Exploring eTIMS Integration Solutions: PDF versus API Integration
eTIMS compliance has become an integral part of businesses today. In this regard, eTIMS integration solutions have two options that facilitate efficient invoice generation: PDF Integration and API Integration. Each of the options addresses different business needs, hence the flexibility in the way organizational integration could be done in line with KRA requirements.
PDF Integration is ideal in scenarios where your business is already generating invoices in PDF format. It extracts key data field numbers, buyer details, and amounts from existing PDFs. Once the data is processed, eTIMS places a scannable KRA QR code onto the invoice. The QR code will include basic tax data that meet the standards stipulated by KRA. It's easy, inexpensive, and doesn't require many changes to your operation.
API Integration, however, does have a more specific target: a business using dynamic systems can easily communicate in real time. This solution will allow the business system to directly transmit invoice data to eTIMS in structured formats like JSON or XML. Data is processed by eTIMS, validated, and with a KRA QR code instantly embedded. API Integration is beneficial for real-time processing, eliminating manual steps and reducing delays.
Both solutions ensure tax compliance while catering to different levels of technological capability. Whether your business thrives in simplicity with PDF Integration or requires advanced automation in API Integration, we have you covered. These options give a business the powerhouse ability to upgrade its invoicing processes while responding to a new regulatory need by KRA.
