Invoicing a Spanish public administration? The invoice goes through FACe as a signed Facturae file that names the administration's three DIR3 codes. aiDoks creates that Facturae 3.2.2 for free — from a form or a PDF — with the DIR3 codes in place, and checks it against the official schema and the Spanish rules. You sign it with your own certificate and upload it to FACe.
Choose Facturae as the output, fill in the form or upload a PDF, scan or photo and let AI fill it in. Enter the administration's NIF and its three DIR3 codes: oficina contable, órgano gestor and unidad tramitadora.
The Facturae is checked against the official XSD and the Spanish rules — NIF checksums, totals, IBAN — and you are warned when a public buyer's DIR3 codes are missing. You get an unsigned Facturae 3.2.2 XML file.
FACe only accepts signed invoices. Sign the file with the free AutoFirma application (XAdES-EPES signature for Facturae) to get the .xsig file. Your certificate never leaves your computer — aiDoks does not sign for you.
On the FACe supplier portal (proveedores.face.gob.es) choose to send an invoice, attach the .xsig and submit. FACe routes it by the DIR3 codes, and you follow its status there.
Since 15 January 2015 companies (SA, SL and other legal entities) must send e-invoices to Spanish public administrations. Each administration may exempt invoices up to €5,000. The self-employed are not obliged, but can use FACe too.
FACe routes each invoice by the administration's oficina contable, órgano gestor and unidad tramitadora, and rejects it if one is missing. The administration gives you the codes, usually with the order or contract.
A Facturae for FACe must carry your electronic signature, and signing needs your certificate. aiDoks creates and checks the file; you sign it locally with AutoFirma or another XAdES-EPES tool.
FACe is for the public sector only. E-invoices between companies are coming with the Crea y Crece law; until then a company invoice can go as a Facturae, a PDF or another agreed format.
