Purchase and sales invoices communication in xml (DatiFattura) in the Italian version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV

September 2017

According to Legislative Decree no. 127/2015, art. 1 and Decree Law 78/2010, art. 21, companies are required to transmit the following information electronically - DATIFATTURA [Invoices issued and Invoices received].

Purchases and Sales Invoices Communication must be transmitted to the Italian Inland Revenue quarterly. Companies must submit data for year 2017 on semiannual basis (every half year). For year 2018 and onwards, companies must submit this data by the last day of the second month following each quarter.

First communication of the Purchases and Sales Invoices Communication transmission in 2017 needs to be done by 18th of September.

This regulatory update provides users with functionality to collect, verify and export data about received and submitted invoices as per requirements defined by Italian Tax Authority (Datifattura requirement for Spesometro communication).

We recommend that you contact your Microsoft Dynamics Partner before installing service packs or hotfixes. It is important to verify that your environment is compatible with the service pack(s), hotfix(es), or download(s) being installed. A service pack, hotfix, or download may cause interoperability issues with customizations, and third-party products that work with your Microsoft Dynamics solutions.

As per the SPA, it is non-compliant for partners to redistribute tax and regulatory updates to ERP customers not enrolled in the Business Ready Enhancement Plan. Partners can verify their customer’s status in VOICE. If they're not enrolled, Partners will need to get them current before they can distribute.
