Code10 eInvoicing – SAP Integration with SDI Italy
Italy was the first country in European Union to introduce live validation and approval for B2G invoices, requiring taxpayers to transmit their sales invoices to the Sistema Di Interscambio (SDI) since 2014.
All invoices are sent in XML format (FatturaPA) to the government platform.
After 10 years, the submission of eInvoices is mandatory for micro businesses, which started to be included in the eInvoicing obligations from January 2024. The next in line are key professionals in the healthcare sector, who are still exempt from these obligations until January 2025.
Current requirements specify that companies that issue and receive electronic invoices must archive these documents for a minimum of 5 years. SDI provides a free storage service for all taxpayers.
New reporting deadlines have been applied:
- Sales invoices within 12 days of the time of supply
- Purchase invoices by the 15th of the month following the time of supply.

The solution facilitates exchange of customer and supplier invoices from SAP systems (SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA) in XML structure FatturaPA to The National System of e-Invoices of Italy (SDI – Sistema di Interscambio).
