COVE – Unique Invoice

COVE is the electronic value receipt validated by a system that previously receives the information of very important documents. These documents include the value of the merchandise as well as (in the case of consolidated remesas) crossing papers.
Crossing Papers
 consist of pro forma invoices, packing lists, and any of the following documents listed below which prove the value of the merchandise:
  • Fiscal Invoices
  • Import Invoices
  • Remission Notes
  • Value Declarations
These documents are homologated in an XML e-file. This e-file eliminates the need for a physical document.
To generate a unique invoice.
  1. Choose an invoice from the
    Work With Invoices
     grid and hover the cursor over the downward facing arrow in the second leftmost column.
  2. A menu will appear. Select
    Representative for COVE
     to open the
    Representative for COVE
     pop-up, which contains all available representative options.
  3. Click on the drop-down, select a representative, and then click
    Save
    .
The system will then update the value of the
COVE Representative
 field. The next step in this process is to send COVE.
  1. In order to perform this task, return to the same invoice you selected earlier and choose
    Send COVE
     from the menu. The system will then generate the XML that will be sent to Unique Window.
    The products will be displayed in the same sequence as they were added and arranged on the
    Edit Invoice
     screen.
  2. After the COVE data has been successfully transmitted, the system will change the invoice status to
    COVE Transmitted – Results Pending
    .
  3. Wait approximately 20 seconds.
  4. Re-select the same invoice and choose
    Get COVE
     from the menu.
The system will then receive an answer from VUCEM COVE. If the VUCEM COVE answer was successful, the invoice’s status will change to
Pending Close
.
If the VUCEM COVE answer was unsuccessful; the
Invoice Status
 will be
Rejected by COVE
.
It is also possible to execute the COVE Manual, COVE Contingency, and Import COVE Response Files. See the
Alternate COVE Process
 section of this User Guide for more details.
