The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) has released the e-Faktur 4.0 application on July 20 2024. However, the installer for the e-Faktur 4.0 application can actually be downloaded from July 12 2024, but it is recommended not to use it before the release date.

In connection with preparations for the release of e-Invoice 4.0, DJP is holding downtime on Saturday, July 20 2024, 09.00 to 19.00 WIB. After the downtime ends, Taxable Entrepreneurs (PKP) are asked to update the application on efaktur.pajak.go.id page. The e-Invoice Desktop application version 4.0 is expected to start being able to be used since the last downtime notification.

DJP urges PKP to stop uploading data on invoices, returns and other documents until the downtime ends. Meanwhile, when e-Invoice Desktop version 4.0 was released, PKP could no longer use e-Invoice Desktop version 3.2. Thus, e-Invoice Desktop version 3.2 can only be used until July 20 2024.

Steps to Update e-Invoice 4.0

After the patch file has been downloaded, please extract the file by right clicking then selecting Extract to [Folder name of the downloaded patch file].

If the file is successfully extracted, an extracted folder will appear. On the Windows operating system, the extracted folder will contain several files in exe, config, chm, txt and other formats.

To update to e-Invoice 4.0, please copy the db folder in e-Invoice 3.2 folder into the extracted e-Invoice folder by pasting. Then click the file "EtaxInvoice.exe" in extracted e-Invoice folder. Make sure the laptop/computer is connected to the internet, so that the application can update the database automatically. Wait a few moments until e-Invoice display appears.

Then, select “Local Database” and click the “Connect” button. After that, the LOGIN ETAX INVOICE box will appear, fill in the username and password that you usually use when logging in to previous e-Invoice application.

After successfully logging in, the initial display of the e-Invoice application will appear with a description of application version 4.0.0.00. Apart from that, information on the 16-digit NPWP and NITKU will be presented. But it still says "null".

To change the "null" information on NPWP and NITKU, select the "Management Upload" menu and select "PKP Profile". Then click the "Refresh/Synchronize PKP Profile from DJP" button to synchronize data with the DJP server. Apart from ensuring a stable internet connection, PKP Individual Taxpayers are advised to match their NIK as NPWP so that the synchronization process runs smoothly.

After the synchronization process is complete, the 16-digit NPWP and NITKU columns will be filled in automatically. Continue by completing other columns that are still not filled in, such as postal code, telephone number, and so on. Then click the “Save” button. This process is the final part of the e-Invoice 4.0 update steps. Using e-Invoice application can be done by clicking the "EtaxInvoice.exe" file in the new application folder as usual.

Things to Pay Attention to Before Updating E-Invoice 4.0

To prevent errors (corrupt e-Invoice database), PKP must backup the database. This is done by compressing the folder into zip/rar format, then naming it db_datebackup. The database that is successfully backed up is then stored in another safe place.

To avoid failure when backing up data with the application, make sure the application is not open. Then, make sure the backup process is complete and the backup file can be opened or generated by the system. Apart from that, PKPs are also advised to copy the database in e-Faktur 3.2 into the e-Faktur 4.0 application folder.
