Key points:
• Uses a Peppol-based 5-corner exchange model via accredited service providers (ASP).
E-invoices must be structured XML or JSON using PINT AE (UAE/Peppol standard).
• Real-time submission to the FTA is required.
Mandatory fields include TRNs, VAT breakdowns, item lines, etc..
• Invoices must be electronically archived in UAE for legal retention periods (typically ≥5 years)
To integrate your ERP system with UAE e-invoicing, you need to ensure the system can support the following
Your ERP must either:
• Generate e-invoice data in PINT AE XML/JSON directly or
Export invoice data that can be transformed into compliant format by ASP
Secure Connectivity & APIs
• Integration generally happens via an FTA-accredited ASP
ASP connects between your system and the FTA’s e-invoicing endpoint.
This can be done via secure API that your ERP pushes data to.
• ASP validates, formats to PINT AE, transmits, and handles status/acknowledgments.
Error & Exception Management
Build logic to handle rejections or required corrections:
• Validate mandatory fields before sending
• Capture FTA/ASP error responses
• Retry or correct via workflow automation.
Implementation Steps
Here’s a typical technical onboarding process for ERP integration:
• Review your ERP’s current ability to output structured invoice data (XML/JSON).
• Identify gaps in required fields, formats, or integration endpoints.
• Select an ASP, Only FTA-accredited service providers can submit invoices.
Data Mapping & Middleware
• Map ERP invoice fields to PINT AE schema.
• Configure API for automated data transfer to ASP.
Connect & Test with ASP
Use sandbox/test environments to:
• Simulate invoice transmissions
• Validate mappings
• Fix errors before production.
Go-Live & Monitoring
• Enable real-time invoice transmission.
• Monitor statuses, store acknowledgments, handle exceptions.
Archiving & Records
Ensure invoices and metadata are archived, searchable, and retrievable for audits.
