Facturae for a public-sector client

Invoices to a public body need Facturae 3.2 via FACe and three DIR3 codes on the contact. The app can issue that file when the codes are there. A PDF to the inbox is not FACe.

FACe, not the inbox

The file is Facturae 3.2 and the channel is FACe. Sending the PDF to the administration’s email does not complete that send. The three DIR3 codes have to be on the contact.

  • Facturae 3.2.
  • The FACe channel.
  • Three DIR3 codes on the contact.

The app issues the file when the codes are there

With the three codes on the contact, the app can generate the Facturae. Without them, there is no FACe send that counts. Working with the firm is on the gestoría page.
