    5. Complete: The final step of completing the process of onboarding, allows users to execute
       the following steps:

       1. Retrieve username to access the ASP’s API: smartBillUserId (Smart Bill Id).

       2. Upload the supplier certificate to enable the ASP in signing invoices.

       3. Generate an authentication/verification Code to allow access to the API methods:

          1. This code will be used as authenticationCode in Sovos, alongside the smartBillUserId and certificatePassword.

Note: The supplier should ONLY generate an Authentication/Verification Code on the ASP’s portal once, and then store it in the Sovos solution for the supplier Company, this allows Sovos to generate a token enabling users to access the API of the Service Provider (ASP) securely.

Note: Authentication/Verification code is only generated once for each Supplier – ASP onboarding relationship. In case the supplier already has an authentication/verification code from previously being registered with the ASP the same code will be used when configuring the supplier Company in the Sovos solution.
