E-invoicing in Viindoo Accounting¶
Electronic invoices were made from the inspiration of a paperless office and more reliable data. When it first appeared in the late 20th century, E-invoices were only used by some organizations. Nowadays it has been used all over the world.
Viindoo supports the import/export of the invoice files in standard electronic data formats and accepts the integration with third-party systems in transmitting - receiving invoice data.
Viindoo supports invoices in standard electronic data formats¶
As soon as you install the Invoicing module or Accounting and Finance module, the following modules are automatically installed:
Import/Export Invoices from XML/PDF (account_edi);
Import/Export Invoices with Factur-X (account_edi_facturx);
Import/Export Invoices with generic UBL (account_edi_ubl).
These modules allow to import/export invoices in XML, PDF, Factur-X, and UBL format, which meet the standard of electronic invoice data.
Next, you have to install the localized accounting modules.
For example: If your system applies the Indonesian Accounting Standard, you should install two modules:
Indonesian - Accounting (l10n_id)
Indonesia E-faktur (l10n_id_efaktur)
To generate invoices in Viindoo, go to Accounting > Customers > Invoices, click on Create, fill in the form, and press the Save button.
Let’s check all the information on the invoice carefully before clicking on the Confirm button.
On the tab EDI Documents, you can see the invoice information including its name, format, and state.
Each country has its own regulations regarding:
Standard format of electronic invoices;
The process of transmitting/receiving invoices to the third party or the government agencies for confirmation before sending them to customers;
Sign and send the E - invoices directly to customers.
Therefore, Viindoo also allows the integration with the third parties to transmit/receive the generated invoices.
Integration with the third parties in transmitting - receiving invoice data¶
Viindoo is constantly developing the system to be ready to integrate with e-invoice solution providers and the invoice transmitting/receiving portals of the government agencies and etc.
Currently, Viindoo already has the data environment to integrate with the third parties in some countries, like Indonesia, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Vietnam, etc. You just need the integration information, such as the authenticated account, API, etc. In the following articles, we will show you in detail how to do it with Vietnam localized module.
