1. Steps to upload a file

Go to Invoicing → Outgoing → Bulk Uploads. In the left menu, expand Invoicing, then Outgoing, and click Bulk Uploads.
Click "Create Invoice". A window opens to choose the creation method.
Select "Bulk Upload". Choose the option on the left (cloud icon with an arrow).
Select the adapter. In Select adapter, choose the Chile adapter of the company that issues the documents and click Next.
Upload the file. Upload the completed template. You can follow the result of each document in the upload detail.

2. Template

Request the Chile template from your Account Executive (AE) and fill it in following the format of each column.

The template has two tabs:

Template CL: the columns to fill in. Red headers are mandatory.
Reference: a short description of each column.

❗️
Clean the template before uploading
The Template CL tab comes with an example row, sample values and a color legend. Delete all of it before you add your own rows, so the file only contains your documents.

3. Rules for every row

Value not accepted for a fixed field	`Invoice`, `Credit Note`, `Business` with capital letters.	Use lowercase.
Wrong RUT	RUT with dots, without the hyphen, or without the verification digit.	`76123456-7`.
Amounts with decimals in CLP	`1000.50` in a CLP document.	Use whole numbers.
Wrong VAT	`19` instead of `0.19`, or VAT amount does not match amount × rate.	Decimal rate; VAT amount rounded to a whole number.
VAT on an exempt document	`invoice exempt` or `ticket exempt` with VAT.	Use `0` for VAT rate and VAT amount.
Wrong date	Date in `dd/mm/yyyy` or `mm/dd/yyyy`.	Use `yyyy-mm-dd` and format the cell as text.
Wrong region	Region name instead of its code.	Use the ISO code, for example `CL-RM`.

5. Checking the result

Go to Invoicing → Outgoing → Bulk Uploads and open the upload with the eye icon.
Download the report. The last columns show the error message for each failed row.
Fix only the failed rows and upload them again in a new file.
