The Italian fiscal registry integration sends company invoices to the Italian government's SDI platform, i.e., Sistema di Interscambio, where they validate and distribute them to the invoice recipients. You can use the integration in two different ways:

• Online mode: The easiest way to use the integration; once you connect to it, it sends invoices automatically to the SDI platform, and you don't need to do anything else. Mews invoicing intermediary charges you a small fee, based on the number of invoices that you send.
• Offline mode: If you want to manually send the invoices yourself, or if you have your own third-party company that can send them, you can use the integration offline. It then generates your reports, but doesn't send them automatically, but it is now your responsibility to do so.

• To use the integration in online mode, you need to gain credentials from Mews invoicing intermediary. Contact your account manager and they can connect you. 
• To use the integration in offline mode does not require credentials.

In this article you can learn about:

• Creating the integration
• Switching between Offline and Online modes
• Managing which bills the integration reports
• Using the integration
  • Managing profiles
  • Managing your property settings
  • Checking that your records are correct

Creating the integration

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace.
2. In the Fiscalization section, click Explore under Italian fiscal registry integration. Click Connect integration.
3. In the Tax identifier and Company name fields, enter the official tax ID and name that your property is registered with.
4. In the Mode filter, choose online or offline as per your choice:

• If you choose to use the integration in online mode, fill in the Bridge key and Password fields with the credentials from Mews invoicing intermediary.
• If you choose to use the integration in offline mode, leave the Bridge key and Password fields blank.

5. Under Options,

• Select Report bills, if you also want to report bills to the SDI.
• Select Restrict by counter to restrict which bills the integration reports, then select from your bill counters under Counters. If you select a counter, the integration reports bills associated with it.

6. Click Create. On successful creation of the integration, Mews redirects you to the My subscriptions tab.
7. In your list of active integrations, locate the Italian fiscal registry integration and click on Edit to go to the settings page.
8. Select the Enabled checkbox. Click Save.

Switching between Offline and Online modes

If you choose the Offline mode while creating the integration, you can modify it later by switching the Mode to Online or vice versa.

• When switching the mode to Online, you need to enter valid credentials. Once you validate the integration, it can then report the invoices successfully to the government via the API..
• When switching the mode to Offline, you don't need to enter credentials, as the integration does not report invoices to the government.
• Integrations with Offline Mode,
  • Run the necessary closing checks when closing a bill/invoice.
  • Create Fiscal records when closing bills/ invoices and create them with Success state. You can view fiscal records by visiting the Fiscal record report.
  • DO NOT send any information to government APIs.

Note: Reloading the screen clears the credential fields, which means you have to re-enter them every time you make a change on the integration configuration page. 
 

Managing which bills the integration reports

You don't need to report some bill types to the Italian government. You can use bill counters to differentiate between bill types, automatically report the bills that you should report, and exclude the ones that you shouldn't report.

Before you set this up, you need to:

1. Create the Italian fiscal registry integration, and
2. Create your bill counters. [ADD LINKS HERE ONCE PUBLISHED] You can learn more about creating bill counters for bills and invoices here and more about creating bill counters for credit notes here.

Then,

1. Go to the main menu  > Marketplace.
2. Click My subscriptions.
3. Click Edit next to your Italian fiscal registry integration to go to the settings page.
4. Under Options, select Restrict by counter.
5. Under Counters, select the counters that are for bills you want to report to the SDI.

Note: The integration reports only bills that use these counters. Those are usually Fatture and Note di Credito as the fiscal printer integration reports Ricevute.
 

6. Click Save.

Using the integration

Managing profiles

This integration validates company profiles to ensure that it provides all necessary information. You won't be able to close company invoices until you complete the following fields:

• Name
• Tax identifier: VAT number, i.e., partita IVA or non-European tax number
• Additional tax identifier: Enter your codice destinatario.
• Address

Managing your property settings

Before you can use the integration, you have to ensure to provide your property's address in Mews Operations.

1. Go to the main menu  > Settings > Property.
2. Complete the following fields:

• Address line 1
• Address line 2, if applicable
• City
• Postal code
• Country
• State/ Province

3. Click Save.

Checking that your records are correct

If you are using the integration online, you can check whether the integration generated the invoices correctly and successfully sent in the Fiscal Record Report. If you're using it offline, then you can use this report to access your invoices in the required XML format before you send them.

1. Go to the main menu  > Finance > Fiscal record report.
2. Check the status of the records listed in the report. Note: For a record listed with any status except Success, you can hover over the status badge for more information.

If the records were successful, the next step depends on whether you are using the integration in online or offline mode.

• In Online mode, the integration sent the invoices successfully and you have nothing left to do.
• In Offline mode, the integration generated the invoices successfully, and it is your responsibility to send them to the government's SDI platform.
