Invopop’s Argentina app provides comprehensive integration with ARCA (Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero), Argentina’s national tax and customs authority. This app streamlines compliance with Argentina’s mandatory electronic invoicing system, enabling automated invoice submission, authorization, and reporting through ARCA’s clearance model.Key Features

Workflow Automation: This app provides automated workflows for registering suppliers and issuing invoices through the ARCA system.
Real-Time Clearance: Every invoice is submitted to ARCA for validation and receives a unique CAE (Código de Autorización Electrónico) code, ensuring compliance with Argentine e-invoicing regulations.
Multiple Invoice Types: Support for Factura A (B2B), Factura B (B2C), Factura C (Monotributistas), and Factura E (Exports).
Supplier Registration & Verification: Generate registration links where suppliers upload their certificates and sign agreements to enable invoice reporting.
PDF Generation: Invoices are generated with all mandatory fields, CAE codes, and QR codes as required by Argentine invoicing legislation.
WSFE Integration: Direct integration with ARCA’s Web Services de Factura Electrónica for automated invoice submission and authorization.
Sequential Numbering: Automatic invoice numbering management to maintain required sequential order by punto de venta (point of sale).

Make sure to check out our ARCA Supplier Onboarding guide and ARCA Invoicing guide for instructions on how to set up and use these actions in your workflows.

The following workflow actions will be available once you install and enable this app:

Factura A - Registered taxpayer to registered taxpayer (B2B)

Factura A is issued by registered taxpayers (Responsable Inscripto) to other registered taxpayers or monotributistas. This invoice type includes VAT broken down separately.Notice:

the minimal version (arca-invoice-A.min.mdx) contains only the essential fields required to create the Factura A,
the ar-afip-v1 addon ensures the document will be validated using the AFIP rules built into the GOBL library,
both supplier and customer must be registered taxpayers with valid CUIT numbers,
there are no totals or calculations in the minimal version; all these will be calculated automatically when running gobl build,
the built version (arca-invoice-A.mdx) shows the normalized document with calculated totals, line item sums, IVA breakdowns shown separately, and automatically generated fields, and,
the invoice will be submitted to AFIP for authorization and receive a CAE (Código de Autorización Electrónico).

Factura B - Registered taxpayer to final consumer (B2C)

Factura B is issued by registered taxpayers (Responsable Inscripto) to final consumers, exempt entities, non-categorized subjects, and foreign tourists. VAT is included in the total price.Notice:

the customer is typically a final consumer (Consumidor Final) and may not have a CUIT,
the minimal version contains only essential fields; gobl build handles all calculations,
when running gobl build, the system automatically calculates totals with IVA included in the price (not shown separately as in Factura A),
the built version shows the normalized document with calculated totals where VAT is included in the final amounts,
the ar-afip-v1 addon applies Factura B specific rules and validations, and,
the invoice will be submitted to AFIP for authorization and receive a CAE.

Factura C - Monotributista invoice (SMB2B)

Factura C is issued by monotributistas (simplified tax regime for small businesses and freelancers) to any type of customer. This invoice type does not break down VAT separately.Notice:

the supplier is registered under the monotributo regime, which is a simplified tax system for small businesses,
the minimal version contains only essential fields; totals are calculated by gobl build,
when running gobl build, the system automatically calculates totals without breaking down VAT separately (VAT is included but not itemized),
the built version shows the normalized document with calculated totals where no VAT breakdown is shown, as monotributistas don’t separately charge VAT,
the ar-afip-v1 addon applies Factura C specific rules and ensures compliance with monotributo requirements, and,
the invoice will be submitted to AFIP for authorization and receive a CAE.
