E-Invoice EE¶

What is E-Invoice EE?¶

1. E-Invoice EE is the Estonian e-invoice network that allows exchanging e-invoices between all legal entities registered in Estonia.
   More information on the RTK e-invoice portal: https://www.rtk.ee/saldoandmikud-finantsnaitajad/saldoandmike-kasutajad/e-arved
2. Docura allows you to send and receive e-invoices directly from your accounting software (ERP).
   Some ERP integrations have technical peculiarities that must be taken into account.
   Example: Erply integration with e-invoices: https://redmine.docura.net/projects/docura-manual-en/wiki/Erply#02-E-invoicePeppol

01 RIK. Registering Docura as a service provider in the Business Register¶

01 Sending and formatting e-invoices in Docura. Format specifics¶

1. E-invoices sent via Docura go directly to the Estonian e-invoice network.
   Sending e-invoices is also possible without registration in the Business Register — it is enough to activate e-invoice sending in the Docura environment.
2. Examples of activating e-invoice sending in Docura:
   
   
   
3. Using the Docura or E-invoice format
   1. Docura supports several formats:
      E-INVOICE (standard e-invoice format)
      Docura / E-Document (alternative format)
      If necessary, other formats can be used as well, by agreement.

1. Best way to send an e-invoice: If the recipient accepts the E_INVOICE format, the invoice data is forwarded unchanged.
   In that case, make sure that the invoice ID starts with the word "docura", followed by the invoice number (no space).
   Example:
   

   <Invoice sellerRegnumber="10731489" invoiceId="docuraGB600956" regNumber="10243330">
   

   
   
2. If the recipient does not accept the E_INVOICE format, Docura automatically converts the invoice into a suitable format (e.g. E-Document → E_INVOICE).

02 Receiving e-invoices via Docura¶

1. Activation in Docura
   To receive e-invoices, the corresponding service must be activated in the Docura environment.
   
2. Confirmation in the Business Register
   After activation, an e-mail about changing the e-invoice operator is sent to the e-mail address of the contact person indicated in the Business Register (usually a member of the management board).
   The letter may arrive within 1–2 days.
   
3. Confirm the service provider in the Business Register:
   Log in: https://ariregister.rik.ee/
   In the menu select: My dashboard, and then E-invoice receiving service providers
   Under the "E-invoice receiving service providers" section select e-arveldaja and confirm.
   1. After confirmation, the following status is displayed:
      "Accepts e-invoices, service provider: e-arveldaja".
