How to open CFDI file?
The main problem with Comprobante Fiscal Digital Por Internet is that the CFDI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CFDI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CFDI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft Dynamics NAV
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Dynamics NAV application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Dynamics NAV in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CFDI files.
Programs to open CFDI file
Remember to download programs supporting CFDI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Dynamics NAV with CFDI files
If, despite the installed application, the CFDI file does not start in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Dynamics NAV application as the default for handling the CFDI file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Dynamics NAV to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV program with the Comprobante Fiscal Digital Por Internet file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CFDI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CFDI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CFDI file. However, remember that not every infected CFDI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CFDI files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CFDI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CFDI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CFDI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CFDI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CFDI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
