Electronic Invoicing (IT)
Italian Electronic Invocing (also known as FatturaPA) is defined by government rules through the "Agenzia delle Entrate".
Fatturazione elettronica PA - FatturaPA
Most sales invoices must be sent to customers and most purchase invoices are received from vendors. Only few exceptions are allowed.
Electronic Invoices can be exchanged manually (via certified e-mail PEC or via authorized provider) or automatically (Business Central can contact the provider via Web Services).

For private company "PA Code" is 7 character length, for governative agencies is 6 character length. Use "XXXXXXX" for foreign customers, use "0000000" to use the default provider that customer has defined in the public registry.
E-Invoice Setup
The "Italy E-Invoice Setup" contains all specific parameters of the function. "Working Path" is the virtual file system path to store sent and received e-invoices and their attachments.
It's possible to strip unwanted characters from document numbers and to define a custom Exchange Reference to map internal code with external ones (for example change Unit of Measure Code).
It's possible to upload an XML/XSL to pretty format the e-invoices for printing. This is one of the mostly used stylesheet in Italy: https://for.assosoftware.it/assoinvoice

You can define several e-invoice exchange profile, one for each provider that you use. If you don't have a provider but exchange the invoices manually, select "Download/Upload" transport.
In the "Document Exchange Profiles" page select "Italy E-Invoice" as format and enable it.

In the "Posted Sales Invoices" page (or "Posted Sales Credit Memo") select the action "Document Exchange" and select the export option. For each selected document an E-Invoice is created.
Sales and Purchases E-Invoices
The pages "Italy Sales E-Invoices" and "Italy Purchases E-Invoices" allows you to view and filter all e-invoices created or received. It's possible to:
- Delete and recreate the wrong E-Invoices
- Export the E-Invoices as original XML o formatted HTML
- Massive send or receive the E-Invoices
- Automatically create new vendors
- Automatically create purchase invoices or credit memo by predefined rules
These pages are very important to assert that all sales and purchases invoices have been posted.
Enhanced "Fattura Stamp" Management
"Fattura Stamp" is a special and mandatory tax if the sales document has no VAT. The "Stamp" can be only declared and paid by company or declared and charged to customer.
To better automate this process, new fields are added to "Sales & Receivables Setup" page:
- Default Fattura Stamp Amount
- Fattura Stamp Threshold (value over which the Stamp is applied)
- Fattura Stamp G/L Account (G/L Account to charge the customer)
- Fattura Stamp Description (description of charge invoice line)
To use the function press the Assist Edit on "Fattura Stamp" on "Sales Invoice" Page.
VAT Shareout "Ventilazione"
These business can declare to government that:
- Purchases are well divided per VAT rate
- Sales are made in aggregated form, without applying any VAT rate
To pay the right taxes, these business need to calculate "Ventilazione" that is VAT rate to apply to sales proportionally to purchases.
The calculation is made starting from the 1° january of each years to the end of each VAT period.
Example
| Month | VAT rate | Purchase amount | Shareout % |
| January | 4 % | 10.000 | 16,53 % |
| January | 10 % | 33.000 | 54,55 % |
| January | 22 % | 17.500 | 28,92 % |
| Total | 60.500 | 100 % |
The aggreate sales of January are 97.000 so the VAT to pay is:
| VAT rate | Shareout % | Sales amount (incl. VAT) | VAT amount |
| 4 % | 16,53 % | 16.034 | 641 |
| 10 % | 54,55 % | 52.914 | 5.291 |
| 22 % | 28,92 % | 28.052 | 6.171 |
| Total | 100 % | 97.000 | 12.103 |
New purchases of February increase previous totals and generate a new shareout for February sales:
| Month | VAT rate | Purchase amount | Shareout % |
| January + February | 4 % | 22.000 | 18,72 % |
| January+ February | 10 % | 59.500 | 50,64 % |
| January + February | 22 % | 36.000 | 30,64 % |
| Total | 117.500 | 100 % |
And so on...
Setup
In "VAT Posting Setup" table mark interested purchase lines for "base" in the shareout calculation.
Also mark the sales lines:
- That ones aggregated "to be sharedout"
- That one after calculation "sharedout"
For lines to be sharedout is necessary also to specify the G/L account for reversing the calculated VAT (sales are posted "included VAT" and need to be reducted for the amount of VAT).
Before VAT settlement, run and post VAT shareout calculation.
