E-invoicing and originals

Tadbir can validate and export electronic invoices and credit notes locally. It does not transmit documents to a tax authority or the Peppol network. A successful local validation does not mean a recipient or authority has accepted the document.

Set up a profile

1. As Admin or Super Admin, open Finance → E-invoicing.
2. Choose your transaction context: business-to-business, business-to-consumer, or business-to-government. Country alone does not select it.
3. Follow the links to complete your organization's and customer's fiscal identities. Check legal names, countries, tax/registration identifiers, and any electronic addresses the profile requires.
4. Select an available profile, read its limitations, and save the activation settings.

Accounting and Auditor users can inspect setup; activation settings require an administrator.

Profile	Current scope
Generic UBL 2.1	XML syntax validation; no country-specific qualification.
EN 16931 UBL / CII	European core rules in either XML format; no country-specific qualification.
Factur-X EN 16931	PDF/A-3B original with embedded CII XML. Download it from the e-invoice export history, separately from the ordinary invoice PDF.
Peppol BIS Billing 3	Requires the pinned official rules ZIP uploaded by your administrator through the setup page. Both parties' electronic addresses and a buyer reference are required. Transmission remains external.
Tunisia TEIF	Draft, unavailable for activation/export pending qualification.

Amounts follow currency precision, including three decimals for TND and none for JPY. EN 16931, Factur-X EN 16931, and Peppol profiles reject currencies requiring more than two decimals. Generic UBL retains the document currency's precision.

Validate and export an invoice

1. Open an invoice's E-invoice card.
2. On a draft, choose Pre-validate and correct reported findings before sending.
3. Send the invoice to assign its number and freeze its fiscal data. When e-invoicing is enabled, missing required fiscal data or unavailable identity lookups can block sending.
4. On an issued invoice, choose Validate, review the findings, then Export.
5. Download the original from export history. Each entry shows its date, profile, actor, and a hash prefix.

Issued fiscal data stays fixed even if you later edit the organization or customer. Older invoices without an issuance snapshot cannot be reconstructed from today's details. Auditors can read export history and download originals; creation/export actions require write access. Previously exported originals remain downloadable after cancellation.

Export a credit note

Create and issue the credit note first. Its E-invoice button opens the same validation and export card, using its own issuance snapshot and reference to the credited invoice.

Keep your originals

Open Finance → E-invoicing → Keeping your e-invoice originals and download all originals as a ZIP regularly, and before closing your account. Store them under your organization's retention policy. Tadbir is not a legal archive.
