Manufacturing ERP for Mexico
Manufacturing in Mexico is a major economic driver, with the country serving as a key production hub for automotive, aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods industries, particularly in the maquiladora sector along the US border. The Servicio de Administracion Tributaria (SAT) administers the tax system, requiring all invoices to be issued as Comprobantes Fiscales Digitales por Internet (CFDI) with the mandatory stamp (timbre fiscal digital) from an authorized certification provider (PAC). CFDI version 4.0 is the current standard, requiring detailed information including the tax regime of both buyer and seller, postal codes, and the specific tax treatment of each line item.

VAT (IVA) at 16% applies to most manufacturing transactions, with a zero rate for food products and medicines. The IEPS (Impuesto Especial sobre Produccion y Servicios) applies to specific product categories including sugary beverages, tobacco, and fuels, adding an additional tax obligation for manufacturers in these sectors. The IMMEX (Industria Manufacturera, Maquiladora y de Servicios de Exportacion) program allows temporary importation of raw materials and components for manufacturing and export without paying import duties and IVA, provided the finished goods are exported within the program timeframes.
T-MEC (CUSMA/USMCA) rules of origin are critical for Mexican manufacturers exporting to the United States and Canada. The automotive sector has specific regional value content requirements and labor value content provisions that require tracking of wages paid to workers earning above a specified threshold. Mexican labor reform has introduced significant changes including the requirement for independent union elections, profit-sharing (PTU) distribution to workers, and outsourcing restrictions under the 2021 subcontracting reform that prohibits the supply of personnel through third-party staffing companies for core business activities.
Yukti provides Mexican manufacturers with CFDI 4.0 compliant electronic invoicing through PAC integration, with automatic timbrado for every invoice, credit note, and payment complement. The IMMEX module tracks temporary imports, transformation processes, and export timelines to maintain program compliance and avoid duty obligations. IVA at 16% and IEPS calculations are applied automatically based on product classification. T-MEC origin management calculates regional value content and generates the required certification for preferential treatment. The payroll module handles the complex Mexican labor requirements including ISR withholding, IMSS social security contributions, INFONAVIT housing fund payments, PTU profit sharing calculations, and the outsourcing restrictions. Financial reporting follows NIF (Normas de Informacion Financiera) Mexican accounting standards.
