Electronic invoicingThe profile the country imposes, the day it starts, and the text that imposes it.

no profile — no obligation in law

No Tanzanian statute obliges a business to exchange a structured electronic invoice with another business, or to accept one, in the sense Ekwo's vocabulary gives the word — there is no Tanzanian Peppol authority, no published profile and no ISO 6523 scheme a party is addressed by, so `profile`, `party_scheme` and `vat_scheme` are all null and `obligation` is `none`. What Tanzania has instead is a clearance system built into the tax invoice itself: Value Added Tax Act, s. 86(1) requires a registered person to issue, no later than the day the tax becomes payable, a serially numbered true and correct tax invoice generated by an electronic fiscal device (EFD) or, since 2020, its software equivalent, a virtual fiscal device (VFD); the device or the VFD channel reports the transaction to the Tanzania Revenue Authority's Electronic Fiscal Device Management System in real time. This validates an invoice already addressed to a Tanzanian buyer through the seller's own device, and is not a peer-to-peer exchange of a structured document between two businesses in the sense `einvoicing.profile` describes; the gap is recorded in docs/international.md and in this pack's README, and the socle is not patched to fit it.

The line is operational, not functional. Everything that keeps working on its own is open core; what needs credentials, a certificate or a channel somebody keeps running is the hosted edition.
