The essentials
- The e-CF keeps the NCF's logic; what changes is that the document is electronic and signed.
- Important addition: commercial approval. The recipient can accept or reject.
- You need a digital certificate from an authorized entity.
- Promec doesn't yet issue e-CF in the Dominican Republic.
For a Dominican shop the e-CF doesn't change the logic of receipts — the NCF still determines which type you issue — but it does change the pace. With paper, the invoice was done once you handed it over. With e-CF, it's done once the customer approves it, which makes collections a bit more dependent on someone on the other end taking action.
What Promec does today in Dominican Republic. The system runs the whole shop — AI quotes, scheduling, the mechanic's app, inventory, the customer portal and accounting — and it invoices with your own series, your own taxes and your own currency. What it
doesn't do yet is issue electronic fiscal receipts (comprobantes fiscales electrónicos, e-CF) with the DGII. That integration is in development and we don't have a date for it; until then, issuing stays with your current invoicing provider. We're telling you this before you sign up, not after:
here is where direct integration already exists.
Commercial approval changes collections
It's the biggest practical difference from paper. When you invoice a fleet, the cycle becomes: you issue, you send, the DGII receives it, and the customer approves or rejects it commercially. A rejection isn't a disaster, but it is a state where the invoice sits stalled — and someone has to see it.
What you need to be able to check at a glance
Which e-CF have been issued, which the DGII has accepted, which the customer has approved, and which have gone days without a response. If that list doesn't exist anywhere, rejections get discovered when the money is missing.
The NCF isn't going anywhere
The receipt type still determines what you issue: tax credit, consumption, credit notes. A shop that already had a clear handle on when to use each one doesn't have to relearn any of that; what it has to learn is the document's new circuit.
What the management program has to deliver
- The receipt type decided from the customer's record, not improvised at checkout.
- The order closed with its final amount and separate line items.
- A visible status per invoice, including the customer's response.
- The files kept and downloadable.

FAQ
Does the NCF disappear with the e-CF?
No. The e-CF keeps the logic of the Número de Comprobante Fiscal (Fiscal Receipt Number), with its type depending on the transaction. What changes is the medium: the document becomes electronic, signed and submitted to the DGII.
What's commercial approval?
It's the recipient's response: whoever receives the receipt can accept or reject it commercially. For a shop that invoices fleets and businesses, this means the invoice isn't finished when it's sent — it's finished when the customer approves it.
Does the requirement apply to my shop already?
The move to e-CF has been rolled out in stages by taxpayer type, on a timeline set by regulation. Which stage applies to you depends on your classification: confirm it with your accountant, because the dates have kept shifting.
Do I need a digital certificate?
Yes, a digital certificate to sign receipts, issued by an authorized certification entity. It expires, and it's worth keeping the date somewhere visible.
Does the DGII certify shop software?
No. It authorizes taxpayers as electronic issuers and validates receipts. There's no seal for shop software.
