What is the DIRE code?

The DIRE code is a code that must be included in the electronic invoice when you need to send it through the FACeB2B General Point of Entry, and that serves to correctly address the invoice to your client.

Each receiver can have one or several codes, which can be related to departments, delegations or works in which the company participates. Moreover, they are mandatory data to be able to send an electronic invoice through FACeB2B2B. A DIRE code is composed of the NIF of the owner company plus four digits at the end. For example ESA35148741000.

How to obtain the DIRE code

Each receiving company has its own DIRE. For this reason, your customer will have to provide you with this information when you have to send them an invoice. There is also an alternative, the B2Brouter directory, where you will find all the DIRE related to a company.

How to add the DIRE code to the electronic invoice

You have to create an invoice in order to add the DIRE. To do this, access the Invoices section through the main menu above and then select Invoices issued from the options that are activated under the menu. Next, use the Create invoice option. Next:

• From the Customer drop-down, select the invoice recipient.
• If the selected receiver is in the B2Brouter directory, the option Organizational unit is activated.
• Select the DIRE code in the Organizational Unit dropdown.

Finally, continue creating the invoice and the DIRE code will already be present.

If the Organizational Unit is not activated

If you have followed the previous steps but the drop-down Organizational Unit is not activated, it means that the customer you have selected is not in the B2Brouter directory. In this case, you have the following option:

Create and assign the organizational units to the client.

You can create the organizational units assigned to each receiver. To do this, access the Contacts section through the top main menu and open the company by clicking on the name:

• On the next page, select Add organizational unit located on the left.

You can then add the data to the Organizational Unit with the corresponding DIRE code:

• In the menu on the left, select Fiscal data, enter the name and address. They can match those of the main company.
• Fill in the other options you want/need.
• In the same left menu, select Invoices.
• Go to Method of sending invoices.
• Add the DIRE code in Service code.

Finally, save the changes using the Save option and repeat the process to create as many organizational units as you need for each customer.
