
The SINV_UE option Resend CFE will show CFEs available for resend :
This will show all unposted invoices not accepted by the DGI or marked as void.
Resending will regenerate the CFE xml from the IGI style so new client static will be picked up. The invoice rtf/pdf document may need to be updated manually.
If the CFE was rejected by J60 and marked as void a new sequence number will be generated.
There are also options to resubmit the status check if the J60 web service call failed and to recreate the QR code.

Daily Report

Each day the company must produce a report of all CFEs sent. This is created in AGSINV_UE > eFactura Daily report.
The program prompts for the date of the report and a Sequence number.
If a correction needs to be made to a previously sent report the sequence number should be increased. e.g. if Seq 1 was sent on 1st July  but subsequently that day more CFEs were generated then the  Seq 2 should be sent as a replacement of Seq 1.
It is generated using the IGI style EFACRECEPECIONREPORTE and sent to the DGI via web service.

 
ASP Page
EDFMAN have a webserver where clients can download there CFEs in XML or PDF format.
When the eInvoice is created a webservice is called  which copies the xml and pdf files an stores the type, series, receipt no, amount and security code.
An ASP page allows clients to look up their invoice using these details

Logging
The log file for eInvoicing is itas\log\xx_einvoice.log where xx is the company code.

Emails to the designated eInvoice email address will be picked up by docman server
They are split into acknowledgements and CFEs
Acknowledgements from the counterparty which are parsed and the document creator is notified by email
Incoming CFEs are put into the incoming CFE folder for processing by AGPINV_UE / DOCENT

eInvoiceTest
