YM-QQ I'm technical Dev for ERP system Business central. I've checked your site. If I want to integrate E-invoicing through my system do I have to register only as a System Integrator(SI) or I have to Register as Both SI and APP? And If I only register as SI do I have all functionality of API to register and Sign E-invoice. Please can you let me Know about that. Thanks!
SysAdmin Dear YM-QQ & Luiz, Your registration type as a service provider on the e-Invoicing system depends on the role you intend to play within the ecosystem. System Integrators (SIs) are responsible for adapting and standardizing internal accounting or ERP systems to conform with the specifications defined by the FIRS. Their primary role is to ensure that invoice data is structured in the correct format from the source system. Access Point Providers (APPs), on the other hand, are responsible for securely transmitting, reporting, and signing invoices. This includes delivering invoices across parties through the e-Invoice exchange platform. As such, API keys and permissions are scoped based on the registration type, and each type can only perform functions aligned with its designated role.
Luiz Hello, thank you for your reply, but the doubt is if we as company the send invoices to customers, need to contract a 3 party to be our System integrators, or if we can act as SIs to our company. We want to do everything in house. Regards, Luiz
SysAdmin Dear Luiz, You can act as your own System Integrator if you have the internal capacity. However, to serve as your own Access Point Provider, you will need to register on the FIRS portal https://einvoice.firs.gov.ng/serivce-providers/accesspoint-providers/register and review NITDA's guidelines https://nitda.gov.ng/sdm_downloads/regulatory-guidelines-for-electronic-invoicing-in-nigeria/ to determine your eligibility.
Luiz For System integrator, don't we need to register as well? For access point provider, is there a 3 party that can be hired, right?
SysAdmin As a System Integrator providing internal services for your company, registration isn't required. Taxpayers can access the necessary details and keys for invoicing standardization on their portal. For Access Point Provider (APP), taxpayers can engage APP by selecting or switching APP through their portal.
Luiz ok, thank you for your reply. as a System integrator, how can i gain access to the host for the postman, because i looked at the example for post, but the host is missing.
SysAdmin To obtain the base URL (Host): Taxpayer: Check the API Integration tab on the Taxpayer's portal. Access Point Providers (APP): Check the Developers tab on the APP Portal. System Integrators (SI): Check the API Integration tab on the SI portal.
Luiz another question, i did not find a list of Access point providers i can hire, can you help me with that, please? Regards, Luiz
SysAdmin The list will be published on the website upon completion of the ongoing NITDA/FIRS screenings and certifications for prospective Service Providers.
