An electronic invoice isn't a PDF sent by e-mail. It's a structured file transmitted over an approved network. The difference isn't cosmetic: the tax administration can read it directly.
1. Check your identity against the registry
This blocks the most connections. Your company number and registered name must match the official registry EXACTLY. An accent, a hyphen, an abbreviation: enrolment fails, often without a clear message.
2. Know when your VAT falls due
On debits or on collections. For services, usually on collections. This setting changes what you declare and when.
3. Don't forget e-reporting
Your consumer sales don't go over the network: they're declared as totals, separately. A distinct obligation, and the one people discover late.
The order of things
RECEIVING supplier invoices becomes mandatory before issuing does. In other words: even a business that only invoices individuals will need to receive electronic invoices from its suppliers.
