How to send e-invoices from the CRM to the national tax authority

Invoices issued in the CRM are converted into UBL 2.1 XML files following the e-invoicing (Peppol BIS 3.0 / EN 16931) standard. The document is validated locally, then uploaded via the tax authority API to the SPV using the company's digital certificate. The system tracks the upload index, monitors the status, and archives the official response with the invoice.

Since many local accounting systems like Saga do not expose a public API, a true integration is achieved through automated file exchange: the CRM exports invoices and payments in the required format, while master data and balances are imported back.

What SAF-T means for a distribution company

SAF-T, submitted via the D406 declaration to the national tax authority, requires the structured transmission of accounting and operational data: customer, supplier and item catalogues, sales and purchase documents, stocks and payments.

Cloud CRM or on-premise: which to choose

Cloud models offer subscription-based pricing, included updates, and rapid deployment without local servers. On-premise requires initial capital investment, direct infrastructure control, and full responsibility for updates and backups.
