Prepare to send the electronic invoices (e-invoices)

In order to start using a template for working with electronic invoices (e-invoices), you must do the following:

1. Register your Pulsar system on the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) website.
2. Enable the special (plugin) program, which will help you to sign your electronic invoices (e-invoices) with the electronic signature. Turning on the plugin for sending an electronic invoice (e-invoice) is like turning on the light in a room.
3. Connecting the electronic signature to sign an electronic invoice (e-invoice) is like adding your signature on paper, but in a digital format.
