The ARGENTINA AFIP standard is the Argentine federal tax authority's (AFIP) electronic invoice format. Documents are identified by `<tipoComprobante>` — e.g. type `001` = Factura A. Each invoice includes a CAE (Código de Autorización Electrónica) number and barcode for AFIP validation.

## Classification Rule

DocBits detects ARGENTINA AFIP documents via the regex pattern:

```
<tipoComprobante>001\s*</tipoComprobante>
```

Type `001` corresponds to **Factura A** (invoice to VAT-registered buyers). Other comprobante types are handled by the ARGENTINA FACTURA ELECTRONICA standard.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.docbits.com/administration-and-setup/settings/global-settings/document-types/edi/supported-electronic-documents/argentina-afip.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
