Configuration¶

Installez les modules suivants pour obtenir toutes les fonctionnalités de la localisation italienne :

Informations relatives à l’entreprise¶

La configuration des informations relatives à l’entreprise vous permet de correctement configurer la base de données de la comptabilité. Pour ajouter des informations, allez aux Paramètres ‣ Paramètres généraux et dans la section Sociétés, cliquez sur Mettre à jour les informations. Complétez alors les champs suivants :

• Adresse : l’adresse de la société ;

• TVA : le numéro de TVA de la société ;

• Codice Fiscale : le code fiscal de la société ;

• Système fiscal : le système fiscal de la société ;

Configuration des taxes¶

Many of the e-invoicing features are implemented using Odoo’s tax system. As such, taxes must be properly configured to generate invoices correctly and handle other billing use cases.

The Italian localization contains predefined examples of taxes for various purposes.

Tax exemption¶

The use of sale taxes that amount to zero percent (0%) is required by Italian authorities to keep track of the exact Tax Exemption Kind (Natura) and Law Reference that justify the exemption operated on an invoice line.

Reverse charge¶

The reverse charge mechanism is a VAT rule that shifts the liability to pay VAT from the supplier to the customer. The customers pay the VAT themselves to the AdE instead. There are different types:

• Internal Reverse Charge (for domestic sales)

  The VAT responsibility is shifted to the buyer for certain categories of products and services.
• External Reverse Charge (for intra-EU sales)

  VAT is due in the country of the delivery or in the country where the service is performed. When the buyer is itself an Italian business, then the EU offers a mechanism that allows the seller to transfer his responsibility to the buyer.

Factures clients¶

Reverse-charged customer invoices show no VAT amount, but the AdE requires the seller to specify the Tax Exemption reason and the Law Reference that enable the reverse-charge mechanism. Odoo provides a set of special 0% taxes that can be assigned to each reverse-charged invoice lines, representing the most commonly used configurations.

Factures fournisseurs¶

Italian companies subjected to Reverse Charge must send the information in the bill received to the AdE.

When creating a vendor bill, reverse charge taxes are available to be added in the Taxes field. You can check which taxes are available by going to Accounting ‣ Configuration ‣ Taxes, you can see that the 10% Goods and 22% Services taxes are activated, among others. Due to the automated configuration of the Italian fiscal position, these are automatically activated in the tax list.

Tax grids¶

The Italian localization has a specific tax grid section for reverse charge taxes. These tax grids are identifiable by the VJ tag, and can be found by going to Accounting ‣ Reporting ‣ Audit Reports: Tax Report.

Facturation électronique¶

The SdI is the electronic invoicing system used in Italy. It enables the sending and receiving of electronic invoices to and from customers. The documents must be in an XML EDI format called FatturaPA and formally validated by the system before being delivered.

To be able to receive invoices and notifications, the SdI service must be notified that the user’s files need to be sent to Odoo and processed on their behalf. To do so, you must set up Odoo’s Destination Code on the AdE portal.

1. Go to Italian authorities portal and authenticate;

2. Allez à la section Fatture e Corrispettivi ;

3. Définissez l’utilisateur comme Partie légale pour le numéro de TVA dont vous souhaitez configurer l’adresse électronique ;

4. In Servizi Disponibili ‣ Fatturazione Elettronica ‣ Registrazione dell’indirizzo telematico dove ricevere tutte le fatture elettroniche, insert Odoo’s Destination Code K95IV18, and confirm.

EDI Mode and authorization¶

Puisque les fichiers sont transmis par le serveur d’Odoo avant d’être envoyés au service SdI ou reçus par votre base de données, vous devez autoriser Odoo à traiter vos fichiers à partir de votre base de données. Pour ce faire, allez à Comptabilité ‣ Configuration ‣ Paramètres ‣ Facturation électronique.

There are three modes available:

• Démo

  This mode simulates an environment in which invoices are sent to the government. In this mode, invoices need to be manually downloaded as XML files and uploaded to the AdE’s website.
• Test (expérimental)

  This mode sends invoices to a non-production (i.e., test) service made available by the AdE. Saving this change directs all companies on the database to use this configuration.
• Officiel

  This is a production mode that sends your invoices directly to the AdE.

Une fois que vous avez sélectionnez un mode, vous devez accepter les conditions générales en cochant Autoriser Odoo à traiter les factures, et puis en cliquant sur Enregistrer. Vous pouvez désormais enregistrer vos transactions dans Odoo Comptabilité.

Traiter¶

The submission of invoices to the SdI for Italy is an electronic process used for the mandatory transmission of tax documents in XML format between companies and the AdE to reduce errors and verify the correctness of operations.

XML Documents creation¶

Odoo generates the required XML files as attachments to invoices in the FatturaPA format required by the AdE. Once the invoices needed are selected, go to Action and click on Send and Print.

When the pop-up window opens there is a selection of actions that can be taken. Generate XML File generates the attachments.

The XML file as well as the PDF once can be found attached to the invoice.

Submission to SDI¶

The Send to Tax Agency option in the Send and Print dialog sends the attachment to the Proxy Server, which gathers all requests and then forwards them via a WebServices channel to the SdI. Check the sending status of the invoice through the Check Sending button at the top of the invoice’s view.

Processing by SDI¶

The SdI receives the document and verifies for any errors. At this stage, the invoice is in the SdI Processing state, as shown on the invoice. The invoice also gets assigned a FatturaPA Transaction number that is shown in the Electronic Invoicing tab. The checks may take variable time, ranging from a few seconds up to a day, depending on the queue of invoices sent throughout Italy.

Acceptance¶

If the document is valid, it is recorded and considered fiscally valid by the AdE, which will proceed with archiving in Substitute Storage (Conservazione Sostitutiva) if explicitly requested on the Agency’s portal.

The SdI Destination Code attempts to forward the invoice to the customer at the provided address, whether it is a PEC email address or a SdI Destination Code for their ERP’s WebServices channels. A maximum of 6 attempts are made every 12 hours, so even if unsuccessful, this process can take up to three days. The invoice status is Accepted by SDI, Forwarding to Partner.

Possible Rejection¶

The SdI may find inaccuracies in the compilation, possibly even formal ones. In this case, the invoice is in the SDI Rejected state. The SdI’s observations are inserted at the top of the Invoice tab. To resolve the issue, it is sufficient to delete the attachments of the invoice, return the invoice to Draft, and fix the errors. Once the invoice is ready, it can be resent.

Forwarding Completed¶

The invoice has been delivered to the customer; however, you can still send a copy to the customer in PDF via email or post. Its status is Accepted by SDI, Delivered to Partner.

If the SdI cannot contact your customer, they may not be registered on the AdE portal. In this case, just make sure to send the invoice in PDF via email or by mail. The invoice is then in the Accepted by SDI, Partner Delivery Failed state.

Tax Integration¶

When you receive a vendor bill, either from SdI, from paper or from an imported XML file, the Tax Agency might request that you send some tax information integration back to the SdI. It happens when a transaction that was tax exempt becomes taxable for any reason.

Odoo may detect that your vendor bill can be interpreted as a document of a type that needs tax integration, as detailed in the Types de documents section.

Important

Be sure that you replace the 0% Sale Taxes on the vendor bill you received with the ones you’re supposed to pay to the AdE. A button then appears on the top of the single vendor bill form to send them.

When clicking on the Send Tax Integration button, an XML file of the appropriate Document Type is generated, attached to the bill, and sent as for invoices.

Types de documents¶

The SdI requires businesses to send customer invoices and other documents through the EDI.

The following Document Type codes all technically identify different business use cases.

TD01 - Invoices¶

This represents the standard domestic scenario for all invoices exchanged through the SdI. Any invoice that doesn’t fall into one of the specific special cases is categorized as a regular invoice, identified by the Document Type TD01.

TD02 - Down payments¶

Down payment invoices are imported/exported with a different Document Type code TDO2 than regular invoices. Upon import of the invoice, a regular vendor bill is created.

Odoo exports transactions as TD02 if the following conditions are met:

1. It is an invoice;

2. All invoice lines are related to down payment sales order lines.

TD04 - Credit notes¶

It is the standard scenario for all credit notes issued to domestic clients, when we need to formally acknowledge that the seller is reducing or cancelling a previously issued invoice, for example, in case of overbilling, incorrect items, or overpayment. Just like invoices, they must be sent to the SdI, their Document Type TD04

TD07, TD08, TD09 - Simplified Invoicing¶

Simplified invoices (TD07), credit notes (TD08), and debit notes (TD09) can be used to certify domestic transactions under 400 EUR (VAT included). Its status is the same as that of a regular invoice, but with fewer information requirements.

For a simplified invoice to be established, it must include:

1. Référence de la facture client : séquence de numérotation unique sans écarts ;

2. Date de facturation : date d’émission de la facture ;

3. Informations relatives à la société : les coordonnées complètes du vendeur (numéro TVA/TIN, nom, adresse complète) dans Paramètres généraux ‣ Sociétés (section) ;

4. VAT: the buyer’s VAT/TIN number (on the partner form);

5. Total : le montant total (TVA comprise) de la facture.

Dans l”EDI, Odoo exporte les factures en format simplifié si :

1. It is a domestic transaction (i.e., the partner is from Italy);

2. Your company’s required fields (VAT Number or Codice Fiscale, Fiscal Regime, and full address) are provided;

3. The partner’s address is not fully specified (i.e., it misses the City or the ZipCode);

4. The total amount of VAT included is less than 400 EUR.

TD16 - Internal Reverse Charge¶

Internal reverse charge transactions (see Tax exemption and Reverse charge) are exported as TD16 if the following conditions are met:

• It is a vendor bill;

• It has at least one tax on the invoice lines that targets one of these tax grids: VJ6, VJ7, VJ8, VJ12, VJ13, VJ14, VJ15, VJ16, VJ17

TD17 - Buying services from abroad¶

When buying services from EU and non-EU countries, the foreign seller invoices a service with a VAT-excluded price, as it is not taxable in Italy. The VAT is paid by the buyer in Italy.

• Within the EU: the buyer integrates the invoice received with the VAT information due in Italy (i.e., vendor bill tax integration);

• Non UE : l”acheteur s’envoie lui-même une facture (c’est-à-dire auto-facturation).

Odoo exporte une transaction en tant que TD17 si les conditions suivantes sont réunies :

• It is a vendor bill;

• It has at least one tax on the invoice lines that targets the tax grid VJ3;

• Toutes les lignes de facture ont des Services comme produits ou une taxe dont le champ d’application inclut les Services.

TD18 - Buying goods from EU¶

Les factures émises au sein de l’UE respectent un format standard, donc une seule intégration de la facture existante est requise.

Odoo exporte une transaction en tant que TD18 si les conditions suivantes sont réunies :

• It is a vendor bill;

• The partner is from an EU country;

• It has at least one tax on the invoice lines that targets the tax grid VJ9;

• All invoice lines either have Consumable as products, or a tax with Goods as tax scope.

TD19 - Buying goods from VAT deposit¶

Buying goods from a foreign vendor, but the goods are already in Italy in a VAT deposit.

• From the EU: the buyer integrates the invoice received with the VAT information due in Italy (i.e., vendor bill tax integration);

• Non UE : l”acheteur s’envoie lui-même une facture (c’est-à-dire auto-facturation).

Odoo exports a transaction as a TD19 if the following conditions are met:

• It is a vendor bill;

• It has at least one tax on the invoice lines that targets the tax grid VJ3;

• All invoice lines either have Consumables as products, or a tax with Goods as tax scope.

TD24 - Deferred invoices¶

La facture différée est une facture qui est émise à un moment ultérieur à la vente de marchandises ou à la fourniture de services. Une facture différée doit être émise au plus tard le 15ème jour du mois suivant la livraison ciblée par le document.

It usually is a summary invoice containing a list of multiple sales of goods or services carried out in the month. The business is allowed to group the sales into one invoice, generally issued at the end of the month for accounting purposes. Deferred invoices are default for wholesalers having recurrent clients.

Si les marchandises sont transportées par un transporteur, chaque livraison est accompagnée d’un Documento di Transporto (DDT) ou Document de transport. La facture différée doit indiquer les détails de toutes les informations du DDT pour une meilleure traçabilité.

Odoo exports transactions as TD24 if the following conditions are met:

1. It is an invoice;

2. It is associated with deliveries whose DDTs have a different date than the issue date of the invoice.

TD28 - San Marino¶

Factures clients¶

San Marino and Italy have special agreements on e-invoicing operations. As such, invoices follow the regular reverse charge rules. You can use the proper Document Type depending on the invoice type: TD01, TD04, TD05, TD24, TD25. Additional requirements are not enforced by Odoo. However, the user is requested by the State to:

• Select a tax with the Tax Exemption Kind set to N3.3;

• Use the generic SdI Destination Code 2R4GT08.

The invoice is then routed by a dedicated office in San Marino to the correct business.

Factures fournisseurs¶

When a paper bill is received from San Marino, any Italian company must submit that invoice to the AdE by indicating the e-invoice’s Document Type field with the special value TD28.

Odoo exports a transaction as TD28 if the following conditions are met:

1. It is a vendor bill;

2. It has at least one tax on the invoice lines that targets the tax grids VJ;

3. Le pays du partenaire est Saint-Marin.

Public Administration Businesses (B2G)¶

PA businesses are subjected to more control than private businesses as they handle public money coming from taxpayers. The EDI process adds some steps to the regular one, as PA businesses can accept or refuse invoices.

CIG, CUP, DatiOrdineAcquisto¶

To ensure the effective traceability of payments by public administrations, electronic invoices issued to public administrations must contain:

• Le CIG, sauf dans les cas d’exonérations des obligations de traçabilité prévus par la loi n° 136 du 13 août 2010 ;

• Le CUP, dans le cas de factures relatives aux travaux publics.

If the XML file requires it, the AdE can only proceed payments of electronic invoices when the XML file contains a CIG and CUP.

Split Payment¶

The Split Payment mechanism behaves much like Reverse charge.

The specific Scissione dei Pagamenti fiscal position is available to deal with partners belonging to the PA.

Traiter¶

Signature numérique qualifiée¶

For invoices and bills intended for the PA, a Digital Qualified Signature is required for all files sent through the SdI. The XML file must be certified using a certificate that is either:

• une carte à puce ;

• un jeton USB ;

• an HSM.

Acceptance or Refusal¶

After receiving the invoice through the SdI, the PA business has 15 days to accept the invoice. If it does, then the process ends here. If the PA business refuses the invoice, it is still considered valid once it is accepted by the SdI. You then have to issue a credit note to compensate and send it to the SdI.

Expired Terms¶

If the PA business doesn’t reply within 15 days, you need to contact the PA business directly, sending them both the invoice and the received deadline notification by email. You can make an arrangement with them and manually set the correct SdI State on your invoice.
