Israel
Enabling support for Israel involves confirming prerequisites and product IDs, registering with the Israel Tax Authority (ITA), and setting up credentials.
Prerequisites
-
An API key obtained from the ITA portal.
-
An API secret obtained from the ITA portal.
-
A refresh token obtained from the ITA portal.Note: Expired tokens are detected during document submission via the API. Since the refresh token expires 90 days after the first document issuance for Sandbox, be sure to get a new refresh token at that time.
Resources
Official government resources that include detailed and valuable information on various topics:

Error handling
When handling errors, the client application must follow the Indirect Tax API's error handling principles, as specified in the error handling documentation.
In general, all error codes in the 400 range are client errors, which you need to analyze. After fixing the error, you can resend the request. Error codes 408 and 429 are exceptions: In these cases, you should wait at least 60 seconds before retrying. Error codes in the 500 range are server errors. In that case, resend the request according to the instructions given on the error handling documentation, which also includes a full list of error codes Indirect Tax API can return.
Errors coming from the tax authority are shown in the application response. This means that if the tax authority rejects the request, SCIResponseCode
is set to "RE" and any error codes will be located in the SCIGovtStatusCode
element.
You need to take action after receiving an error code and a message from the tax authority.
Register with the Israel tax authority
Obtain the required API key, Secret, and Refresh Token by registering with the Israel Tax Authority (ITA). Follow their registration tutorial, along with the following guidance.
-
The ITA tutorial advises users to subscribe to the "Invoice Approval 1.0.0" API product after creating the app.
Sovos recommends subscribing to the "Longtimeacces' 1.0.0" API product.
Configure credentials for Israel
You must set up transmission credentials to connect your Sovos account to a valid business that is registered with the Israel Tax Authority (ITA).
- Use the dedicated Create settings endpoint to add transmission credentials through the API.
- Complete and return an Appointment Letter to Sovos or your reseller.
- Complete and return a Support and Change Management Document to Sovos or your reseller.

Issue invoice
Issuing invoices in Israel is based on the Default business process, which follows this order: Mapping and Transmission. The following diagram provides a detailed overview:
Step 1: Supplier creates the Standard Business Document
Every invoice sent to Sovos must be part of a Standard Business Document (SBD). This document includes a Standard Business Document Header (SBDH) and a Sovos Document node, which in turn includes a Sovos Canonical Invoice (SCI). To create the SBD, follow the detailed instructions in the SBDH, Sovos Document, and SCI pages.
Here are some key elements that should be included in the SBD and in the invoice:
Use the following values in the SBDH for documents that use the SCI format:
Node | Required | Attributes | Value |
---|---|---|---|
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.Sender.Identifier | Yes | Authority="IL" | Supplier's TIN |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.Receiver.Identifier | Yes | Authority="IL" | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.DocumentIdentification.Standard | Yes | urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2 | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.DocumentIdentification.TypeVersion | Yes | 2.1 | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.DocumentIdentification.Type | Yes | Invoice | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes | Child node Type : SubSchema | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node | |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope.BusinessService.BusinessServiceName | Yes | Default | |
SovosDocument.SovosCanonicalInvoice.Invoice | Yes | SCI |
Alternatively, the supplier can use the local format (JSON) instead of SCI. Use the following values in the SBDH for documents that use the local format:
Node | Required | Value |
---|---|---|
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.DocumentIdentification.Standard | Yes | ILInvoice |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.DocumentIdentification.TypeVersion | Yes | 1.0 |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.DocumentIdentification.Type | Yes | Invoice |
StandardBusinessDocumentHeader.BusinessScope.Scope (with child nodes) | Yes |
Child node Child node |
SovosDocument.SovosLegalDocument.Base64Document | Yes | A local format |
You need to encode the local format (JSON) document in Base64 before you can add it as part of the SBD. Here is a sample:
</sbd:StandardBusinessDocumentHeader>
<svs:SovosDocument>
<svs:SovosLegalDocument>
<enc:Base64Document>
<enc:EmbeddedDocument mimeCode="application/json">eyJJbnZvaW...OjUuOHldfQ==</enc:EmbeddedDocument>
</enc:Base64Document>
</svs:SovosLegalDocument>
</svs:SovosDocument>
</svs:StandardBusinessDocument>
Supported document types for the Local Format (JSON) document:
-
Invoice/Transaction Invoice (300)
-
Tax Invoice (305)
-
Tax Invoice I [for future use] (306)
-
Periodic Tax invoice (310)
-
Tax invoice/receipt (320)
-
Credit tax invoice (330)
-
Credit tax invoice I [for future use] (331)
-
Pro forma invoice (332)
Include all the mandatory nodes, as specified in the SBDH schema. If the information cannot be provided, and the respective mandatory node has not been mentioned on the current page, for example the receiver.identifier
, the node can be left empty but must still be included in the SBDH.
- SBD sample
- Below is a sample of the SBD. In addition, there's a full sample of the SBD on the Postman Samples page.

Step 2: Supplier sends the SBD to Sovos
The supplier sends a POST request to the /documents endpoint.
The request must include the following request body parameters:
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
data | string | Yes | The SBD encoded in Base64, as created in step 1. |
dataEncoding | string | Yes | Enter "base64". |
After receiving the document, Sovos performs a structure/schema validation of both the SCI and the SBD parts.
- Request sample
-
curl --location --request POST 'https://api-test-tls.sovos.com/v1/documents' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \ --header 'x-correlationId: SET-TO-UNIQUE-VALUE' \ --data-raw '{ "data": "PD9...d4=", "dataEncoding" : "base64" }'
- Response sample
-
{ "timestamp": 1605282724079, "status": 202, "success": true, "message": "Document Received", "data": { "documentId": "3add2b7104dc0049ff0bf410f57e0a19afaf" } }
Step 3: Sovos maps the SCI into JSON
This step will be skipped if the SBD contains the invoice in the local format (JSON).
Step 4: Sovos performs the schema validation
Sovos performs a schema validation based on the information provided by the tax authority. If there are errors in the document, Sovos detects them instead of waiting for the tax authority's response.
Step 5: Sovos transmits the JSON
Sovos transmits the JSON file to the ITA tax authority.
Step 6: ITA processes the JSON
ITA performs a schema validation and several business validations. Then it generates an approval or rejection response message along with an error message, where applicable. Upon approval, ITA also assigns an Allocation Number.
Step 7: ITA sends the response to Sovos
After performing its services, ITA sends the response to Sovos.
Step 8: Supplier retrieves the application responses
- Attachments configuration
- Sovos highly recommends configuring your application response attachments as download links instead of base64-encoded data to avoid potential size limitations when retrieving responses. The default option is "download links".Note:
When you use "download links", the response contains a URL to download the file. When you use "binary data", the file is embedded in the base64-encoded response. This configuration is available through the Professional Services team.
As a response to the initial sending of the document, the client receives a JSON response message with an HTTP status code of 202 (asynchronous transaction). This means that the supplier must retrieve the application responses that become available during the transaction, which provide status information and the cleared JSON encoded in Base64 after it's available during the process.
Options for retrieving application responses (notifications):
- Fetch everything in one single response (notification)
- When polling for responses, Sovos only returns one final notification with
SCICloudStatusCode
of 209 that contains all the relevant attachments and data. Detailed description follows. - Fetch multiple responses (notifications) containing different information
- When polling for responses, Sovos returns multiple notifications with different
SCICloudStatusCode
values containing different attachments and data until the final one (with status 209) is returned. Detailed description follows.
To configure notifications for your company or update your current configuration, contact the Professional Services team.
To complete a transaction, the supplier retrieves only one notification, the complete workflow one, with SCICloudStatusCode
of 209 and all the necessary attachments and data. Afterwards, the notification needs to be parsed for the SCIResponseCode
value. Possible values for SCIResponseCode
:
- AP
- The document's compliance status has been accepted with all the necessary attachments and data included.
- RE
- The document's compliance status has been rejected, and more parsing is needed:
-
If
SCIGovtStatusCode
is present, the error can be found by readingStatusReason
. -
if
SCIInternalValidationCode
is present, the error can be found by readingStatusReason
.
-
SCICloudStatusCode
with a value in the 5xx range still remains an option, as it indicates a server error. In this case, the workflow doesn't finish in the sense that it doesn't return a notification with SCICloudStatusCode
of 209.# | SCICloudStatusCode | SCIResponseCode | Sample |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 209 | AP |
Workflow Successfully Completed
|
2 | 209 | RE |
Workflow Successfully Completed
|
To complete a transaction, the supplier must retrieve the application responses until the transaction has finished. If the supplier has subscribed to all notifications, the transaction can generate different application responses. See the table below:
# | SCICloudStatusCode | SCIResponseCode | Sample |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 100 | IP |
Document received successfully
|
2 | 101 | IP |
Document mapped successfully
|
3 | 200 | AP |
Authorized by the tax authority
|
4 | 209 | IP |
Workflow Successfully Completed
|
5 | 400 | RE |
Rejected by the tax authority or the counterparty
|
6 | 400 | RE |
Rejected by the tax authority or the counterparty - Document not approved
|
7 | 400 | RE |
Rejected by the tax authority or the counterparty - Decision not sent
|
8 | 400 | RE |
Rejected by the tax authority or the counterparty - Decision already sent
|
9 | 401 | RE |
Error processing document
|
The supplier can use the following Indirect Tax API endpoints to retrieve application responses:
-
GET /notifications/IL
-
GET /documents/IL/{documentId}/notifications
- GET /notifications/IL
- The supplier can send a GET request to the /notifications/IL endpoint to retrieve application responses that match the configured search criteria. To make this request, set the following query parameters:
Name Type Required Default Description taxId string No Include only notifications related to the specified
taxId
. This value relates to theCompanyCode
set in the SBDH.Note: If a request doesn't include this parameter, it will return all the notifications related to the country and the
sourceSystemId
parameter.page integer No 1 To specify the page to be returned, enter a value between 1 and 10. perPage integer No 10 To specify the number of results for the returned page, enter a value between 1 and 100.
Note: If the attachment file is configured to return the binary content instead of a link, use only values between 1 and 10.
sourceSystemId string Yes Include only notifications related to documents that originate from the given source system. This value is related to the SenderSystemId
in the SBDH.includeAcknowledged boolean No false Enter "true" to specify whether previously acknowledged notifications, within 24 hours of their acknowledgment, must be included in the result. processType string No Enter "0" to only include notifications related to outbound documents. - Request sample

- GET /documents/IL/{documentId}/notifications
- The supplier can send a GET request to the /documents/IL/{documentId}/notifications endpoint to retrieve application responses related to a single document. To make this request, set the following parameter:
Name Type Required Parameter type Default Description documentId string Yes Path The ID of the document returned in step 2 - Request sample

Step 9: Supplier marks the application responses as acknowledged
The supplier must process the retrieved application responses and mark them as acknowledged. This can be done by sending a PUT request to the /notifications/IL endpoint.
To make this request, set the following request body parameters:
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
status | string | Yes | Enter "read". |
notificationId | string | Yes | The ID of the notification that must be marked as acknowledged. |
notificationId
values can be acknowledged in one Indirect Tax API call by including them in a single request.- Request sample
-
curl --location --request PUT 'https://api-test.sovos.com/v1/notifications/IL' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \ --header 'x-correlationId: SET-TO-UNIQUE-VALUE' \ --data-raw '[ { "status": "read", "notificationId": "51341d39-fd3e-4dcf-aea3-a73d73e0de76" } ]'
- Response sample
-
{ "timestamp": 1601673284, "status": 200, "success": true, "message": "Notifications acknowledged successfully." }
Step 10: Archiving
You can compliantly archive the JSON, the application response, and any graphical representation, such as a PDF, using Sovos' Compliant Archive.
For suppliers integrating with the Sovos solution for Israel for the first time, we recommend the bundled approach, in which archiving is part of the invoice clearance flow. Archiving can also be done separately through an explicit API call that uses another archive. For more information on standalone archiving, see the eArchiving documentation page.
Step 11: Supplier sends the invoice to the buyer
The invoice should be sent to the buyer along with the Allocation Number, as they need it to look up the invoice data on the ITA system.
Cancel invoice
With the recent changes in the Israel Mandate, the ITA will now have the ability to hold invoices. This means not all invoices will be immediately approved or rejected. Now they can be in a "held" state where the issuer is required to submit a "decision" on what is to be done next with the contested document.
The "decision" can be in the form of:
-
Reverse charge (which is not the point of discussion for this document)
-
Document action: "Cancellation", "Continue", and "Request for a hearing"
The following diagram provides a detailed overview:
Step 1: Buyer sends a POST request to Sovos
When the buyer wants to cancel an invoice in Israel, they send a POST request to the /documents/IL/action endpoint. To make this request, set the following request body parameters:
Name | Type | Required | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
actionCode | string | Yes | Always enter "document.cancellation". | ||
documents | array of objects | Yes | An array of objects to include the metadata and the inbound document ID. | ||
documentId | string | Yes | The ID of the document to be handled. This is the documentId Sovos returns when receiving the document. |

curl --location --request POST 'https://api-test.sovos.com/v1/documents/IL/action' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \ --header 'x-correlationId: SET-TO-UNIQUE-VALUE' \ --data '{ "actionCode": "document.cancellation", "documents": [ { "documentId": "70a...89a0" } ] }
- Response sample
-
{ "status": 202, "message": "Accepted", "success": true, "timestamp": 1724404345626 "data":[ { "status": 202, "transactionId": "564c4995-...-4a3976feb6ea", "documentId": "70a...89a0" } ] }
Step 2: Sovos transmits the request to ITA
Sovos finds the corresponding document in the system and transmits the decision request to ITA.
Step 3: ITA processes the request
ITA verifies that the decision can be processed.
Step 4: ITA returns the response
ITA returns the success message or, if the action could not be performed, it returns an error message.
Step 5: Buyer retrieves the application responses
- Attachments configuration
- Sovos highly recommends configuring your application response attachments as download links instead of base64-encoded data to avoid potential size limitations when retrieving responses. The default option is "download links".Note:
When you use "download links", the response contains a URL to download the file. When you use "binary data", the file is embedded in the base64-encoded response. This configuration is available through the Professional Services team.
As a response to the initial request, the client receives a JSON response message with an HTTP status code of 202 (asynchronous transaction). This means that the buyer must retrieve the application responses that become available during the transaction, which provide status information.
Options for retrieving application responses (notifications):
- Fetch everything in one single response (notification)
- When polling for responses, Sovos only returns one final notification with
SCICloudStatusCode
of 209 that contains all the relevant attachments and data. Detailed description follows. - Fetch multiple responses (notifications) containing different information
- When polling for responses, Sovos returns multiple notifications with different
SCICloudStatusCode
values containing different attachments and data until the final one (with status 209) is returned. Detailed description follows.
To complete a transaction, the buyer retrieves only one notification, the complete workflow one, with SCICloudStatusCode
of 209 and all the necessary attachments and data. Afterwards, the notification needs to be parsed for the SCIResponseCode
value. Possible values for SCIResponseCode
:
- AP
- The document's compliance status has been accepted with all the necessary attachments and data included.
- RE
- The document's compliance status has been rejected, and more parsing is needed:
-
If
SCIGovtStatusCode
is present, the error can be found by readingStatusReason
. -
if
SCIInternalValidationCode
is present, the error can be found by readingStatusReason
.
-
SCICloudStatusCode
with a value in the 5xx range still remains an option, as it indicates a server error. In this case, the workflow doesn't finish in the sense that it doesn't return a notification with SCICloudStatusCode
of 209.# | SCICloudStatusCode | SCIResponseCode | Sample |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 209 | AP |
Workflow Successfully Completed
|
2 | 209 | CA |
Workflow Successfully Completed
|
To complete a transaction, the buyer must retrieve the application responses until the transaction has finished. If the supplier has subscribed to multiple notifications, the transaction can generate different application responses, as shown in the table below. The transaction finishes when a notification containing SCICloudStatusCode
with the value of 209 has been received.
# | SCICloudStatusCode | SCIResponseCode | Sample |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 100 | IP |
Document received successfully
|
2 | 101 | IP |

The buyer can use the following Indirect Tax API endpoints to retrieve application responses:
-
GET /notifications/IL
-
GET /documents/IL/{documentId}/notifications
- GET /notifications/IL
- The buyer can send a GET request to the /notifications/IL endpoint to retrieve application responses that match the configured search criteria. To make this request, set the following query parameters:
Name Type Required Default Description taxId string No Include only notifications related to the specified
taxId
. This value relates to theCompanyCode
set in the SBDH.Note: If a request doesn't include this parameter, it will return all the notifications related to the country and the
sourceSystemId
parameter.page integer No 1 To specify the page to be returned, enter a value between 1 and 10. perPage integer No 10 To specify the number of results for the returned page, enter a value between 1 and 100.
Note: If the attachment file is configured to return the binary content instead of a link, use only values between 1 and 10.
sourceSystemId string Yes Include only notifications related to documents that originate from the given source system. This value is related to the SenderSystemId
in the SBDH.includeAcknowledged boolean No false Enter "true" to specify whether previously acknowledged notifications must be included in the result. processType string No Enter "0" to only include notifications related to outbound documents. - Request sample

Step 6: Buyer marks the application responses as acknowledged
The buyer must process the retrieved application responses and mark them as acknowledged. This can be done by sending a PUT request to the /notifications/IL endpoint.
To make this request, set the following request body parameters:
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
status | string | Yes | Enter "read". |
notificationId | string | Yes | The ID of the notification that must be marked as acknowledged. |
notificationId
values can be acknowledged in one Indirect Tax API call by including them in a single request.- Request sample

Continue invoice
With the recent changes in the Israel Mandate, the ITA will now have the ability to hold invoices. This means not all invoices will be immediately approved or rejected. Now they can be in a "held" state where the issuer is required to submit a "decision" on what is to be done next with the contested document.
The "decision" can be in the form of:
-
Reverse charge (which is not the point of discussion for this document)
-
Document action: "Cancellation", "Continue", and "Request for a hearing"
The following diagram provides a detailed overview:
Step 1: Buyer sends a POST request to Sovos
The buyer sends a POST request to the /documents/IL/action endpoint. To make this request, set the following request body parameters:
Name | Type | Required | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
actionCode | string | Yes | Always enter "document.continue". | ||
documents | array of objects | Yes | An array of objects to include the metadata and the inbound document ID. | ||
documentId | string | Yes | The ID of the document to be handled. This is the documentId Sovos returns when receiving the document. |
- Request sample
-
curl --location --request POST 'https://api-test.sovos.com/v1/documents/IL/action' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \ --header 'x-correlationId: SET-TO-UNIQUE-VALUE' \ --data '{ "actionCode": "document.continue", "documents": [ { "documentId": "70a...89a0" } ] }
- Response sample
-
{ "status": 202, "message": "Accepted", "success": true, "timestamp": 1724404345626 "data":[ { "status": 202, "transactionId": "564c4995-...-4a3976feb6ea", "documentId": "70a...89a0" } ] }
Step 2: Sovos transmits the request to ITA
Sovos finds the corresponding document in the system and transmits the decision request to ITA.
Step 3: ITA processes the request
ITA verifies that the decision can be processed.
Step 4: ITA returns the response
ITA returns the success message or, if the action could not be performed, it returns an error message.
Step 5: Buyer retrieves the application responses
- Attachments configuration
- Sovos highly recommends configuring your application response attachments as download links instead of base64-encoded data to avoid potential size limitations when retrieving responses. The default option is "download links".Note:
When you use "download links", the response contains a URL to download the file. When you use "binary data", the file is embedded in the base64-encoded response. This configuration is available through the Professional Services team.
As a response to the initial request, the client receives a JSON response message with an HTTP status code of 202 (asynchronous transaction). This means that the buyer must retrieve the application responses that become available during the transaction, which provide status information.
Options for retrieving application responses (notifications):
- Fetch everything in one single response (notification)
- When polling for responses, Sovos only returns one final notification with
SCICloudStatusCode
of 209 that contains all the relevant attachments and data. Detailed description follows. - Fetch multiple responses (notifications) containing different information
- When polling for responses, Sovos returns multiple notifications with different
SCICloudStatusCode
values containing different attachments and data until the final one (with status 209) is returned. Detailed description follows.
To complete a transaction, the buyer retrieves only one notification, the complete workflow one, with SCICloudStatusCode
of 209 and all the necessary attachments and data. Afterwards, the notification needs to be parsed for the SCIResponseCode
value. Possible values for SCIResponseCode
:
- AP
- The document's compliance status has been accepted with all the necessary attachments and data included.
- RE
- The document's compliance status has been rejected, and more parsing is needed:
-
If
SCIGovtStatusCode
is present, the error can be found by readingStatusReason
. -
if
SCIInternalValidationCode
is present, the error can be found by readingStatusReason
.
-
SCICloudStatusCode
with a value in the 5xx range still remains an option, as it indicates a server error. In this case, the workflow doesn't finish in the sense that it doesn't return a notification with SCICloudStatusCode
of 209.# | SCICloudStatusCode | SCIResponseCode | Sample |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 209 | AP |
Workflow Successfully Completed
|
To complete a transaction, the buyer must retrieve the application responses until the transaction has finished. If the supplier has subscribed to multiple notifications, the transaction can generate different application responses, as shown in the table below. The transaction finishes when a notification containing SCICloudStatusCode
with the value of 209 has been received.
# | SCICloudStatusCode | SCIResponseCode | Sample |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 100 | IP |
Document received successfully
|
2 | 101 | IP |
Document mapped successfully
|
3 | 213 | AP |
Continue decision accepted
|
4 | 209 | AP |

|
The buyer can use the following Indirect Tax API endpoints to retrieve application responses:
-
GET /notifications/IL
-
GET /documents/IL/{documentId}/notifications
- GET /notifications/IL
- The buyer can send a GET request to the /notifications/IL endpoint to retrieve application responses that match the configured search criteria. To make this request, set the following query parameters:

Mock tax authority integration
You can test the integration with the Sovos solution for Israel using a mocked tax authority communication. For that, you can use Sovos' mocked services, which replace the tax authority communication in the solution and let you make limited tests of business scenarios.
You can also dynamically distinguish between mocked services and testing against the real tax authority UAT environment on a document-by-document basis.
Testing with Sovosā mocked services is not a replacement for the UAT/Sandbox environment tests. With that in mind, you should keep making tests in the UAT/Sandbox environment before moving to the Production environment. This is because Sovosā mocked services cannot fully simulate the tax authority behavior and validations due to the vast amount of different business scenarios that are applicable to Israel.
Outbound Mock
- Outbound Mock configuration
- To use the mock services for Israel Outbound, you need to configure these specific credentials (inside the
value
object) using the POST /v2/configurations/organizations/{organizationId}/settings endpoint from Configurations v2:- clientId
- cc21dfbcfc31f5c0b572906061b640d1
- clientSecret
- 9a92640a971ff1267413747661d2f8b5
- refreshToken

Here is a sample request using these credentials:
curl --location --request POST 'https://api-test.sovos.com/v2/configurations/organizations/YOUR-ORG-ID/settings' \ --header 'x-correlationId: developer-guide-mock' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '[ { "context": "transmission", "configurations": [ { "name": "partner_credentials_shaam", "value": { "clientId": "cc21dfbcfc31f5c0b572906061b640d1", "clientSecret": "9a92640a971ff1267413747661d2f8b5", "refreshToken": "AAJMoDuzFkpMpHfFYN8yK_YnlOdPxiBBXdovFBdsbAQVnf68wHvQUYYDr6x0uHpjEK0n2Mg2pBQX8-dxpoTHtYkzuZk9bcgQd5nnAZepUEq8bQ" }, "scope": { "category": "IL_INV", "productId": "il_TaxInvoice__1.0", "orgId": "YOUR-ORG-ID", "taxId": "YOUR-COMPANY-TAXID" } } ] } ]'
- Outbound Mock usage
-
When sending a document with the POST /v1/documents endpoint to reach the mocked services, the
x-correlationId
value must end with "-mock". For example,x-correlationId = "123-mock"
. Sovos' solution distinguishes between the mocked Outbound services and the real tax authority UAT environment based on the presence of this value.When using the GET method with the Notifications endpoints, the
x-correlationId
doesn't need to end with "-mock". This is because the Sovos solution doesn't differentiate between mocked notifications and notifications related to the real tax authority UAT environment ā they are both treated as "notifications", which can be retrieved normally. The same reasoning applies to marking notifications as acknowledged with the PUT method: there's no need to add anx-correlationId
ending with "-mock".To test Outbound against the real tax authority UAT environment, it is crucial to follow the correct prerequisites and configuration steps. This involves obtaining the real tax authority credentials and configuring them in the Sovos solution. So, when issuing the document, make sure that
x-correlationId
doesn't end with "-mock".The mock services also support testing the requirements related to held documents. For the mock services to reject a document holding it, you need to enter "not-approved" in the
invoice_reference_number
field. After receiving the rejection, you can then request any of the possible actions:-
Cancellation
-
Continue
-
Request hearing
-
Reverse charge (calling the POST /documents endpoint again with "VAT_Amount" and "Vat_Rate" set to 0, and the action parameter set to 3).
You can also simulate the errors that ITA returns if you request one of the three actions for a previously sent document or request the same action twice for the same document. In those cases, you will receive an HTTP 400 (Bad Request) error from the Platform with the following message: "Precondition failed".

- Outbound Mock validation
-
The main purpose of the mocked services is to let you test the end-to-end flow early in the integration process, without being blocked by the need for real tax authority credentials. You can only test a limited set of scenarios based on the document's content:
- invoice_date
- The invoice date should be less than two weeks old.
- invoice_id
- The length of the value should be 1-30.
- items.category
- The first character should be "1" or "2".
- items.price_per_unit
- It should be a numeric value of the decimal type, with no more than four digits after the number.
- items.total_amount
- It should be a numeric value of the decimal type, with no more than two digits after the number.
- items.vat_amount
- It should be a numeric value of the decimal type, with no more than two digits after the number.
- customer_vat_number
- It should be either 777777715 or 18.
- vat_number
- The value should be less than or equal to 999999999.
- Required field missing
- Example:
vat_number

Payload samples
Sovos Canonical Invoice (SCI)
The provided SCI and Local XML samples are meant to be guidelines for integration with the Indirect Tax API and should be treated as such, since each integrating system is unique and has different requirements. This means that the samples cannot be copied directly, and must be adapted to your system when integrating with the Indirect Tax API.
