In this document, the technical details necessary to complete and make possible the implementation and compliance with the specifications of article 14 "Electronic signature of billing records" of Order XXXXXX are provided, which develops the technical, functional, and content specifications referred to in the regulation that establishes the requirements that must be adopted by the systems and computer or electronic programs that support the billing processes of entrepreneurs and professionals, and the standardization of billing record formats, approved by Royal Decree 1007/2023, of December 5, and in article 6.5 of the regulation that regulates billing obligations, approved by Royal Decree 1619/2012, of November 30.
