DTEs are the standard tax document for registered taxpayers.
The facts
| Format | Documento Tributario Electrónico (DTE) |
| Goes to | SII |
| Regime | Clearance — the authority authorises the document before it is valid |
| Invoice number | Assigned by the authority, not by us — we record what comes back |
| Seller tax ID | RUT |
| Buyer tax ID | RUT |
| Peppol EAS code | Not in the official EAS list |
| Integration | OpenFactura (Haulmer) |
The part that costs a day
The folio comes from a CAF file issued by SII, which contains a finite block of numbers. When the block runs out, issuing stops until you load a new one — a hard stop that has nothing to do with your software.
The authority owns the sequence, so we step aside and record what comes back. Any tool that promises you full control of the number in Chile is describing something that cannot happen.
Never extracted from the gross. The two formulas differ by a cent and the wrong one gets the file rejected. The leftover cent is declared as payment rounding (BT-114), where the standard puts it.
Straight talk
We do not hold your signing certificate, we do not file your periodic returns, and we are not your accountant.
Issuing here goes through OpenFactura (Haulmer), with your own credentials. We build the document, validate it, send it and record what comes back.
