To work with electronic invoices in 1C, you need to configure a connection to the ESF information system. The setup includes checking the connection to the service, selecting an electronic digital signature, creating a user, and, if necessary, downloading ESF from the ESF IS into the program.
How to configure the connection
Checking the connection to the service. First of all, you need to make sure that 1C can exchange data with the ESF IS — the connection to the service is checked.
Selecting an EDS. An electronic digital signature is required to sign and send electronic invoices — it needs to be selected in the connection settings.
Creating a user. Next, a user is created on whose behalf work with the ESF IS will take place — issuing, receiving, and signing documents.
Downloading ESF from the ESF IS. Once the setup is complete, you can download electronic invoices into 1C that have already been issued or received through the ESF IS — this allows you to synchronize data between the system and the accounting database.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if the connection to the service cannot be established?
You need to check that the connection settings are correct and make sure that all previous steps — selecting the EDS and creating a user — have been completed correctly.
Is it mandatory to create a new user if one already exists in the ESF IS?
The setup in 1C involves creating a user specifically for the program to work with the service — this step is part of the connection process.
Can I download existing ESF after the setup is complete?
Yes, once the connection is configured, downloading electronic invoices from the ESF IS becomes available as a separate function.
