Overview
This section covers Spain-specific e-invoicing and bill handling. Two pages deal with VERIFACTU, Spain’s real-time invoice reporting to the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT): one for the embedded mode, which uses digital signing, hash chaining and QR codes through the e-document framework, and one for integration with an external service through the B2Brouter API. VERIFACTU is presented as an alternative to SII.
A separate page lists the SII invoice and credit memo types for sales and purchase documents, including which types Business Central supports and how they appear in the XML.
The Cartera pages describe handling of bills of exchange and promissory notes. An overview page introduces the module, with separate pages for Receivables Cartera (bill groups, collections, discounts, factoring) and Payments Cartera (payables documents, payment orders). Start with the VERI*FACTU page that matches your chosen approach, or the Cartera overview if you work with bills.
