ERP-integrated e-Invoice
ERP-integrated e-Invoice (e-Fatura, Turkey's electronic invoice) means the invoice is issued from inside the ERP or pre-accounting software you already use, instead of being keyed into a separate portal by hand, and is sent to GİB, Turkey's Revenue Administration, through a special integrator. Users work on a single screen; the document's acceptance, rejection and cancellation status appears on that same screen.
There are three paths. Which one fits you?
Keep your own ERP, leave the document side to us
You do not change your current ERP or pre-accounting software. You send JSON or UBL-TR XML to an ERP-independent REST API; invoice issuing, transmission to GİB, response tracking and storage run on our side.
Businesses happy with their ERP that only want to put the e-document side in order
Pre-accounting and e-documents in one product
If you want pre-accounting, customer accounts, stock and invoicing to sit in the same place as e-Invoice/e-Archive (e-Arşiv), SmartERP combines the two in a single product; the e-document side is not bought from a separate company.
Businesses willing to change software that want a single point of contact

If you want to add e-documents inside your product, you take the infrastructure white-label: the panel and document view your customer sees carry your brand.

Data model fit
Your ERP's invoice record and the UBL-TR fields do not match one to one; unit, tax code, discount and exemption fields are mapped. This mapping is done once, then the flow runs on its own.
Taxpayer status lookup
Whether the buyer is an e-Invoice taxpayer should be queried automatically; otherwise the user checks the list on every invoice and sooner or later a wrong document is issued.
Error and response handling
Rejected invoices, the response period and the cancellation flow should be visible on the ERP screen. Searching for a document's outcome in a separate portal lengthens accounting's end of day.
Archive and access
Documents are stored for the legal period and should be downloadable in bulk when requested. If you change provider, settle in writing at the start in which format you will receive your documents.
Frequently asked questions
▸ What does ERP-integrated e-invoice mean?
It means the invoice is issued from inside the ERP or pre-accounting software you use, instead of being keyed into a separate portal by hand, and is sent to GİB through a special integrator. Users work on a single screen; the document status appears on that same screen.
▸ Do I need to change my current ERP?
No. The e-Belge side works through an ERP-independent REST API; any system that can send JSON or UBL-TR XML can connect. Moving only the document side without changing your ERP is the most commonly chosen path.
▸ Can pre-accounting software and e-invoice software come from the same provider?
Yes. In SmartERP, pre-accounting, customer accounts, stock and invoicing work in the same product as e-Invoice/e-Archive; since ELPO is also on GİB's special integrator list, there is no third company in between.
▸ How long does integration take?
The duration depends on how standard your ERP's invoice data model is. It starts with field mapping and issuing a few documents in the test environment; going live at the start of a period causes the least confusion on the accounting side.
▸ Does it run on our own server or in the cloud?
Document transmission runs over the integrator infrastructure; where your ERP runs does not change this. An ERP on your own server and an ERP in the cloud connect to the same API.
▸ Where can ELPO's integrator authorisation be verified?
We are registered on the Turkish Revenue Administration's special integrator list under the title "ELPO Bilişim Otomasyon Elektronik Pompa Sistemleri ve Petrol Sanayi Ticaret LTD.ŞTİ.". You can check the full list in the copy on our site or on GİB's own page.
