Chile has an asynchronic invoicing system, which means that you can issue a document and send it to the customer while the tax authority is still processing it. The effect is a higher speed and avaibility but you must properly handle document rejections by fixing and resending rejected documents.

There are 2 validations steps, the first one is the sending validation, where the certificate and company are checked by the tax authority and then there is a content validation where the XML is validated.

The steps are as follows, you can identify them by using GET /documents and reading the fields.

GET /documents/{document_id}

1) Draft

1
{
2
    "header": {
3
      "document_status" : 0

    }
5
}

2) Issued, pending validation

1
{
2
    "header": {
3
    "document_status" : 1
4
    }

}
