e-Invoicing — Mandatory for everyone by 2026
From January 2026, all companies in Romania are required to issue and receive invoices via the SPV-ANAF (the Romanian tax authority) system in UBL 2.1 (CIUS-RO) format. CRIsoft ERP supports this, but implementation requires careful attention.
e-Invoicing Integration Options in CRIsoft
**Option 1: Native CRIsoft Module (available from v2023+)
CRIsoft has launched an e-invoicing export/import module in recent versions
Generates CIUS-RO XML files from existing invoices
Requires manual upload to the SPV or automation via the tax authority API
Cost: Included in maintenance (if you have the current version)
Option 2: Third-party Partner / Integrator
If you have an older version of CRIsoft, a partner can develop a custom connector
Cost: €2,000-€6,000 for implementation + €100-€300/month
Option 3: Azuvio Smart Layer (EDIconnect + e-Invoicing)
Bi-directional automated connector: CRIsoft ↔ SPV-ANAF
Pre-transmission validation (detects top 10 errors before upload)
Automatic reconciliation: Tax authority status appears directly in CRIsoft
Cost: Included in the multi-retailer EDI package

Recommended e-Invoicing Workflow in CRIsoft
```
1. Generate invoice in CRIsoft (Sales module)
2. Automatic pre-transmission check (validate Tax ID, IBAN, address, VAT)
3. Export compliant CIUS-RO XML
4. Upload to SPV-ANAF (manual or automated via API)
5. Status monitoring (received / processing / validated / rejected)
6. Reconciliation in CRIsoft (status + tax authority registration number)
7. Electronic archiving (10 years according to statutory reporting legislation)
```
Conclusion
e-Invoicing in CRIsoft is functional if you have the current version and follow the validation workflow. If you use an older version or process >200 invoices/month, an automated connector (partner or Smart Layer) saves 2-3 hours daily and eliminates errors.
