Learn moreThe key concepts that Swifto handles natively on your invoices and payslips.
VAT is an indirect tax added to the price of goods and services and collected by the company on behalf of the State. In Tunisia, it applies at several rates depending on the nature of the product. On an invoice, it is calculated on the pre-tax amount to obtain the tax-inclusive amount.
Compliant invoicing with SwiftoThe fiscal stamp is a fixed-amount stamp duty added to the invoice in Tunisia, independently of VAT. It applies in particular to invoices intended for customers and is a mandatory legal mention on the document.
See the Sales moduleWithholding tax is an amount deducted by the customer (or the State) from a sum to be paid and remitted directly to the tax authorities. It reduces the net amount actually received by the supplier, who in return receives a withholding certificate proving the tax already paid.
Handled natively by SwiftoAn electronic invoice is an invoice issued, transmitted and stored in digital form, with legal value equivalent to paper. In Tunisia, the national El Fatoora system, operated by Tunisie TradeNet (TTN), governs the digitization of invoices and their secure transmission to the authorities.
All about electronic invoicingCNSS is the social security body for private-sector employees in Tunisia. On payroll, contributions are deducted from the employee and supplemented by an employer share, then declared and remitted to CNSS.
Compliant payroll with SwiftoIRPP is the tax levied on the income of individuals, including salaries. On a Tunisian payslip, it is calculated in brackets on the taxable salary, after deductions (in particular for family situation and dependent children), then withheld at source by the employer.
See the HR & Payroll moduleCSS is a Tunisian contribution calculated on taxable income, in addition to IRPP. On payroll, it is deducted from the employee's salary and declared with the other tax and social deductions.
Calculated automatically by SwiftoThe weighted average cost (CUMP) is an inventory valuation method that recalculates, on each receipt, an average cost taking into account the quantities and prices already present and the new receipt. It is used to know the value of the stock and the cost of goods issued consistently over time.
See the Inventory moduleA stock count is the physical counting of the items actually present in stock, compared with the quantities recorded in the system. The discrepancies found generate correction movements so that the theoretical stock reflects the reality on the ground.
Manage your stock countsThe expiry date is the date beyond which a perishable product must no longer be sold or consumed. In inventory management, tracking the expiry date by batch allows products to be sold in order of expiry and to be alerted before expiration, in order to limit losses.
Batch & expiry date trackingA batch is a set of items produced or received together, identified by a number. Batch traceability makes it possible to follow this number throughout the chain, from receipt to sale, in order to trace the origin of a product and, if necessary, carry out a targeted recall.
Traceability in SwiftoMulti-warehouse (or multi-store) management makes it possible to track the quantities of the same item across several distinct storage locations — warehouses, points of sale, on-board stock — and to carry out traceable transfers from one to another.
Multi-warehouse stockComputer-aided production management (GPAO) drives manufacturing in an industrial company. The manufacturing order is the document that triggers a production run: it consumes raw materials and components from stock and brings in the valued finished products, ensuring traceability between what is consumed and what is produced.
See the Production moduleBank reconciliation consists of comparing the transactions recorded in the company's accounting with those appearing on the bank statement, in order to justify each discrepancy and ensure that the account balance is accurate.
See the Finance moduleMulti-currency management makes it possible to draw up commercial documents and record transactions in several currencies, applying an exchange rate for conversion. It is essential for companies that buy or sell abroad.
Multi-currency in SwiftoA point of sale, or POS (Point Of Sale), is the register where direct customer payment takes place. Cash register software manages register sessions, multi-method payments and receipt printing, while updating stock and cash flow in real time.
See cash register managementMobile selling (or direct route selling) consists of selling from a vehicle loaded with goods, during rounds at customers' premises. The seller manages their on-board stock, issues issue and return notes and collects payment on the spot, ideally via a mobile app that syncs with headquarters.
