On January 15, 2025, Argentina’s Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA) published v 4.0 of the Developer Manual for Electronic Billing, which concerns software development for final consumers governed by General Resolution 4291, 2018.

What are the changes?

1. Two new fields have been added:

  • <CanMisMonExt>: Flag identifying whether the invoice is paid in the same foreign currency as stated in the invoice. Possible values are Y or N.
  • <CondicionIVAReceptorId>: The receiver’s VAT Condition field is not valid. For more details, see the method FEParamGetCondicionIvaReceiver.

2. New codes have been added:

  • Electronic Authorization Code (CAE): The following codes are added: 10239, 10240, 10241, 10242, and 10243.
  • Advance Authorization Electronic Authorization Code (CAEA): The following codes are added: 820, 821, 822, 823, and 824.

3. Adjustments to fields and error codes:

  • A modification of error code "10038" relating to the MonCotiz (Currency Amount) field. If it’s stated that the payment is made in the same foreign currency as the invoice and the date of issue is before the current date, the exchange rate must be equal to the exchange rate registered in ARCA’s database the business day before the invoice issue date. If the issue date is later than the present date, the exchange rate must be equal to the exchange rate registered in ARCA’s database the business day before the present date. Otherwise, the Currency Amount field may be omitted.
  • "FEParamGetCotizacion" was modified, adding the date of the currency amount as optional. A new validation error code, 12002, was added for this field, specifying that the date format must be YYYYMMDD.

4. A new method was added:

  • "FEParamGetCondicionIvaReceptor" has been added to retrieve the reference values of the codes corresponding to the receiver’s VAT condition. Additionally, error code 10244 was added concerning this new method and is linked to the validation of the <Cmp_Clase> field and those cases where any receipt that does not correspond to "A," "B," "C," and "M" was entered).

The new rules apply since the manuals’ publication date on January 15, 2025.
