Folio management add-on
Automate the entire folio lifecycle, including calculating demand, requesting new ranges from the Servicio de Impuestos Internos (SII), distributing folios, and canceling rejected folios.
This is an add-on module that requires a separate contract and only the Professional Services (PS) team can activate. To enable this module, contact your Sovos account representative.
Folio management is one of the most operationally complex aspects of electronic invoicing in Chile. The SII limits the number of folios it grants per request based on your company’s average issuance volume over the last three months. Folios for taxable documents expire after six months. For large companies with high document volumes and multiple POS terminals running 24 hours a day, keeping track of all of this manually is not feasible.
This module automates that entire process. When active, it:
-
Tracks available folios for each document type.
-
Calculates how many folios to request based on your actual issuance average.
-
Requests new ranges from the SII automatically when stock drops below a configured threshold.
-
Distributes folios across integration systems (manual, BackOffice, POS).
-
Cancels folios from rejected documents so they’re correctly accounted for at the SII.
-
Sends notifications for low stock, failed requests, and canceled folios.
How the threshold calculation works
The system calculates the request amount based on how many documents you issue per day on average, multiplied by the number of days of autonomy you configure. For example, if you issue 1,000 invoices per day and set 10 days of autonomy, the system requests 10,000 folios each time it replenishes. This keeps your requests proportional to your actual operation, which matters because the SII monitors for inconsistent folio requests.
