E-invoicing EUROPE

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 29

Hello,

In Europe we need to activate e-invoicing from July.

Our company will soon pass to BC, where the option will be integrated.

However, until then, we need to find an alternative solution that doesn't need changes on our current NAV 2013.

Do you know any software that you would recommend that would be able to take NAV's xml print-out and send it to the Country's revenue agency?

Thank you in advance

    E-invoicing EUROPE
    Hi,

    Nav 2013:
    for Nav 2013 best buy an addon from a 3rd party provider. simple google for "e-invoice addon nav 2013". i found a couple of providers.

    Nav 2016:
    A good idea would be upgrading to Nav 2016. It provides import/export of e-documents with ready to use peppol format.

    Business Central:
    for e-invoice export simply use the e-document functionality. check out e-document formats.
     
    if there are no entries goto cronus demo company (test envoronment), there should be some sample entries.
    if not run "demo tool for contoso". that creates some "peppol bis3" based entries in the e-document format list. 
    for an peppol vs. 2.1 entry create the entry manually and use the according cu 1600.
     
    the functionality is hardcoded, no data exch. definition (xml structure) is available, means editable.
    you can only change the given codeunit, which uses a matching xmlport behind. 
     
    if that is done goto "document send profiles", there add a new entry, eg. "INV Peppol 2.1". Set code and description. In tab "send options" you see the fields for setting the data exchange manner. For exporting a ready to use e-invoice in peppol 2.1 xml format set field Disk to "Electronic Document" and Format to "Peppol 2.1", the e-document format you created before. All other fields set to No. 
     
    Goto a customer, do that best in the test environment, set the send profile to the just created "INV Peppol 2.1".
    Create a sales invoice for that customer, post and send it. A e-invoice in peppol 2.1 xml format is created and downloaded. 
    Check it using an online peppol invoice validator.
     
    If the send action fails then there is some data missing or wrong in the test company: UID, missing "your reference", etc.
    Make the needed changes and try again.

    Alice,

    For Dynamics NAV I would look at this Addon that works. Easy to implement and setup.

    winspiresolutions.com/.../

    It will meet your requirements.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    I agree with Igne, you can try to contact the Partner on AppSource, I think they should have the On-Premise solution.

    For example: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/dynamics-365-business-central/PUBID.econnectinternationalbv1636015327621%7CAID.peppol_econnect%7CPAPPID.301044a8-8f4c-4579-84fa-fc930f019950?tab=DetailsAndSupport

    As your version is out of mainstream support i think you have two options.

    Either check with any Italian Dynamics NAV partner to check if they have a solution you can use or you need to customize the xml export of the peppol format. There is probably something in the standard version that can be built on.

    Thank you Zhu! We don't have BC yet.

    We need to find a software that works with NAV 2013. We cannot upgrade it as of now.

    Hi, It depends on the region of your BC, Microsoft customizes localization features for some regions, as shown below, and they are available out of the box.

    There are also many solutions on AppSource.

    In addition, you can also choose to upgrade the functionality of NAV2013 to BC.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Hi Inge,

    Thank you for your reply.

    We will only be able to upgrade to Business Central next autumn, so we need a solution that works with NAV 2013 for the time being.

    We are based in Italy

    Business Central do have pretty good support for the PEPPOL standard used in Europe.

    But you will need an agreement with an access point that can relay your invoices.

    Depending on the country you are operating in there might be solutions available for that on AppSource.
