What is the XML of an electronic invoice in Ecuador?
A short, verifiable explanation for food-service businesses in Ecuador.
The structured file
The XML contains the electronic-invoice fields under the SRI technical schema. It is not simply an image or PDF of the bill.
Signing and transmission
Electronic issuance generates the document, incorporates the issuer electronic signature, and transmits it to the SRI. The SRI publishes XSD schemas and a technical specification for these documents.
XML compared with RIDE
The RIDE makes the document easier for a person to read; the XML is the structured issuance file. Keep references to both for later queries.
