ERP Tax Integration Flow

A robust ERP integration must track statuses of outbound documents and mark all inbound documents as having been processed (business documents, as well as response documents)

Fetching of inbound documents (billing document or response documents), it is done in the classical way (polling, acting on webhooks for direct integration, or receiving via the eB2B protocol for service providers).

When querying the pending inbound documents, they can be differentiated based on the transactionGroup parameter and the business logic based on it:

  • SubmitInvoice for the inbound invoice. Use GET /transaction/submit-invoice to fetch.
  • CorrectWithCredit for the inbound credit note. Use GET /transaction/correct-with-credit to fetch.
  • SubmitMessageResponse for the MLR and eMLR documents (extended MLRs). Use GET /transaction/submit-message-response to fetch.

Supplier flow

ERP system on supplier side must, after submitting the invoice, be aware of the tax administration's response for the reporting of that invoice.

Later on, when payment is received, they must register the payment of the invoice and be aware of the tax administration's response related to that registration.

In FiskApplicajia, they should have full overview of what has been reported.

More details are provided in the sequence diagrams below.

Customer flow

ERP system on customer side must, after importing the invoice, be aware of the tax administration's response for the reporting of that invoice.

If customer wants to reject an invoice, they must register the rejection of the invoice and be aware of the tax administration's response related to that registration.

In FiskApplicajia, they should have full overview of what has been reported and if there are any misalignments between what seller and buyer report.

More details are provided in the sequence diagrams below.

Sending e-invoices (supplier)

Flow between ERP system and Unimaze for outbound flow using MLR response messages.

Processing the content of MLR and *eMLR documents is optional before marking them as delivered (imported), but at least pay attention to the final statuses AP (accept) and RE (reject):

📘

Submitting the tax report only happens after the e-invoice has been delivered.

The type of report is determined by:

  • Fiscalization report if the receiving party is able to to receive the HR-UBL invoice or credit note syntax. (Evidentiraj eRačun)
  • Taxable delivery report otherwise e.g. when delivered as an e-mail. (Evidentiraj podatke za isporuke za koje nije izdan eRačun).

Register a rejection (customer)

The customer must report to the Tax Administration any invoices that are rejected.

📘

It is not possible to receive an event on the supplier side from the network when invoices are rejected by the customer.

  • In most cases, customer and supplier interact manually regarding the dispute of invoices.
  • Information about rejected invoices is available in the Tax Admin FiskApplicajia.

The flow between ERP system and Unimaze is as described below.
