CFDI Carta Porte 3.x in Mexico: when it actually applies
2026-04-05 · 8 min · Sergei Filatov
SAT keeps tightening Carta Porte. Who must issue it, who can skip it, what the most common rejections are — and how to wire it into Odoo without breaking your invoicing flow.
Who needs Carta Porte
Anyone moving goods across Mexican territory by federal road must issue Carta Porte alongside the CFDI. There are exemptions — and a lot of confusion about who falls under them.
The 3 most common rejections
- Wrong RFC for the carrier
- Mismatched kilometraje between Carta Porte and the actual route
- Missing or invalid autotransporte codes
Wiring it into Odoo
The OCA module
l10n_mx_edi_carta_porte
covers the basics, but you'll likely need custom logic for: multi-leg routes, import-export combinations, and reusable vehicle/operator master data.
