Send documents in bulk (Work Orders)

Learn about Work Orders in Paperless Colombia, including how they process documents through the three stages of generation, DIAN submission, and distribution.

A Work Order (Orden de Trabajo, or OT) takes an input file from your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and generates a set of electronic tax documents. Each Work Order starts with an upload, then goes through three stages: Generación, Enviar a DIAN, and Distribución.

  • Start and finish timestamps for each stage.

  • Number of documents processed with and without errors.

  • The sequence range (first and last document number).

  • A progress bar showing completion percentage.

  • The name of who created the process.
