ISDOC, or Information System Document, is an electronic invoicing format used in the Czech Republic, defined by the "Working Group for Electronic Data Exchange Standards" of the ICT Union association, and is supported by the Flexi system. Manufacturers of accounting and enterprise systems will use a standardized form for exporting and receiving electronic messages, enabling users of different applications to communicate with one another. The ISDOC format was officially announced on March 19, 2009.

An electronic invoice import can be initiated in the following ways:

Once launched, the first step of the ISDOC invoice import wizard will appear:

Enter or select the file containing the electronic invoice (usually with the .isdoc extension) and click Next.

A check is then performed to verify whether the imported invoice belongs to the invoiced company. If the company registration number (IČO) indicates a different recipient, you will be warned with a confirmation prompt before the invoice is loaded.

In the second step, you will see the key details from the imported invoice (verification of any electronic signature, supplier, amount) so that you can review them.

If you do not wish to import the invoice, you can click Previous to return to the first step and select a different file, or click Cancel to exit the wizard entirely. If the details are correct and you wish to proceed with the import, select the Document type and Accounting operation type, then continue by clicking Next.

If the sender of the electronic invoice is not found in the address book, you will be offered the option to create a new company. Similarly, if the certificate used to sign the document is not found among the registered certificates, you will be offered the option to import it.

If the imported document contains deducted advances, you will need to assign an advance document to each of them. If a suitable advance document is found, the application will suggest it automatically.

In the final step of the wizard, you will see the result of the import and, if applicable, the number of the imported document. If the document cannot be loaded into the records in its received form, a new document form will be pre-filled with its values (meaning the document will not be saved), allowing you to correct any problematic data or fill in any missing details. Click Finish to close the wizard.

Loading invoices in ISDOC format also supports XML namespace prefixes.

Available from the Premium license tier — the add-on requires a one-time activation fee.

Using advanced parameterization, ISDOC imports into ABRA Flexi can be automated. The advanced parameter ensures that after a user logs in to the company, the system downloads ISDOC files from a predefined folder on the PC. The ISDOC file is loaded automatically, after which the user is prompted to complete the import form for the Received Invoices register.

Loaded ISDOC files can also be moved to any folder as "processed" using advanced parameterization.

Available from the Premium license tier — the add-on requires a one-time activation fee.

Advanced parameterization also enables importing ISDOC into issued invoices. By importing this parameter into ABRA Flexi, you gain the ability to import ISDOC files into the Issued Invoices register as well — however, this is only available manually (an Import ISDOC e-invoice button will be added to the Issued Invoices register, as shown in the screenshot). Automatic import for issued invoices is not supported.

Invoices in ISDOC format can be imported in bulk via the web interface, where multiple files can be uploaded at once.
