SDI Process

Purpose : The Italian Gouvernement set regulations in Italian Market, to better collect VAT.

Means : Sistema Di Interscambio (SDI) has been selected to collect VAT informations on all Invoices
generated in Italian Market. As of Jan 2019, all companies invoicing in Italy will have to send and
XML file to SDI organization, get the approval before sending the final invoice to the customer.

Understanding of the SDI process at Energizer :

The SDI format seems less detailed than the EDI invoice. Therefore the recommendation from GS1 is
to continue sending current EDI to customers, along with the XML SDI File.
The SDI file has to be signed before being sent to SDI.

Below is a scheme of the SDI Process :

Description of the flows :

1) For Each Italian invoice, a PDF and IDOC are generated.

In SI, the IDoc is converted to XML file, and merged with the corresponding PDF into a Zip
file.
The Zip file is sent via SFTP to TESI provider.
2) TESI is making a check on the structure of the file. If PDF is missing also they will reject.
Reports are sent to us by mail, on every failures.
If the Zip is correct, the XML is sent to the SDI Organization
3) SDI will process and validate the file. An approval number is generated, sent back to TESI.
At the same time, a copy of the XML I sent to the customer.
4) The pdf is sent to the customer

Read files from \\enusev102\g\edi_out\b2b_binary_pre_SDI\XML
- Retrieve the record with “ALLEGATO”’ to get the invoice number
- Read files from \\enusev102\g\edi_out\b2b_binary_pre_SDI\PDF\
If filename is matching the invoice number then
Zip.exe PDF_file XML_file to \\enusev102\g\edi_out\

INFORIT – SDI STATUS PROCESS

When SDI approved an XML invoice sent to them, they sent back a status file.
Tesi is passing to us INFORIT file.
That file is translated into a flat file, sent to SAP Prime.

Process of SDI status in Sterling Integrator

EBC_SFTP_GET_BINARY_SDI_PRIME_EU_FROM_B2B
Ftp from Axway folder data/Energizer_EU/BIN_IN/TESI_SDI
Call the BP EBC_PRIME_EU_INBOUND_SDI_XML
Which will convert into flat file for SAP

Output folder : \\enusev102\g\inbound_data\sap_eu_prime_file

Archive folder : \\enusev102\g\ARCHIVE\inbound_data\sapeusdiprimefile\202101

BPEBC_PRIME_EU_INBOUND_SDI_XML is
Map : IB_SDI_TO_SAP

Translating all files sent by TESI as INFORIT file.

Merge then into a single file SDIstatus.dat and send the SAP folder
\\enusev11\SDI-ItalyInvoice\\
