In the business, what holds significance in the smooth operations is the financial accuracy. Errors in data entry, invoicing, reporting, or compliance can cost organizations much and affect brand image.

For businesses in Saudi Arabia, e-invoicing is mandatory as part of the country’s digital transformation initiative.

The e-invoicing process is made compulsory by ZATCA (Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority). ZATCA has introduced the Fatoora Portal, which is an online platform that helps organizations in Saudi Arabia comply with e-invoicing regulations.

ZATCA e-invoicing accuracy is ensured by meeting the regulations introduced by ZATCA, i.e., through generating, storing, and reporting in a compliant manner.

E-invoicing software helps organizations generate, manage, and report e-invoices in a compliant manner as per ZATCA. The e-invoicing solution must be integrated with existing financial or operational ERP systems, which allows for synchronization of invoicing.
