Issue invoices in e-Fatura

Use the e-Fatura outbound workflow to transmit invoices to registered recipients through the Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığı (GİB).

The e-Fatura issuance process follows this path:

Step 1: Supplier creates the Standard Business Document (SBD) document

  • Create a Standard Business Document Header (SBDH) with sender and receiver identifiers (Vergi Kimlik Numarası (VKN) with Authority="TR").

  • Use the same UUID as the CorrelationID in SenderDocumentId.

  • Use "E-Fatura" for Mapping.OutputSchema.

  • Use "outbound" for ProcessType.

  • Use "BusinessToBusiness" for BusinessCategory.

Step 2: Supplier submits the invoice to the Indirect Tax API

Send the SBD (SBDH + Legal document) using a POST request to the /documents endpoint.

Step 3: Sovos Cloud validates the document

Sovos Cloud validates the document

Step 4: Sovos generates the ID and submits the invoice to GIB

Sovos generates the official invoice ID and submits the invoice to GIB.

Step 5: GIB clears and returns the invoice

GIB validates and delivers the invoice to the recipient's integrator.

Step 6: Sovos archives the invoice

Sovos stores the cleared invoice with the GIB-assigned UUID for 10 years.
