You have shipped a batch of goods, the truck is already at the buyer's gate, and he calls: "The electronic invoice (ESF) has not arrived, the cargo is not being passed." Or vice versa — the supplier sent you an incoming electronic invoice (ESF), but the quantity does not match what actually arrived. In both cases, you open the document "Electronic Invoice" in 1C. This is your electronic "pass" for the goods: without an accepted and confirmed invoice, it is officially impossible to move goods on traceable and excise items, and discrepancies will later appear during reconciliation with the ESF information system. Let's break down the object in detail. 1. Purpose The document "Electronic Invoice" (full name — "Electronic Invoice for Goods") generates and accepts electronic invoices that accompany the movement of goods through the state information system ESF. It is issued for import/export, movement within the RK, sale, and movement of traceable, excise, and certain categories of goods. The electronic invoice itself does not create accounting entries for sales — it "operates" based on accounting documents and exchanges statuses with the portal. 2. Where to find Path in the interface: - Sales section → block "ESF" → "Electronic Invoice" (list of outgoing and incoming invoices). - Purchases section → block "ESF" → "Electronic Invoice" — for incoming invoices from suppliers. - Also accessible from "Electronic Documents" (EDO) → electronic invoice journal. Open the list directly in 1C: menu "Service" → "Go to navigation link" and paste: e1cib/list/Document.ElectronicInvoice New document — button "Create"; incoming invoices are pulled in with the button "Refresh"/"Get Incoming" after exchanging with the ESF information system. 2a. How to find out your release Menu "Help" → "About the program" (or the "i" icon in the upper right corner). In the opened window, you will see two lines: platform version (for example, 8.3.24.x) and configuration release — "Accounting for Kazakhstan, version 3.0 (3.0.74.2)". The second line must match the one indicated in the header of this manual. If your release is older — some fields and rules of the electronic invoice may differ. 3. How to fill out It is more convenient to enter the electronic invoice based on the sales or receipt document — then the header and goods will be filled in automatically. But let's go through the fields manually. Header Field Why and what will happen in case of error Type of Electronic Invoice (mandatory) Determines the entire logic: "Sale", "Movement", "Import", "Export", "Return". If the type is incorrect — the portal will return the electronic invoice with a format error, and the composition of the fields will be incorrect. Organization (mandatory) Your legal entity-sender. The IIN/BIN and digital signature certificate are taken from it. An incorrect organization — the invoice will not be signed by the required key. Date (mandatory) Date of issuance. Affects deadlines: the electronic invoice must be issued before the start of the movement of goods, otherwise you risk a fine. Number Assigned automatically after registration in the ESF information system (portal registration number). Do not modify manually. Counterparty / Recipient (mandatory) To whom the goods are going. An incorrect BIN — the invoice will go "the wrong way", and the recipient will not see it in their cabinet. Contract Basis for shipment, affects settlements and is pulled into the related accounting document. Point of departure / Point of destination (mandatory for movement) Loading and unloading addresses. For movement without sale — key fields, the ESF information system tracks the route based on them. Joint Activity Agreement / Operator Filled in specific schemes (simple partnership, transit). Table part "Goods" Field Why and what will happen in case of error Nomenclature (mandatory) Goods. For traceable/excise items, the HS code and traceability indicator in the card are mandatory. If there is no HS code — the portal will reject the line. HS Code (mandatory for traceable) 10-digit commodity nomenclature code. The ESF information system understands that the goods are controlled based on it. Quantity, Unit of measure (mandatory) Physical volume. Discrepancy with the fact upon acceptance — grounds for the buyer to reject the electronic invoice. Price, Amount Cost. For "Sale", it synchronizes with the amount in the ESF. VAT Rate In the RK from 2026 — 16%. The rate must match the related ESF, otherwise the portal will give a mismatch. VAT Amount Calculated automatically from the amount and rate. Declaration number for goods / Application number For imported goods — the GTD number or import application. Mandatory if the goods were previously imported. Signer and submission At the bottom — details of the responsible person and digital signature certificate. Check that the certificate is valid: if the key has expired — the electronic invoice will not be signed and will not be sent. The button "Send" registers the invoice in the ESF information system; after that, the status changes to "Delivered"/"Accepted". 4. An example with entries Situation. LLP "Astana-Trade" (VAT payer) on September 4, 2026, ships to LLP "Client" a batch of traceable goods: 100 units at a price of 5,000 ₸ excluding VAT. Calculation: - Cost excluding VAT: 100 × 5,000 = 500,000 ₸ - VAT 16%: 500,000 × 16% = 80,000 ₸ - Total payable: 580,000 ₸ - Cost of the batch (from account 1330): 300,000 ₸ The electronic invoice itself does not create accounting entries — it accompanies the cargo and goes to the ESF information system. The entries are generated by the related document "Sale of Goods and Services", based on which you enter the electronic invoice (and simultaneously the ESF): Debit Credit Amount, ₸ Content 1210 6010 500,000 Income from sales recognized (excluding VAT) 1210 3130 80,000 VAT payable accrued (16%) 7010 1330 Cost of sold goods written off Total accounts receivable from the buyer (account 1210) — 580,000 ₸. The electronic invoice is "linked" to this sale: the quantity, nomenclature, and HS code in the invoice must match the lines of the sale and the ESF. When the buyer clicks "Accept" in their cabinet, the status of your electronic invoice will become "Confirmed". 5. Types of operations The document supports several types of electronic invoices — selection in the "Type of Electronic Invoice" field: - Sale — shipment to the buyer within the RK. - Movement — between your warehouses/divisions without changing ownership. - Import — import of goods (from the EAEU and third countries), indicating the GTD/application. - Export — export outside the RK. - Return — return of goods to the supplier or from the buyer. - Incoming Electronic Invoice — receiving and confirming/rejecting the invoice from the counterparty. 6. What is generated upon processing - No entries for the electronic invoice — accounting movements are made by the related document of sale/receipt/movement. - Electronic document of the electronic invoice is registered in the ESF information system, assigned a registration number and status ("Draft" → "Delivered" → "Confirmed"/"Rejected"). - Registers of information on electronic documents (statuses, identifiers, exchange history) are updated, linking with the ESF and accounting document. - For traceable goods, data goes to the traceability module of the ESF information system. 7. Printed forms Available from the document: - Invoice for Goods (Electronic Invoice) — printed form according to the format of the ESF information system. - Print with QR code / registration number — for accompanying the cargo. - Export to XML for manual upload to the portal and PDF for archiving is possible. The "Print" button on the document form opens the list of available forms. 8. Common errors "HS code not filled in line №..." For traceable/excise goods, the HS code is empty. Open the nomenclature card, fill in the HS code and traceability indicator, and refill the line. "Digital signature certificate not found / expired" The signature key is expired or not set. Update the certificate in the organization's digital signature settings and resend. "Electronic invoice rejected by recipient: discrepancy in quantity" Less/more actually arrived than in the invoice. Issue a corrective/modified electronic invoice or agree with the recipient and issue it again. "VAT rate does not match ESF data" One document has one rate, the ESF has another. Bring both documents to the current rate of 16%. "Date of electronic invoice later than the date of the start of movement" The invoice was issued "retroactively" concerning the movement of goods. The electronic invoice must be issued before the start of movement — correct the date/order of issuance. "Submission error: no connection with the ESF information system" The portal is unavailable or the exchange is not configured. Check the internet, exchange settings with the ESF information system, and try again later with the "Send" button. 9. FAQ (see the Q&A block below — matches the FAQ) Is it mandatory to issue an electronic invoice for all goods? No. The electronic invoice is mandatory for traceable, excise, imported/exported, and certain categories of goods from the list. For ordinary goods in free circulation, an electronic invoice is generally not required. How does the electronic invoice differ from the ESF? The ESF is an electronic invoice (tax document for VAT). The electronic invoice is a transport document, a "pass" for the physical movement of goods. Both documents can be issued for one operation, and their data must match. Does the electronic invoice create accounting entries? No. Entries are generated by the related document of sale, receipt, or movement. The electronic invoice only accompanies the cargo and exchanges statuses with the ESF information system. What VAT rate should be applied in 2026? 16%. The 12% rate applied to previous periods and is not used in the current release for sales in 2026. How to accept an incoming electronic invoice from the supplier? Receive incoming invoices in the electronic invoice journal, open the document, verify the quantity and nomenclature with the fact, and click "Accept" or "Reject" with a reason. What to do if I made a mistake in the sent electronic invoice? Issue a corrected or revoked electronic invoice (depending on the status on the portal). If the recipient has not confirmed yet — it can be revoked and issued again. When should the electronic invoice be issued? Before the start of the movement of goods. Issuing "retroactively" concerning the actual movement of goods is unacceptable and risks a fine. Is an HS code required for each product? Only for traceable and imported items — it is mandatory there. The ESF information system identifies controlled goods based on it. Can the electronic invoice be entered based on a sale? Yes, and this is the recommended method: the header, counterparty, and goods will be filled in automatically, and the data will match the entries and ESF. 10. Related documents The electronic invoice is entered based on: - "Sale of Goods and Services" — outgoing electronic invoice for sale. - "Receipt of Goods and Services" — reconciliation of incoming electronic invoice. - "Movement of Goods" — electronic invoice for internal movement. - "GTD for import" / import application — import electronic invoice. Based on the electronic invoice / together with it, the following are issued: - ESF (electronic invoice) — for the same sale operation. - Sale / Receipt — if the electronic invoice came first and the accounting document is created from it.
