The e-Fatura reconciliation problem every Portuguese accountant knows

The AT e-Fatura portal (faturas.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt) shows every invoice your clients' suppliers communicated — linked by NIF, by month, by category. It is AT's record of what should be in your books. The problem is the gap: invoices on the portal the client never forwarded. Invoices in the books the supplier apparently never communicated. Pending invoices (faturas pendentes) that need classification before the annual IRS deadline. Doing this cross-check manually means switching between the portal and your accounting system, line by line, NIF by NIF. Faturiza is not a replacement for that portal. It is what makes the comparison clean: a structured, searchable record of every invoice your client actually received and processed — with supplier NIF, date, amount, and IVA breakdown — ready to compare against what AT shows.

How Faturiza makes e-Fatura reconciliation faster

  • One structured record of every received invoice

    Every invoice your client emails, uploads, or forwards is captured by AI and stored with the fields that matter — supplier NIF, date, amount, IVA. The exact data you need to compare against the e-Fatura portal.

  • Find the invoices your client forgot to send

    Cross-referencing Faturiza against the e-Fatura portal surfaces the most common problem: invoices the supplier communicated to AT that the client never forwarded to you. Catch them before the SAF-T deadline.

  • Structured data for every received invoice

    Faturiza structures received invoice data in the fields required for SAF-T — so once you've reconciled against e-Fatura, your data is already ready to validate and export.

  • One dashboard — every client

    Switch between client organisations in one click. Each client's received invoices are isolated, organised, and ready for the monthly e-Fatura cross-check — without mixing data between mandates.

  • Your data stays in your Google Drive

    Faturiza files every received invoice to the client's own Google Drive and updates their Google Sheet. You always own the data — no lock-in, no hostage records if you cancel.

  • IVA breakdown line by line

    AI extracts the IVA rate and taxable base for each invoice — not just the total. The detail you need for deductibility checks and IVA returns without re-opening every PDF.

Frequently asked questions about e-Fatura reconciliation

The AT e-Fatura portal (faturas.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt) aggregates every invoice your suppliers communicated using your NIF. E-Fatura reconciliation is the process of comparing what AT has against what is actually in your books — to find missing invoices, resolve supplier communication errors, and classify pending invoices before the annual deadline. Getting it wrong can cost you IVA deductions and create discrepancies that surface in a SAF-T audit.

Invoices appear as pending (faturas pendentes) when AT cannot automatically classify them — typically because the issuer has multiple activity codes or because the buyer also has professional or business activity. Pending invoices must be classified before the annual deadline. Invoices left unclassified after the deadline do not count toward IRS personal deductions or toward deductible business expenses.

There are several causes: the client received the invoice but forgot to forward it; the supplier communicated an old or corrected invoice; the supplier used the wrong NIF; or it is a personal expense that should not be booked. Each case needs a different response. Faturiza helps by giving you a clean, searchable list of everything the client actually received and processed — making it faster to identify which e-Fatura entries are genuinely missing from your records.

No. Faturiza does not access or sync with the AT portal. What Faturiza does is build your structured record of received invoices — from emails, PDFs, photos, and Google Drive — with the supplier NIF, date, amount, and IVA breakdown already extracted. You bring that record to the portal comparison. Faturiza is the clean starting point; the portal is the reference.

They solve different problems. Bank reconciliation matches bank payments to invoices — confirming that money moved and linked to the right document. E-Fatura reconciliation compares AT's record of invoices communicated by suppliers against your accounting records — confirming that every invoice is captured, classified, and not missing. You may need both: bank reconciliation for cash flow and payment completeness, e-Fatura reconciliation for compliance and IVA deductibility.

After suppliers have had time to communicate their invoices (the monthly SAF-T deadline). Running it at month-end as a final audit step means you discover surprises when you have the least time to resolve them. An earlier check lets you chase missing invoices proactively before the SAF-T deadline.
