Guide: E-Invoicing and Live Reporting

# Get started with ELR

Overview of E-Invoicing and Live Reporting (ELR), including how it supports document submission, status tracking, and integration planning.

E-Invoicing and Live Reporting (ELR) helps you automate document exchange and meet country-specific compliance requirements.

To integrate with ELR, you’ll work with APIs to submit documents, track their status, and manage responses from tax authorities and networks.

Before you start building your integration, review the planning requirements and understand how ELR fits into your system and business processes.

As part of the integration, you will:

-   Set up your ELR environment
-   Configure companies and mandates
-   Submit and monitor documents
-   Validate document flows and responses

Use this guide to plan, build, and test your integration step by step.
