To meet electronic invoicing requirements in Italy, you fiscalize company bills and invoices using the SDI (Sistema di Interscambio) fiscal registry integration in Mews Operations. You do this when you close a bill or issue an invoice for an Italian company reported through a counter configured for SDI. This ensures Mews sends the invoice through SDI, Italy's national exchange system, to meet local compliance requirements. You complete this task in Mews Operations as part of your regular billing workflow.

 

Note: SDI applies to invoices issued to or by Italian companies with a valid Partita IVA and Destination Code (Codice Destinatario).

 

In this article, you can learn about:

• How to fiscalize bills and invoices for Italy using the SDI fiscal registry integration in Mews Operations
  • Prerequisites
  • Step 1: Identify if the bill or invoice needs fiscalization
  • Step 2: Enter the required buyer details
  • Step 3: Select the SDI counter and close the bill or issue the invoice
  • Step 4: Check the fiscal record report to confirm fiscalization
  • Step 5: Handle validation errors and reissue the invoice

 

1. Set up the SDI fiscal registry integration. See How to set up the SDI fiscal registry integration in Mews Operations.

2. Configure dedicated bill counters to report through SDI, separate from any fiscal printer counters.

3. If you want invoices to include the IBAN, BIC, or bank name, add your bank details. In Mews Operations, go to the main menu > Settings > Property > Finance > Accounting configuration.

4. Ensure the company profile includes a valid Italian tax identifier (Partita IVA) and the Destination Code (Codice Destinatario).

 

Check if the Owner of the bill or invoice is an Italian company, or associate the bill or invoice with an Italian company profile in Mews.

 

Note: Mews fiscalizes bills and invoices reported through a counter configured for SDI. If the integration is enabled but is not configured with a specific counter, it reports for all bill counters.

 

Before you close the bill or issue the invoice, ensure you enter:

• Company name
• Email address
• Full company address, including Italy
• Tax identifier (Partita IVA)
• Destination Code (Codice Destinatario)

 

Note: If any of these details are missing or incorrect, for example, an invalid tax identifier, SDI returns a validation error and does not deliver the invoice. See Step 5.

 

 

1. Create the reservation or bill for the company.

2. In Review before closing, under General settings, select the counter configured for SDI, not the default or fiscal-printer counter, so Mews reports the bill through SDI.

3. Close the bill or issue the invoice.

Note: Mews also fiscalizes credit notes reported through an SDI counter.

 

1. In Mews Operations, go to the main menu > Finance > Fiscal record report. Check this report regularly to track delivery status.

2. Open the fiscalized record. If the State shows Success, you see the SDI outcome received date, the SDI notification, for example, confirmation that SDI delivered the invoice to the recipient, a QR code confirming the invoice was archived, and a Download XML link for the Fattura elettronica file.

 

3. If the State shows Error instead, go to Step 5.

 

1. If the fiscal record's State shows Error, the SDI notification field shows the reason, for example, "customer_tax_id_code: Invalid Italian tax identity code."

2. Correct the issue on the company profile or bill, for example, fix the tax identifier or the Destination Code.

3. Reissue the bill: reopen it, correct the information, then close it and send it again through the SDI counter.
