Steps
Confirm your legal basis and authorization: SII's DTE web-service program operates under 'Resolución exenta Nº 45 de 2003,' which 'establece normas y procedimientos de operación respecto de los documentos tributarios electrónicos.'
Complete the Ambiente de Certificación (certification environment) process first, following SII's published Manual de Operación, before sending documents in production.
Authenticate automatically using SII's 'Web Service Autenticación Automática con Certificado Digital' (digital-certificate authentication web service) rather than manual portal login for system-to-system sending.
Send documents using SII's 'Envío Automático de Documentos Tributarios Electrónicos' (automatic DTE submission) web service, and confirm delivery with the paired 'Web Service Consulta Estado de Envío' and 'Web Service Consulta Estado de DTE' status-check services.
Respect SII's stated transmission deadline: 'el emisor del documento tributario electrónico (DTE) tendrá un plazo máximo de 12 horas, contadas desde la entrega real de las especies, para enviar al SII el documento tributario electrónico correspondiente a la entrega efectuada' (the issuer has a maximum 12-hour window, counted from actual delivery of the goods, to send the corresponding DTE to SII).
Known gotchas
The 12-hour transmission window is measured from actual delivery of goods, not from document creation or invoice date — building the deadline check off the wrong timestamp will produce false compliance signals.
SII exposes separate 'Consulta Estado de Envío' (submission-status) and 'Consulta Estado de DTE' (document-status) web services plus an advanced 'Consulta Avanzada Estado de DTE' service — these check different things and are not interchangeable status endpoints.
Certification-environment testing is a documented prerequisite (with its own operation manual and test-set construction instructions) before a taxpayer is authorized to send DTEs in production.
