The short answer

The certificate store in Vacly Administrativo holds the company certificate or each client company’s, warns when it expires and leaves it assigned for signing SEPA, RED and form filings. It is a working archive.

Anyone searching for “company digital certificates expiry” usually has a USB stick in a drawer, an email saying “your certificate is expiring” and a Friday when the 111 will not go out. The work is to know which certificate is alive and which company it belongs to, not to collect copies.

Administrativo is included with the Labour module · advisory firms. 15-day trial. It does not replace the adviser or the advisory firm. Official filing uses the company’s certificate. A human reviews;

What is the company digital certificate store?

It is where each company in the book keeps its certificate, with expiry in view. It is not the certificate on the PC.

  • Store per client company: each record has its own. Without assignment, signing a filing is guessing whose USB it is.
  • Expiry: you see what is running out. The Certificates due to expire report is indicative: it warns, it does not renew the certificate at the FNMT.
  • Assignment: the certificate is tied to the company. The advisory firm does not mix A’s key with B’s filing.
  • Signing SEPA, RED and forms: the certificate is the key. Official sending is closed by whoever is authorised, with a human.
  • Storing the certificate does not make you an official filer.

What is assignment and signing for?

A loose certificate is useless if nobody knows which company it belongs to. Assigning and signing are the same job: the right key on the right filing.

  • Assignment per client company: an advisory book lives or dies here. An SME with one certificate still needs the record, not a file on the desktop.
  • SEPA signing: the certificate goes with the file when the filing asks for it. Preparing the debit is not collecting; signing is not sending without review.
  • RED signing: authorisations and TGSS filings need a live certificate. Without a RED authorisation, the rest does not start.
  • Form signing: the 111 and the 190 are filed with the company’s certificate. A human reviews the draft.
  • The Windows certificate is another screen: the one already on the machine. This store is the book’s, not the desktop’s.

Three pieces: store, expiry and assignment

Some software sells “the certificate in the cloud” as if that were enough. Three facts matter here, not an icon.

Store

The company certificate or each client’s sits in Administrativo. Certifications is another page.

Expiry

You get a warning before the cut-off. The warning does not renew, file or write to the FNMT. If it expires, the filing does not go out.

Assignment

Each client company has its own. Signing one firm’s RED with another’s certificate is the error this screen avoids.

What is this store not (and what should it not sell you)?

Storing the certificate is not filing and not Fiscal.

  • It does not replace the adviser or the advisory firm. The certificate is the company’s; whoever files is whoever is authorised.
  • It is not period form tracking in Fiscal. The 303 and the VAT board live there; the key lives here.
  • It is not the notices inbox or being up to date. Those are sibling pages.
  • It does not file forms or post journals on its own. An agent does not file for you. Official filing uses the company’s certificate and a human.

FAQ

Does the expiry alert renew the certificate?

No. It warns. Renewal is done with the issuer (FNMT or another). If it expires, the filing does not go out.

Can I assign a certificate to each client company?

Yes. That is book assignment. Without a record, you sign blind.

Does this file the 111 or the RED enrolment for me?

No. The certificate signs the filing. A human reviews. Official filing uses the company’s certificate and, if it applies, the advisory firm.

Is this the same as the Windows certificate?

No. Windows is the machine store. This page is the company or book store.

What does it cost and how do we try it?

Included with the Labour module · advisory firms. The trial is 15 days. There is no stand-alone euro price for Administrativo.
