Introduction
Turkey has expanded digital tax and e-document requirements through turnover-based and sector-specific rules, making E-Fatura, E-Arşiv, E-İrsaliye, and KDV management increasingly important for businesses.
Odoo ERP brings accounting and business operations into one platform. With Turkish localization and the right e-document integrations, businesses can manage invoicing, taxes, inventory, sales, and other processes more efficiently.
Understanding Turkey's E-Invoicing System
Turkey's digital invoicing framework includes E-Fatura, E-Arşiv, and E-İrsaliye. Each serves a different purpose and is subject to specific eligibility and regulatory requirements.
E-Fatura (E-Invoice)
E-Fatura is an electronic invoice exchanged between businesses that fall within the applicable E-Fatura requirements. It is issued and processed through the GİB system or an authorized private integrator.
E-Arşiv Fatura
E-Arşiv Fatura is used for electronic invoices issued to customers who are not registered in the E-Fatura system, including consumers and certain businesses. The invoice is electronically archived and reported according to applicable GİB requirements.
E-İrsaliye (E-Waybill)
E-İrsaliye is the electronic version of the delivery note used when goods are transported. For businesses subject to the relevant requirements, it replaces paper delivery notes and helps connect goods movement with inventory and invoicing processes.
| Document | Purpose | Common Use | Linked Process |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-Fatura | B2B/B2G electronic invoicing | Businesses subject to E-Fatura requirements | Accounting, Sales |
| E-Arşiv Fatura | B2C and non-registered invoicing | Customers outside the E-Fatura system | Accounting, Retail |
| E-İrsaliye | Digital delivery note | Businesses subject to E-İrsaliye requirements | Inventory, Logistics |
KDV (VAT) in Turkey: Rates & Automation
Turkey's KDV system includes three main rates: 20% standard, 10% reduced, and 1% for specific goods and services. KDV is generally declared on a monthly basis through the Turkish tax system.
Managing different KDV rates, input and output tax, and tax reporting manually can create unnecessary work for finance teams. Odoo's Turkish localization provides configured tax rules, fiscal positions, and reporting tools, while its invoicing features can automate VAT calculation based on the configured tax setup.
Odoo Turkish Localization: Key Features
Odoo's Turkish localization provides the accounting and tax configurations needed to support Turkish business requirements, including:
- Turkish Chart of Accounts for localized accounting and reporting
- KDV tax configuration for standard, reduced, and applicable tax transactions
- E-Fatura, E-Arşiv, and E-İrsaliye integration through supported electronic document providers
- Withholding tax (tevkifat) configuration for applicable transactions
- E-Defter support for digital ledger requirements
- Localized financial reporting for accounting and statutory reporting
With these localization features, businesses can connect their financial processes with sales, purchasing, inventory, and other operations within Odoo instead of managing them across disconnected systems.
