On the roadmap

E-invoicing — where VIA ERP stands

Electronic filing is not open. Your invoices already carry what it will ask for.

This page says two things, in this order. What VIA ERP does not do yet, and why. Then what your documents have carried from day one, and what will be asked for unchanged on the day filing opens.

  • Official tax code on every line
  • Tax identifiers on both parties
  • One numbering series per document type

What electronic filing will demand of your documents

Filing isn’t prepared on the day it becomes mandatory. It is prepared in the way your invoices are written today.

  • A laid-out invoice is not data

    A document built to be read gets read, it doesn’t get transmitted. A tax platform expects named fields, not a picture of a table.

  • Yesterday’s rate is not today’s rate

    If a rate change rewrites history, every old document becomes indefensible. What was applied on the day of issue has to stay legible years later.

  • Legal identifiers live in a spreadsheet

    Tax registration, trade registry, VAT number. Until they are fields on the customer record, someone will re-key them one by one when the day comes.

What isn’t open, and why

The module exists in the product and it is open to nobody, on any plan. It was written against an exchange contract that isn’t the one the Tunisian tax platform uses: the document format, the signature applied to it and the transport channel all three differ. Reopening it means rewriting it, not flipping a switch, and that is why no date is announced here.

  • Transmission to the tax platform Filing the document, and the authority’s answer.
  • Electronic signature on the filed document Your company’s certificate applied to the document before it leaves.
  • Acknowledgement tracking The state of every filing, what was refused, and the reason for it.
  • Archiving with legal standing The filed document and its answer kept together, for the period required.
  • The filing dashboard What went out, what is waiting, what has to be resubmitted.

What is already in place at your end

None of what follows is e-invoicing. It is what e-invoicing will ask for, and it is written into your documents today.

Every tax carries its official code, and it is frozen onto the document

In VIA ERP a tax isn’t a rate on its own. It carries its official code, its category and the level it applies at, and that whole set is copied onto the line at the moment the invoice is issued.

The day a rate changes, your old documents don’t move: they keep the code and the rate that were applied to them, with the date they were applied on. That is exactly what electronic filing will ask of a three-year-old invoice.

A rate change doesn’t rewrite your history.

Your documents are already numbered, and both parties already identified

Each document type has its own series: its format, its counter, and when it resets — yearly, quarterly, monthly, or never. You set them once, at the start.

The customer record carries the tax registration, the trade registry number and the VAT number. Your own company carries its own. Both parties to an invoice are therefore already designated by something other than a trading name.

What the document already carries, before any transmission.

This page sells nothing of its own. The two modules below each carry part of what it describes.

What people ask us

Is e-invoicing available in VIA ERP?

No, not yet. Filing with the tax platform is open to no customer, on any plan. We would rather write it here than let you discover it on the day you need it.

What happens if the regulation applies before it is ready?

Your invoices will go on being issued, numbered and posted as they are today, and filing will go through whatever channel the authority imposes. What has to be redone will be limited, because the data a filing asks for is already in your documents.

Will my current invoices have to be re-entered?

No. An invoice issued in VIA ERP is already structured data: its lines, its taxes with their official code, and both parties’ identifiers. There is no laid-out document to read back in order to extract anything from it.

Will I have to change software later?

No. The module will be rewritten inside VIA ERP, over the same invoices and the same tax configuration. What is missing is the filing channel, not the content of the document.

Why not announce a date?

Because it would depend on a specification we don’t publish and on a rewrite whose timing isn’t ours alone. A date that is kept is a commitment; a date announced to reassure is not one.

What can I do now to be ready?

Fill in your customers’ tax registration on their record, check that every tax you apply carries its official code, and settle your numbering series before the next financial year. Those are the only three things that are expensive to fix afterwards.
