The three most common mistakes made during the transition to e-Documents
The transition to e-invoicing may seem like a technical task; the real challenge lies in moving away from the habit of using paper.
1. Perform schema validation after submission
If the document sent to GİB is rejected, the process starts over from the beginning. Validation must be performed before submission; informing the user of the error while they are preparing the document is far better than displaying an error code hours later.
2. Treating the shipping document independently of the invoice
If the link between the e-Shipping Document and the e-Invoice is not established, discrepancies between what is shipped and what is invoiced will only become apparent during inventory.
3. Putting off the archive until “later”
It is necessary to be able to access the document throughout the legal retention period. Trying to resolve this after the transition will cause problems during the first audit.
When the e-Document transition is set up correctly, it becomes invisible: the user issues the invoice, and the rest is handled behind the scenes.
