Introduction

According to Legislative Decree no. 127/2015, art. 1 and Decree Law 78/2010, art. 21, all companies in Italy must transmit electronically in XML format of the Purchases and Sales Invoices Communications (DATIFATTURA) on a quarterly basis.

According to the new legislation changes, it is required:

  • Maintenance of invoices register with additional statuses for export.

  • Generation of required formats in XML.

To meet these new legislation changes requirements in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations there was used and extended an Electronic Messages functionality. This functionality lets users to:

  • Set up specific queries to determine which records should be included into the report.

  • Use additional Number sequences needed to automatically fill in the appropriate XML reports.

  • Maintain a register of invoices to support the process of exporting, re-exporting and cancellation of the Customers and Vendors invoices.

  • Automatically generate the XML reports of the following schemes: sending Customer invoices, sending Vendor invoices, cancelation of the previously registered invoices and re-sending in case of correction, if it's worth mentioning.

  • Store and review all the generated XML reports.

Additionally, to meet the reports requirements, Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations functionality for Italy was extended with the following functions:

  • Reverse charge operations.

  • Exempt reasons differentiation to support "ExemptArt.15", "Edge regime" and "Other exempt" transactions.

  • Credit invoice functionality.

  • New Address Purposes to report a different address for a head company and stable organization of a counterparty.

  • Tax representative type of a relationship in a Global address book to report a different address for a tax representative of a not Italian counterparty.

Work with additional functionality

Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations functionality was extended for Italy to support process needed for correct reporting of Purchase and Sales Invoice communications reports with following:

  • Company address purposes

  • Counterparties' address purposes and Tax representative

  • Reverse charge on sales tax transactions

  • Sales tax Exempt reasons

  • Credit invoicing

Company address purposes

Generally, when a company is an Italian company, no additional setup is needed. According to the official requirements to the Purchase and sales invoices communications, there are three different cases which should be reflected on the report:

  • Italian Company

  • Foreign company with Stable organization in Italy

  • Foreign company with Tax representative in Italy

According to these requirements, the following tags on the report should be filled in:

Tags \ Company type

Italian Company

Foreign company with Stable organization in Italy

N/A

Counterparties' address purposes and Tax representative

Generally, when a counterparty (Customer or Vendor) of the company is an Italian company, no additional setup is needed. According to the official requirements to the Purchase and sales invoices communications, there are three different cases which should be reflected on the report:

  • Italian Counterparty

  • Foreign Counterparty with Stable organization in Italy

  • Foreign Counterparty with Tax representative in Italy

According to this requirement, the following tags on the report should be filled in:

Tags \ Counterparty type

Italian Counterparty

blank

A Party with relation type = "Tax representative" from Global address book

If a counterparty (Vendor or Customer) is a foreign counterparty with Tax representative in Italy and a Tax representative should be set up, the following setup should be done:

  1. Open Organization administration > Global address book > Global address book.

  2. Create new Party (it can be an organization or a person).

  3. Fill in Name with a company or a person name, Organization number – will be used for <IdCodice> tag, and add an address – ISO code will be used as ISO code of a Tax representative of a Counterparty.

  4. On Relationships tab, add a line fill in fields:

Field name

Field description

ID

Tax representative (select from the list)

Party A

Created (on the top of the form) Party

Relationship A to B

Tax representative of (filled in automatically)

Party B

Customer or Vendor for which you are setting up the Tax representative

Reverse charge on sales tax transactions

To identify tax transactions which should be reported as Reverse charge with a value "N6" in the <Natura> tag, Sales tax group table was extended with the Reverse charge field. To use this extension, open Tax > Sales tax > Setup > Sales tax groups, select a sales tax group which will be used for sales tax codes for Reverse charge transactions and mark the Reverse charge check box for the Sales tax code.

This image shows you how to reverse charge on sales tax transactions.

On posting Sales tax transactions, Reverse charge value should be transmitted to Sales Tax transaction table from Sales tax group.

NOTE For the previously created data (first half year 2017) of Sales tax transactions which should be reported as Reverse charge, the related field should be updated in the data base before report generation.

Sales tax Exempt reasons

To identify tax transactions which should be reported with different exemption reason (Exempt Art.15, Edge regime, Other exempt) and reflected correspondingly as different values ("N1", "N5", "N4") of the <Natura> tag, Exempt reason table was extended with a new Exempt reason field.

This image shows sales tax exempt reasons.

To generate correctly Purchase and Sales invoices communication XML report, update Sales tax exempt codes table (Tax > Setup > Sales tax > Sales tax exempt codes) with values in the Exempt reason field. You don't need to update other tables.

Setup of Sales tax exempt reasons in the Sales tax group must be done before posting of sales tax transactions because data in the Purchase and Sales invoices communication XML report is based on information in sales tax transactions. Therefore, if you update Sales tax exempt reasons in Sales tax group after the posting of sales tax transactions, this will not affect resulting records in the Purchase and Sales invoices communication XML report because each sales tax transaction includes information about Sales tax exempt reasons which was defined at moment of posting.

Credit invoicing

To activate this functionality in Accounts payable module, mark the Credit invoicing check box on Accounts payable > Setup > Parameters > Updates tab and in Accounts receivable on Accounts receivable > Setup > Parameters > Updates tab.

See the screenshots below to find this functionality:

1. From General ledger > Journal entries > General journal > Lines:

Algorithms implementing calculation of some tags in reports

Algorithms of identifying values of some tags on the Purchase and Sales Invoices Communications report are produced in this paragraph in purpose of transparency. They are:

  • Document type identification

  • Algorithm of <NATURA> tag identification

  • Algorithm of < EsigibilitaIVA> tag identification

Document type identification

This image shows the Document type identification.

Pic.1 "TipoDocumento" identification algorithm.

To let system differ TD01 (Ordinary invoice) and TD05 document types, the invoice should be created using Credit invoicing functionality. This functionality lets user to set up a reference to an initial invoice establishing the relationship between an initial invoice and created or debit note.

An invoice is identified as Intra-community if it is a Vendor invoice and its counterparty's primary address is in one of the following countries: "AT" OR "BE" OR "BG" OR "CY" OR "HR" OR "DK" OR "EE" OR "FI" OR  "FR" OR "DE" OR "GB" OR "EL" OR "IE" OR "LV" OR "LT" OR "LU" OR "MT" OR "NL" OR "PL" OR "PT" OR "CZ" OR "RO" OR "SK" OR "SI" OR "ES" OR "SE" OR "HU".

Document types TD10 and TD11 are not applicable for Customers invoices.

Algorithm of <NATURA> tag identification

Review the algorithm of <NATURA> tag identification to check the setup:

***

For all the Customers and Vendors invoices:

If SalesTaxTransaction.ReverseCharge = 'Yes' --> N6

Else if TaxType = 'Standard' --> no tag

Else if TaxCountryRegionType = 'EU' --> N7

Else if TaxType = 'NotSubjectToVAT' --> N2

Else if TaxType = 'Zero' --> N3

Else if TaxType = 'Exempt'

If SalesTaxTransaction.ExemptReason = 'ExemptArt.15' --> N1

Else --> N4

Otherwise --> N3

***

Where "TaxType" is VAT type field on Sales tax codes > Calculation:

This image shows the VAT type field.

"TaxCountryRegionType" is Country/region type field on Sales tax codes > Report setup:

This image shows the Country/region type field.

Algorithm of < EsigibilitaIVA> tag identification

Review the algorithm to of <EsigibilitaIVA> tag identification to check the setup:

***

For each tax transaction included into the reports if Split payment parameter is marked,

Then EsigibilitaIVA = "S"

Else if for related Sales tax code Conditional sales tax is not empty

Then EsigibilitaIVA = "D"

Else EsigibilitaIVA = "I"

***

Where "Split payment parameter" is a parameter on Tax > Sales tax > Sales tax group:

This image shows how to enable the Split payment parameter.

"Sales tax code Conditional sales tax" is a parameter on Sales tax code:

This image shows the Payment sales type code field.
