Start invoicing with Rauva
Here’s how to begin issuing invoices with Rauva.
First, you’ll need to create a sub-user connected to your tax portal—this process only needs to be completed once and will enable invoice integration with the Rauva app.
How to create the Sub-user
First, go to the Portuguese Tax Authority (AT) website:
- Access the Tax Portal and login with your business existing credentials.
- If you are a freelancer, use your login credentials; In the case of being a company, use the company's login credentials.
- After logging in, click on the magnifying glass and search for "Gestão de Utilizadores", using the search bar at the top. Click on the magnifying glass again to search.
- Select the first option "Gestão de Utilizadores".
- Then, click on "Criar um novo utilizador", to create the Sub-user ID.
- Fill in all the fields, define the access password (keep this nearby, you need it in future steps).
- Then, where you see Operações Autorizadas, you must activate:
- WSE - Comunicação e Gestão de séries por webservice
- WFA - Comunicação de dados de faturas
- Additionally, if you issue transport guides, you must also activate WDT - Comunicação de dados de documentos de transportes
- Then, click Submeter.
The new Sub-user ID should look something like this: 234000000/1. Meaning.: (VAT/1).
How to link the Sub-user to your Rauva account
-
From the Menu, go to the Invoices section, and complete the required fields:
a. Company name.
b. NIPC or NIF.
c. IBAN to receive payments.
d. BIC / Swift and click continue.
- Let us know if you have the AT credentials of your company.
-
Let us know if the sub-user is already created.
-
Note: If you have an accountant with us, the accountant usually creates and shares the sub-user's credentials with you.)
-
- Enter the Sub-user ID and password you just set up in the Portuguese Tax Authority Portal;
- Indicate how you normally report invoices (Automatic (what we suggest) or via SAF-T file) and what your VAT rate is.
And congratulations! 🎉
You're all set to create your first invoice.
