1. Postcode in Transport Guides

We have enhanced the transportation guides module to include the definition of postal codes for both origin and destination addresses.

Please note that for the Portuguese market, postal codes must strictly follow the "0000-000" format; adhering to this specific structure is mandatory to ensure seamless validation and successful transmission of the transportation guide to the Tax Authority, preventing any processing errors or compliance issues.

1. Adaptation to Electronic Invoicing (DIR3)

Due to the imminent implementation of mandatory Electronic Invoicing in Spain, it is essential that invoices addressed to Public Bodies, and subsequently sent to the Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria), contain the information from the Entity Directory (DIR3). These codes are key to ensuring that the invoice can be identified, processed, and ultimately paid by the relevant Public Administration body.

To simplify and automate this process, SIMA incorporates the management of DIR3 codes starting from this version.

How does the DIR3 integration work in SIMA?

  • Code Association: SIMA allows you to associate the following DIR3 codes directly with each section of a third party (client):
  • Accounting Office (Oficina Contable): Identifies the unit responsible for accounting.
  • Managing Body (Órgano Gestor): Identifies the unit that orders and manages the expenditure.
  • Processing Unit (Unidad Tramitadora): Identifies the unit that processes the invoice.
  • Automatic Generation: Once associated, when an electronic invoice is issued to that specific third-party section, SIMA will automatically include these DIR3 codes in the invoice's XML file, ensuring that the submission to the Tax Agency complies with all legal requirements.

1. Inclusion of all transport guides in SAFT

The monthly SAFT file generation process has been modified so that, from this version onwards, all transport guides will be included, regardless of whether they have a tax agency code.

Sometimes, due to a connection problem or other issue, the system is unable to resolve the code requested from the Tax Agency. Until now, these guides were not included in the SAFT, but regulations require them to be.

The system will notify the user when generating the SAFT, allowing them to cancel the process and take action on these guides if any Transport Guides are found in this circumstance. There are two ways to proceed:

  • Enter the AT code manually
  • Cancel the guide.

1. Flexible Origin and Destination Addresses in Transport Guides

We have made important updates to the address management within the Transport Guides in SIMA Desktop. Now, you have much greater control over both the origin and destination addresses.

Customisation of the Origin Address

Previously, the origin address on any waybill was automatically set as your company's fiscal address and it was not possible to modify it. With this new version of SIMA Desktop, it is now possible to freely modify this address. This means that you can set the origin address you need for your waybills.

Set the Destination Address with Total Freedom

In previous versions, the system only allowed you to select destination addresses that were already associated with the third party you had chosen. From now on, you can set the destination address freely, regardless of its association with a specific third party.

This parameter sets whether the electronic invoices are sent to Saphety, FileNet or both platforms. By default, if there’s no value configured by a third party, the electronic invoice is sent to the company’s configured platform (For Hyundai, Honda and Nissan is Saphety. On the other hand, Toyota uses FileNet).

1. Calculation of the deduction

The calculation of this tax has been modified in two ways:

Before this change, the code '020' was always sent. It should be noted that it is not possible to define this configuration by SIMA Dektop, as no graphical interface has been implemented to allow it to be edited by the user.
2.- If the amount contains decimals, it will be rounded according to the legislation.

New features

1. Weight in Transport Guides

We add a new column on every item added to the transport guide which shows the weight. This information will show the weight for each item added. This information will also depend on the module. Thus for vehicles the system will return the weight of the vehicle not from the product catalog because each vehicle has its own weight. In the Parts module this weight will be informed from the parts product catalog.

🚩 Peru Market

1. Total weight calculated in Transport Guides

The system will calculate the total weight as the sum of the different weights for every line added to the transport guide.
As some items could not have the weight defined, the user will be able to modify the total weight which is provided to the SUNAT. For that reason, the system will have some special checks when any of next situations happen:
