The files are unsigned: you sign them with your e.firma when you send them on the SAT portal.

Why: the journal entries carry the UUID of the stamped invoices and payments, because Nori links each CFDI to its entry when stamping and when posting.

Before the first trial balance

• Check that all your accounts have a SAT grouping code in the chart. If any is missing, the validation tells you which.
• Check that the company's RFC is right in the company data.
• For month 13's trial balance, first close the fiscal year in period 13.

If something doesn't add up

• "… generated, but it has errors": the file was generated but didn't pass validation. Open the detail in Generated files, fix and generate again.
• "Accounts without a SAT grouping code": set it in the chart of accounts.
• "The order number has three letters, seven digits, a slash and two digits": check the format, for example ABC1234567/12.
• You don't see the screen: your company doesn't have the Mexican localization, accounting is off or your role lacks Generate and download the SAT files (electronic accounting and DIOT).
