What Business Central offers as standard, and what our application adds
Microsoft's standard Italian electronic invoicing features compared with the application, point by point.
| Topic | Standard Business Central (Italian localization) | Our application |
|---|---|---|
| XML compliance | The standard XML covers only basic scenarios. Partial support for public administrations. | Ample support for a wide range of invoicing cases, including full support for public administrations. |
| Transmission to SDI | Sales invoices and credit memos are manually exported as FatturaPA XML files. Sending them to SDI requires manual upload of each file on the government portal. | XML automatically created and transmitted to SDI through the accredited intermediary. |
| Digital signature | Not included: exported files are unsigned, for public administrations the signature must be added manually using an external service. | All outbound files signed automatically, including public administration invoices. |
| SDI notifications | Not received in Business Central; delivery and rejection outcomes are checked outside the ERP. | Synced automatically; the current status and every event are visible on the document, with email alerts on rejections. |
| Vendor invoices | Reception of vendor invoices from SDI is not part of the standard localization. | Loaded automatically as document previews; vendors created from the document, lines compiled by rules, purchase order matching. |
| Self-invoices and reverse charge | The self-billing documents do not generate a valid XML file. | The full self-invoice and reverse charge process is handled automatically, TD16 to TD19. |
| Preservation | Not included. | XML files and notifications preserved for 10 years by the intermediary, included in the subscription. |
| Monitoring | No dedicated views. | Role center cues, communication history, detailed logs and a web portal with all exchanged documents. |
