Product Updates 419, 418, and 417: FatturaPA XML format enhanced to support additional item and invoice information (Italian legislation)

To support the additional information of items and invoices which will be reflected in the FatturaPA XML format, the following enhancements have been made in Exact Globe Next: 

Company data settings

Two new fields have been added under the E-Invoice section of the Details screen (accessible via System ➔ General ➔ Settings ➔ Company data settings, and by clicking the Details button). 

The following are the descriptions of the fields:

• Item code type setting: Type or select the item code type at this field. The item code that has been selected at this field will be reflected at the <CodiceTipo> element in the XML file.
  
  Note: This setting is optional. The field can be left blank when you do not want to provide a definition for the <CodiceTipo> element for specific items or must be defined with the code of an item assortment code. For example:

When the Item code type setting has been defined with a code of the dedicated assortment, and this assortment has been defined in the item card, the value at the element will be retrieved from the value of the assortment from the item. As displayed in the given example above, the value in the element is “1111a”.

The following will be displayed at the element based on certain conditions. The conditions will be applicable when the setting for Item code type has not been defined with a code of the dedicated assortment, or in the case when the dedicated assortment has not been defined in the item card.

- The value “Codice Art. Cliente” will be displayed at the element when the customer’s item code has been specified for the debtors, and
- the value “Codice Art. Fornitore” will be displayed at the element when the customer’s item code has not been specified for the debtors.

• Sup. Item code setting: Select the supplementary item code at this field. Two options are available for selection, Item code and Search code. Select Item code to use the item code that has been defined in the item maintenance screen, or select Search code to use the search code that has been defined in the item maintenance screen. The value of the option that has been selected at this field will be reflected at the <CodiceValore> element in the XML file. 

The following changes have been made in the FatturaPA XML format:

E-mail address of the invoice issuer

The new <Contatti> element has been added to reflect the e-mail address of the main contact person of the account that has been defined in the company settings. The element will not be reflected if there is no e-mail address of the main contact person.

Changes <DatiDDT> element block

The <RiferimentoNumeroLinea> element in the <DatiDDT> element block will not be reflected for service items. The <DatiDDT> element block will not be displayed when all invoice items are service items.

The <DatiDDT> element block will not be reflected if an invoice is generated from the sales order fulfilment of a dropship warehouse.

Supplier item code

As of this product update, the <CodiceArticolo> element block will always be displayed in the XML invoice lines when the item code is present in the respective lines of the invoice entry. As such, the values in the elements of this block will be based on the logic that has been implemented for the Item code type and Sup. Item code settings.

Text items or lines with long descriptions

The item description is reflected at the <Descrizione> element under the <DettaglioLinee> element. The following table illustrates how the <Descrizione> element will be reflected for the different item or invoice line type.

Serial and batch items

A new element, <AltriDatiGestionali>, has been added the <DettaglioLinee> element. The new element will reflect the serial or batch item code, and the serial or batch number.

The element will not be reflected in the XML file if none of the items are serial or batch items, or when no serial or batch number is provided for the serial or batch items.

Net price with discounts in invoice lines

To avoid the rejection of the e-invoice submission, the calculation of the net amount after discount has been aligned with the calculation logic of the Sistema di Interscambio (SDI) platform. The final net price will be reflected at the <PrezzoUnitario> element.

VAT code with 0%

The criteria for the VAT grouping at the <DatiRiepilogo> element has been changed to include the VAT code, VAT percentage, and “Natura”. The change is to cater for the usage of the different VAT codes with the same VAT percentage and “Natura”.

The value of the <RiferimentoNormativo> element will reflect the VAT code description when the VAT code with 0% has been set for the “Natura”.
