Electronic invoicing —the Electronic Tax Documents, or DTE— has become part of the daily operation of companies in El Salvador. More than a formality, when properly integrated it's an opportunity to eliminate double data entry and speed up your billing.
What is a DTE?
A DTE is a receipt (invoice, tax credit, credit note, etc.) issued and signed electronically, transmitted to the Ministry of Finance and validated online. It replaces paper and is recorded in a traceable way.
Where does Digifact come in?
Many companies use Digifact as a provider to stamp and transmit their DTEs. The problem appears when each document has to be entered manually into the portal: it's slow, repetitive and error-prone.
The key: integrate, don't re-type
The efficient way to work with electronic invoicing is to have your sales system send the DTE automatically, without anyone copying it by hand. That gives you:
- Fewer errors (no re-typing).
- More speed at the counter and at closing.
- Compliance without headaches.
- A better experience for your team and your customers.
Checklist to choose your solution
- Does it issue DTEs integrated into the point of sale (not in a separate portal)?
- Does it connect with your provider (Digifact or another) via services?
- Does it handle contingencies and retries if the tax authority doesn't respond?
- Does it integrate with your inventory and accounting?
