Introduction

As of July 1, 2022, eInvoicing became mandatory in Vietnam under Circular 78/2021/TT-BTC and Decree 123/2020/ND-CP. To comply with these regulations, businesses must submit e-Invoice data to tax authorities either directly or through authorized providers like Viettel, VNPT, BKAV, and MISA.

EInvoices must be in Vietnamese, with optional foreign language translations in parentheses. Data transmission must be in XML format. Importantly, The delivery note cum internal transport slip is a document that is printed, issued, used, and managed like an invoice.

To simplify this process, Ekino Vietnam has created an API Connector (eTool) for Sage X3, facilitating seamless integration with authorized e-Invoice providers. Ready-to-use connectors are available for Viettel, VNPT, BKAV and MISA, with custom development options for other providers. This solution ensures compliance while streamlining e-Invoicing processes for businesses using Sage X3.
