E-Invoicing ERP & Accounting Software Integration Services in UAE

There are the same rules to follow whether you have a global ERP or a local accounting package. The system needs to be able to make, sign, and send a statement that is perfectly organized and meets all technical requirements.

Businesses that have to manage a mixed setting with several tools face this problem even more, so they need a unified compliance approach.

Check to see if you can generate invoices

Before you do any connection, you need to make sure that the core billing engine of your ERP can generate bills with data that meets the UAE’s 50+ required data fields.

Your system needs to be set up to handle important required fields like

• A Tax Registration Number (TRN) that fits the records of legal registration
• Automatic determination of VAT based on UAE tax rules
• Unique sequential billing numbers that meet FTA standards
• All papers should have the right date and currency layout

Besides regular bills, your system needs to be able to make the following document types:

• Credit notes that correctly link to the source bills
• Exemption cards with the right numbers for proof
• Reverse charge bills for business-to-business deals where the tax responsibility has been moved

Sequential ordering often leads to problems with enforcement. Check that your system can make bills in strict order of when they were issued and that it can handle number gaps with the right paperwork.

Madrono AI platform natively supports PINT AE standards, making sure that all required fields from your SAP or Oracle system are correctly mapped and checked before submission.

Check your list of customers and suppliers

Once you know that your system can make legally required bills, the next step is to make sure that your data base is just as strong by doing a full database check.

A big reason why e-invoices are turned down is that the customer data is missing or wrong. The UAE’s e-invoicing system needs full business details using formal company names instead of trade names.

Each record for a customer must have:

• TRN was checked against FTA systems
• Full address information, including postal codes and emirates
• The right type of business (person, company, or government agency)
• Correct account information to make payments

Information about suppliers needs the same level of care. Your seller master data must have full contact and tax information, as well as a verified tax status.

To set up data quality assurance, here’s what you need:

• Regular certification checks to find records that are missing information
• Required field controls to stop future entries from being missing
• Systematic ways to keep customer info up to date on a regular basis

Our E-invoicing software services have automatic, real-time checking tools that check the validity of TRNs right from the FTA port and make sure all the data is there. This cuts down on mistakes at the source a lot.

Do an in-depth gap analysis based on the UAE standards

Once your data is clean, you need to do a technical gap analysis based on UAE standards. This is where your IT team’s real work starts. This is what your expert evaluation should look at:

• Compare the current billing fields to the FTA’s required ones
• The system’s ability to send data in the needed XML forms
• The ability to use a digital signature for Qualified Electronic Signatures
• Making UUIDs for Global Unique Identifiers

E-invoice integration analysis must look at how your regular ways of approving invoices work with the rules for sending invoices electronically. To handle refusal replies and the resubmission process, error handling skills need to be carefully looked at too.

Three main things should be looked at in the e invoice integration preparation review:

• API features that allow straight FTA connection
• Compatibility of third-party connections with approved providers
• Data download features for submissions made by hand

Keep your data safe and make long-term plans

Once you know where there are gaps in compliance, you need to focus on putting in place strong security methods and long-term upkeep plans. When you use e-invoicing, you send very private financial information. The FTA requires strict security measures, such as encryption and controls on who can view what.

Make a plan for ongoing compliance that includes the following:

• Regular checks of how you bill people
• How to stay up to date on changes to FTA regulations
• Clearly defined steps for updating systems without stopping work
• Setting up escalation processes is important for quickly dealing with failed submissions and escaping possible FTA fines.

According to FTA rules, your paperwork processes must include permanent records of all events that happen during the lifecycle of a statement.

We offer ongoing assistance and documents to help you organize your e-invoicing processes, which guarantees your long-term success after the implementation is complete.
