Solution overview

When the new requirement goes live in 2019, all sales and supplier invoices that are sent to customers and received from suppliers are transported through the Italian SDI web service.

The Infor Italian Tax Authority Connector is an independent module that will process all communication between ERP and the SDI web service. The connector sends sales invoices to the web service, then the web service responds with the status of the sales invoices. The connector also receives purchase orders that are sent to the web service by suppliers.

This diagram shows the high-level end-to-end processing:

The connector processing consists of these four process flows:

Infor Localization Services supports the Coop method. Although Coop can handle multiple invoices for a customer at a time, the tax connector handles invoices that are sent and processed in batches of 1, for example, one XML is for one invoice.

The tax connector can process requests directly from an ERP or through the Infor Localization Services Platform (LSP). ERPs may publish BODs for use in the LSP as part of the solution, or they may opt to communicate directly with the tax connector, creating the Fattura-PA sales invoice from within the ERP.
