A country specific update is available for electronic invoices for Austria in Microsoft Dynamics AX

Introduction

This article describes that a country specific update is available for electronic invoices for Austria in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Service Pack 1.

As from 1 January 2014, the Austrian Government mandates structured e-invoicing to the public sector. This means, contracting partners such as suppliers and service providers trading goods and services with the Federal departments are obligated to issue and submit structured electronic invoices (e-invoices). Due to the Austrian IKT Consolidation Act (IKTKonG), paper based invoices submitted by suppliers from 1.1.2014 will no longer be accepted.

Companies are required to submit e-invoices considering country specific requirements and European standards for e-invoicing. Due to the availability of the Austrian XML-invoice standard ebInterface, e-invoicing is already increasingly being used in Austria.

Organizations gain a competitive advantage against its competitors and it will be favored by trading partners who already conduct most of their business electronically. By automating their invoicing process companies will relieve the accounts payable and receivable personnel of repetitive and low value-added tasks like manual data keying of invoice information into internal systems, manual reconciliation, and focus more on customer service, process optimization, thus improving internal communication with other departments.

A growing number of governments are committed to fostering e-Invoicing adoption through national and European e-Procurement initiatives. A harmonized legal framework and the adoption of a common global standard are two fundamental conditions for reaping the potential benefits of e-Invoicing.

PEPPOL (Pan-European Public e-Procurement On-Line) is a strategic large scale pilot project launched by the European Commission and several EU Member States to harmonize and encourage the use of electronic public procurement by businesses and SMEs in particular.

PEPPOL supports the implementation of highly efficient business and public procurement by paving the way with best practice content standards, common processes and an open exchange platform across Europe. The PEPPOL infrastructure is expected to become the backbone for e-Procurement in Europe with a transport network that allows the private sector to bid for public sector contracts anywhere in the EU.

Federal Departments accept e-invoices in:

- Format ebInterface (www.ebinterface.at) (Austrian Standard)

- Format PEPPOL (www.peppol.eu) (PEPPOL Standard)

- PDF Format is not supported

Submission methods via login to USP:

- entering invoices manually in the online invoice formula

- manual Uploading e-invoices

- automated transmission via Webservice

Submission methods via PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure automated transmission of e-invoices in PEPPOL format

The solution in Microsoft Dynamics AX for e-invoices is based on PEPPOL format for Austria.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be met before you install the hotfix for Austria electronic invoicing:

• The Austrian configuration key is activated.

• A three-character International Organization for Standardization (ISO) currency code is defined for all the currencies in the Currencies form (General ledger > Setup > Currency > Currencies). This ISO code is used for electronic invoicing.

• The license key for Application Integration Framework (AIF) is available, and AIF is set up for electronic e-invoicing.

• The inventory units are set up according to the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business Information Content Management Group (UN/CEFACT ICG) standards.

Setting up electronic e-invoicing

Complete the following setup tasks before you generate electronic invoices in the PEPPOL format:

• Set up a legal entity in the Legal entities form. For more information, see “Legal entities (form)” in the Help.

• Set up the country/region and the ISO code in the Legal entities form. The ISO codes are used for electronic invoicing. For more information, see “Address setup (form)” in the Help.

• Set up exchange rates in the Currency exchange rates form. For more information, see “Currency exchange rates (form)” in the Help. Verify that the value in the ISO currency code field for the currency code that is used for electronic invoicing (for example, EUR for Euro) complies with the three-character ISO standard.

• Set up sales tax codes for electronic invoices in the Sales tax codes form. For more information, see “Create various kinds of sales tax codes” in the Help.

• Set up the inventory units, according to the UN/CEFACT ICG standards, in the Units form, if required for your organization. For more information, see “Units (form)” in the Help.

• Set up an enhanced integration port. For more information, see “Create, edit, or delete an enhanced integration port” in the Microsoft Dynamics AX Developer’s Guide.

You must also complete the following setup procedures before you can generate electronic invoices in the electronic format:

• Configure Microsoft Dynamics AX for electronic e-invoicing

• Set up customer accounts for electronic e-invoicing

• Set up AIF for electronic e-invoicing

• Set up a batch group for electronic e-invoicing

• Set up batch processing for electronic e-invoicing

• Set up recurring batch jobs

• Set up a funding source associated with eInvoice parameters for a project contract

Configure Microsoft Dynamics AX for electronic e-invoicing


The electronic invoices that you generate include required information, such as the contact person, invoice number, and address information. Validation rules are applied when invoices are generated so that you can verify that the correct information has been entered. If you find errors, you can correct the errors before you submit the invoices to the government.

You must set up folders to save the error messages, the .xml files, and the PEPPOL files. Set up the following folder structure in a shared location that is accessible from the Application Object Server (AOS) computer and from any client computers that are used as batch servers in your system.

For project invoices:

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Project\Error

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Project\Processed files

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Project\Source

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Project\Target

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Project\XSLT

For sales invoices:

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Sales\Error

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Sales\Processed files

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Sales\Source

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Sales\Target

• \\Server\PEPPOL\Sales\XSLT

The folders are used as follows:

• Error – Used to save error messages that are generated when the .xml file is converted into PEPPOL standards.

• Processed files – Used to save documents after they are processed. The documents are moved from the Source folder to this folder.

• Source – Used to save the .xml file that is generated by Microsoft Dynamics AX.

• Target – Used to save the PEPPOL file after the .xml file has been processed.

• XSLT – Used to contain the eProjectInvoice.xsl or eSalesInvoice.xsl file.

Set up customer accounts for electronic e-invoicing

Use the Customers form to specify the address and contact details for each company that you need to generate electronic invoices for. You can create contacts in the Contacts form and assign the contact to a customer account. The contact information is included when you generate an electronic invoice for a customer. For more information, see “Customers (form)” in the Help.

1. Click Accounts receivable > Common > Customers > All customers to open the All customers list page.

2. Double-click a customer account, or on the Action Pane, click Customer to create a customer account. For more information, see “Create a customer record” in the Help.

3. Click the Invoice and delivery FastTab, and then select the eInvoice check box to use electronic invoicing for customer transactions.

Set up AIF for electronic e-invoicing

Use the Outbound ports form to set up AIF settings to generate electronic e-invoices. You can also create an outbound port and configure the services and adapters for the outbound port.

You must scan for new adapters and services before you configure outbound ports for the first time. The port configuration is affected when there is a change in Application Object Tree (AOT). You must also perform these scans each time a change that affects the port configuration is made to AOT.

1. Click System administration > Setup > Services and Application Integration Framework > Outbound ports to open the Outbound ports form.

2. Create an outbound port, and then in the Port name field, enter a name for the outbound port.
