Electronic invoicing for Latin America: 4 mistakes to avoid

electronic invoice, ERP, LATAM, SAP

These are the common mistakes to avoid while choosing an electronic invoicing solution for Latin America and be identified as key pain points:

Total Cost of Operations

Multiple solutions to be implemented and multiple contract partners to be supported.

2. Usability

Multiple monitors, configuration, and processes

3. Data Inconsistency

Adjustments done on 3^rdparty software are not reflected in back-end SAP system.

4. Ineffective Support

High effort for synchronization of legal changes from multiple counterparts.

Lack of process expertise from service provider.

To avoid these challenges, we recommend the use of SAP Document Compliance solution to keep compliant. The eDocument Framework was developed by SAP Globalization Services and brings the following benefits:

To comply with local regulations mandating the use of electronic documents to be sent to business partners and/or legal authorities.
Facilitates realization of different local requirements:
- By leveraging their similarities
- Ensuring high standards
- Consistent user experience and lower operational cost

One Solution

End-to-end approach.

Unified user experience

Reduced set of tools.

One Globalization Network

Professional processes and services.

Get to know our client’s use case

Origen has a long-time customer where we are in charge of AMS support for LATAM Localization for all countries where they operate. The customer is still using 3rd party software for electronic invoice in Colombia with one provider and another for Mexico and Argentina, as a result they must use multiple monitors for electronic invoicing, controlling, and submitting of invoice to their customer base. Because they manage operations that they perform centrally for the region, this situation causes ineffective and expensive support with high efforts incurred plus delays of synchronization of legal changes between multiple 3rd party providers.

As an example, in Argentina, they spent several months trying to adopt the FCE (Electronic Credit invoice mandate) new regulation and validations required by AFIP on their external software that were not automatically reflected in the back end and as a result, they were able to use it 2 months after the regulation was first in place.

Fortunately, Origen made the recommendation for them to handle the requirement in SAP Document Compliance for all the mentioned Countries: Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico (for e-invoice plus Payment Complement) and for Chile and Peru to consolidate on a single platform.

Document Compliance a solution integrated with the backend.

For companies running SAP ECC or S/4HANA with Latin American operations, Origen’s experience in implementing SAP Document Compliance offering can help end customers use a single SAP Platform for LATAM for electronic invoicing and other electronic documents like withholding certificates, delivery notes, payment complement, etc.

Previous Year’s Bookkeeping Recovery Now Mandatory in SPED ECD

As in the SPED ECF, recovering bookkeeping from the previous year also becomes mandatory in the SPED ECD

Since its emergence in 2015 (calendar year 2014), SPED ECF has brought news in relation to the automatic generation / crossing of data from the recovery of other digital deeds. In its first version, the SPED ECF validator (PVA) required the recovery of the SPED ECD file of the same calendar year.

This generated a dependence on the ECF in relation to the ECD, to fill in account balance data in the records of blocks C, E, J, K and L. Such dependence also increased the rigor of the quality of generation of the ECD, since the validator ( PVA) of SPED ECF has already appeared to be more rigorous in the validation of accounting data than the SPED ECD validator itself.

Throughout its evolution, the SPED ECF validator also started to demand the recovery of the ECF bookkeeping from the previous calendar year, in order to fill in data for e-LALUR / e-LACS balances in the E and M records. this feature will also apply in the SPED ECD.

From layout 8 (calendar year 2019 and special situations 2020), there is the recovery functionality of the previous ECD in PVA (version 7.0). It is worth mentioning that the recovery of the previous ECD is mandatory and must be performed by the user in the PVA itself, after importing the ECD file for the calendar year 2019 and special situations of 2020, through the menu “Bookkeeping / Recover Previous ECD”. After the recovery of the previous ECD, filling in data from Block C (Recovery of the previous ECD) is done automatically.

Check it out below:
