From 6 June 2014 it is compulsory to issue exclusively electronic invoices to some central P.P.A.s and subsequently the obligation has been extended to all other Administrations.
Paper invoices will no longer be paid.

PREPARING THE ELECTRONIC INVOICE
To prepare the electronic invoice in the required format requires to integrate the management data with additional information, some data must be converted into the values specifically required by the format imposed. The invoice must be signed electronically.

SEND THE INVOICE
The invoice can only be sent via the channels provided by the exchange system (SdI) and only upon acceptance by the system can the invoice be considered to have been issued with obvious problems in the case of errors which in many cases require the issue of credit notes.

KEEP THE INVOICE
Electronic invoices must be stored exclusively in electronic format and receipts, also electronic, issued by the interchange system must be attached to them.
