Read this first: it is NOT an electronic invoice.
An electronic invoice is a digitally signed XML file transmitted to the Ministry of Finance.
This document is paper, and it is for a quotation, a proforma, an internal
record or keeping track of something. It does not replace an electronic document and
it does not support input VAT.

Document with no tax value. It is not an electronic document authorised by the Costa Rican Ministry of Finance.
What a real electronic invoice carries
If what you need is to invoice for real, these are the items the rules require and that this template cannot give you, because they are not written by hand: they are calculated and signed.
- The 50-digit key, built by a rule rather than invented
- The sequential number, which cannot skip or repeat
- The CABYS code of each line, which determines the VAT rate
- The digital signature made with your signing certificate
- The tax authority's response, which is what turns the file into a document

When the quotation turns into a sale
The XML is built, signed and transmitted, the response is kept, and the PDF for your customer comes with it.
