Is a stripped-down, lightweight set of definitions that captures the essence of effective, scalable software engineering in a practice independent way. The focus of the kernel is to define a common basis for the definition of software development practices, one that allows them to be defined and applied independently. The practices can then be mixed and matched to create specific software engineering methods tailored to the specific needs of a specific software engineering community, project, team, or organization (Object Management Group, 2014).

Abstract
The recent tax legislative changes created conditions for the dematerialization of documents, allowing waiving invoice printing, encouraging the adoption of an electronic invoicing and document archiving system. The consequent sustainability and cost reduction measures are allowing the optimization of invoicing and archive procedures, driving companies to invest in the development of technological instruments, incorporating a philosophy of innovation and sustainability. Entrepreneurial entities can take advantage of the increasing use of telework, due to the recent pandemic, by shifting to perform functions remotely. Thus, there is a need to optimize business processes and endeavour technological innovations, taking adequate, quick, and effective decisions. A model can be applied to systematize and simplify the decision-making process related to the Portuguese tax framework and requirements for certified invoicing software or for electronic document archiving. Understanding these requirements can speed up the development or acquisition of a proper invoicing or archiving software.
