Invoice (Factura Electrónica, 33)

{
  "e_invoice": true,
  "currency": "CLP",
  "supplier_company_id": "{{supplier_company_id}}",
  "invoice_date": "2026-10-21",
  "invoice_due_date": "2026-11-20",
  "document_type": "invoice",
  "invoice_type": "debit",
  "invoice_external_id": "{{invoice_external_id}}",
  "buyer": {
    "company": {
      "legal_name": "Buyer Company SpA",
      "category_code": "{{giro}}",
      "type": "business",
      "address": {
        "address_line_1": "Av. Apoquindo 1234",
        "neighborhood": "Las Condes",
        "city": "Santiago",
        "country": "CL"
      },
      "tax_registrations": [
        {
          "number": "77000000-0",
          "type": "RUT",
          "level": "country",
          "location": "CL"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "items": [
    {
      "name": "Test Service",
      "description": "Servicio de prueba",
      "quantity": 1,
      "amount": 100000,
      "item_external_id": "{{item_external_id}}",
      "taxes": [
        {
          "name": "IVA",
          "type": "VAT",
          "rate": 0.19,
          "rate_type": "percentage",
          "amount": 19000
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Notes:

items[].amount is the net amount (without IVA). When quantity is greater than 1, also send items[].unit_amount (net unit price).
buyer.company.category_code is the buyer's business activity (Giro).
buyer.company.address.neighborhood is the comuna.
invoice_due_date sets the payment method: Cash when empty or equal to invoice_date, Credit otherwise.
The buyer RUT is required for invoice, invoice exempt and purchase invoice.

Ticket (Boleta Electrónica, 39)

Same structure as the invoice, with document_type: "ticket". The buyer can be a person without a RUT: Brinta then uses the SII generic RUT (66666666-6).

{
  "e_invoice": true,
  "currency": "CLP",
  "supplier_company_id": "{{supplier_company_id}}",
  "invoice_date": "2026-10-21",
  "document_type": "ticket",
  "invoice_type": "debit",
  "invoice_external_id": "{{invoice_external_id}}",
  "buyer": {
    "company": {
      "legal_name": "Final Consumer",
      "type": "person",
      "address": {
        "country": "CL"
      }
    }
  },
  "items": [
    {
      "name": "Test Product",
      "quantity": 1,
      "amount": 10000,
      "taxes": [
        {
          "name": "IVA",
          "type": "VAT",
          "rate": 0.19,
          "rate_type": "percentage",
          "amount": 1900
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Credit Note (Nota de Crédito Electrónica, 61)

Reference the original document with original_invoice_id or original_invoice_external_id. Brinta builds the SII reference (document type, folio and date) from the original document. See API Credit Notes Creation for the general rules.

{
  "e_invoice": true,
  "currency": "CLP",
  "supplier_company_id": "{{supplier_company_id}}",
  "invoice_date": "2026-10-25",
  "document_type": "credit note",
  "invoice_type": "credit",
  "reason": "void",
  "original_invoice_external_id": "{{original_invoice_external_id}}",
  "invoice_external_id": "{{invoice_external_id}}",
  "buyer": {
    "company": {
      "legal_name": "Buyer Company SpA",
      "type": "business",
      "address": {
        "country": "CL"
      },
      "tax_registrations": [
        {
          "number": "77000000-0",
          "type": "RUT",
          "level": "country",
          "location": "CL"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "items": [
    {
      "name": "Test Service",
      "quantity": 1,
      "amount": 100000,
      "taxes": [
        {
          "name": "IVA",
          "type": "VAT",
          "rate": 0.19,
          "rate_type": "percentage",
          "amount": 19000
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

reason sets the reference reason sent to the SII:

`reason`	Reference reason
`void` (or not sent)	Anulacion
`return`	Cambio en items
`discount`, `debit note`	Cambio en montos

The original document must already be issued (have its SII folio) before the note is sent.

Debit notes work the same way, with document_type: "debit note" and invoice_type: "debit".

Export (Factura de Exportación, 110)

Use document_type: "export", a foreign buyer and the required export_reason. If the buyer has no RUT, Brinta uses the SII generic foreign RUT. See Export Reason.

Referencing a purchase order, HES or other documents

Many large buyers match each invoice against their purchase order (OC) or service entry sheet (HES) before paying it. To include those references in the DTE, use relations[]. See Related Documents (relations).
