Generate e-Invoice Online Using TallyPrime (KSA e-Invoice Integration Phase)

This topic contains the entire process of generating e-Invoices in TallyPrime along with the setup required for the same. You will also get to know how to use e-Invoicing reports in TallyPrime.

If your company or organisation is in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), then you must already be generating e-Invoices using TallyPrime and archiving them, as per the regulations by Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) for e-Invoice Generation Phase 1. According to the latest communication from ZATCA, it is mandatory to integrate your e-Invoicing solution provider such as TallyPrime with the Fatoora portal or the e-Invoice System, so that you start generating e-Invoices online. The e-Invoice Integration Phase became effective from the 1st of January, 2023.

TallyPrime takes care of all your e-Invoicing requirements. All you need to do is register on the e-Invoice System or Fatoora portal and authenticate your organisation. With an active Tally license, valid TSS, active VAT registration and VAT no., you have all the necessary entities to create e-Invoice Login Credentials. You just have to fill up a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) form and generate an OTP on the e-Invoice System, and generate the e-Invoice Login Credentials. Thereafter, you can set up TallyPrime with all the e-Invoicing requirements such as Commercial Registration Number (CRN), Momrah License (MOM), MHRSD License, and others.

That’s it! You are all set to start creating e-Invoices for all the vouchers applicable for e-Invoicing. 

This topic takes you through the entire procedure of e-Invoicing right from setting up TallyPrime, including all the information necessary to have in your Company for e-Invoice integration. You will also understand the information you need to enter under F11 (Company Features) along with the process of creating the e-Invoice Login Credentials. Furthermore, you will know the process of updating voucher types for seamless e-Invoicing. 

Additionally, you will gain knowledge about the entire workflow of online e-Invoice generation or e-Invoice Integration Phase for a single e-Invoice and multiple e-Invoices, as needed. 

What’s more, TallyPrime provides you with an e-Invoice report to gain information about the e-Invoice status of all the vouchers, so that you can take the necessary actions to generation e-Invoices.

TallyPrime Edit Log to track modifications in data for e-Invoicing

As per the guidelines by ZATCA, the vouchers for which e-Invoices are generated cannot be deleted or modified, and you cannot cancel them either. Modifications or changes need to be done only through the process of Credit/Debit note.

Tally KSA e-Invoice add-on has been designed to avoid accidental modifications or deletions of e-invoice generated transactions from the application. However, there may be several scenarios or ways in which your data can go through undesired modifications. If you are using TallyPrime Edit Log, then it will highlight the fact that there was a possible attempt of data tampering, if any such attempt has been done under any scenario. Detection of data tampering is guaranteed if you are using TallyPrime Edit Log.

Using TallyPrime Edit Log with Tally KSA e-Invoice add-on enables you to enforce a process for detection in case of any deviation. TallyPrime Edit Log is recommended as you can follow the process.

Set Up for e-Invoice Integration Phase

Setting up TallyPrime Edit Log for e-Invoice Integration Phase involves three major steps – specifying the necessary details in the Company, generating e-Invoice Login Credentials, and then specifying the e-Invoicing details under F11 (Company Features), as you enable e-Invoice Integration. 

In this section:

Specify necessary information in Company

To start e-Invoicing for a Company, you will need to ensure that the information such as telephone number, mobile number, and e-mail ID is specified in the Company.

You can specify the information at the time of either Company creation or alteration.

  2. Specify Telephone, Mobile, and E-mail.
    These details are necessary to generate or renew e-Invoice Login Credentials for your Company.

Generate e-Invoice Login Credentials

Once you enable e-Invoice Integration Phase under F11 (Company Features), you can generate e-Invoice Login Credentials for e-Invoice integration.

Before you go on to generate e-Invoice Login Credentials for your Company, you need to have your e-Invoice System or Fatoora portal credentials ready. This is because you will need to generate an OTP on the Fatoora portal to generate e-Invoice Login Credentials in TallyPrime.

  1. Press F11 (Company Features) > set Enable Value Added Tax (VAT) to Yes and press Enter.
    The VAT Details screen appears.
  2. Specify the details related to VAT registration.
    1. VRN Type: Company Registration or Headquarter Registration, based on the registration of your Company.
    2. VAT No.: VAT registration number of your Company.

Once e-Invoice Login Credentials are generated, you receive an e-mail on your registered e-mail ID along with an e-Invoice Certificate, which also gets stored in your Company folder.

It is important to note that for a particular set of VAT No. and Mailing Name of the Company, you can generate a unique set of e-Invoice Login Credentials. If you try to generate e-Invoice Login Credentials against a VAT No. in a different Company, then you will get an error that e-Invoice Login Credentials already exist for the VAT No.

If the Company’s VAT No. and Mailing Name are same as the one in which you had generated e-Invoice Login Credentials, then you can restore e-Invoice Login Credentials in the Company. 

To know how to do it, refer to the Restore e-Invoicing Details section in the Generate e-Invoice Online Using TallyPrime (KSA e-Invoice Integration Phase) topic.

Generate e-Invoices for multiple vouchers through Exchange

Generating e-Invoices for multiple vouchers has its benefits. You may be creating numerous vouchers in a day and might want to generate e-Invoice for them in just one shot. In a different scenario, a data entry operator may be creating vouchers and then you may want to verify the vouchers to check if they have the right information for e-Invoice generation under e-Invoice Integration Phase. You can generate e-Invoices for multiple vouchers. In case you face difficulties such as Internet issues power cut, and so on, while generating e-Invoice during voucher creation, you can easily generate e-Invoices for such vouchers along with those ready for e-Invoice generation.

In TallyPrime, you can generate multiple e-Invoices in one shot, after which you get a clear summary of the vouchers for which e-Invoices are generated and those rejected by the e-Invoice System.

  1. Press Alt+Z (Exchange) > Send for e-Invoicing and press Enter.
    e-Invoice Generation for Multiple Vouchers in TallyPrime
    The Send for e-Invoicing screen appears with the vouchers in the Ready for Generation section.
    If there are vouchers in the Uncertain Transactions (Corrections Needed) section and those required to be reuploaded, then those will appear in the Send for e-Invoicing screen, too.
  2. Press Spacebar to select the vouchers that you want to send for e-Invoicing. 
  3. Press S (Send).
    The Exchange Summary appears with vouchers for which e-Invoice is generated. Moreover, if there are some vouchers rejected by the e-Invoice System due to some incorrect information or other such reasons, then you will know the count of those vouchers too:
    Exchange Summary After Bulk e-Invoice Generation in TallyPrime

To view the e-Invoice details of any of the vouchers for which e-Invoice is generated, you can either drill down from the e-Invoice Generated section of the e-Invoice Overview report, or you can open the voucher in the display mode from any ledger vouchers report. 

To know how to view e-Invoice details, refer to the View e-Invoice Details section.

Know Status of Vouchers with e-Invoice Overview Report

e-Invoice report in TallyPrime helps you keep abreast of the status of vouchers. You might have generated e-Invoices for a lot of vouchers during voucher creation or through Exchange. However, e-Invoices might have got generated for some of the vouchers, while the rest of the vouchers may be in the process of e-Invoice generation. It may also happen that some of the vouchers lack the information necessary for e-Invoice generation under e-Invoice Integration Phase, and some vouchers were rejected by the e-Invoice System. 

TallyPrime has an e-Invoice Overview report, which is easy to navigate and delightful to use, as you can just open the report and know the status of the vouchers. Additionally, you will know the number of vouchers ready for e-Invoice generation and that for which you need to take actions or make corrections to get them ready for e-Invoice generation.

The report helps you plan your e-Invoicing activities.

To view the e-Invoice Overview report:

  • Press Alt+G (Go To) > type or select e-Invoice Overview and press Enter.
    Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Display More Reports > VAT Reports > e-Invoice > e-Invoice Overview and press Enter.
    By default, the report opens for a period of the last 24 hours, based on the last voucher date.
    e-Invoice Overview in TallyPrime

In this section:

Uncertain Transactions (Corrections Needed)

The vouchers in which the information mandatory for e-Invoice generation is either missing or incorrect can be found in the Uncertain Transactions (Corrections needed) section. This section helps you identify such vouchers, so that you can correct them and go on to generate e-Invoices. For instance, you might have missed to specify the National ID of your party or the address in Arabic. 

In such cases, you can just drill down from the section, view the nature of correction required, and take actions to resolve.

For example, you might have given a 4-digit PO Box in a party ledger, while PO Box must be a 5-digit number. In such a case, the voucher becomes a part of the Uncertain Transactions (Corrections Needed) section.

  1. Drill down from Uncertain Transactions (Corrections Needed).
  2. To view the Error, select any voucher and press Shift+Enter. 
    Alternatively, press Alt+F5 to view the detailed report.
    Uncertain Transactions in e-Invoice Overview in TallyPrime
  3. Select the voucher in which you want to make corrections and press Enter. 
    The voucher or the master that requires the corrections appears.
    In this case, the error is in the voucher.
    Therefore, the Voucher Alteration screen appears.
  4. Make the necessary changes and press Ctrl+A to save.

Once you make the corrections, you can send the vouchers for e-Invoice generation.

Ready for e-Invoice Generation

This section contains the vouchers in which the information mandatory for e-Invoice generation is available. However, you are yet to generate e-Invoices for the same.

To know how to generate e-Invoices for such vouchers, refer to the Generate e-Invoices for multiple vouchers through Exchange section.

Upload for e-Invoice Generation Unsuccessful (Reupload)

This section contains the vouchers that have the necessary information for e-Invoice generation under e-Invoice Integration Phase. However, e-Invoice is yet to be generated on the e-Invoice System. It may take a few minutes to get the final e-Invoicing status of the vouchers.

You cannot edit the vouchers, until you get their final e-Invoicing status. However, you can open the vouchers in the display mode, if needed.

You will need to reupload these vouchers from Exchange. 

To know how to reupload the vouchers, refer to the Generate e-Invoices for multiple vouchers through Exchange section.

Rejected by e-Invoice System

Sometimes, a voucher gets rejected from the e-Invoice System, because of some error or incorrect information. In such cases, you can generate an e-Invoice again. ZATCA requires a log of the rejected e-Invoices to trace the changes you made in the voucher. Therefore, we recommend you to use TallyPrime Edit Log.

However, if Edit Log is not enabled, then you will need to create a Credit Note against the rejected Sales Invoice to nullify the effect in the books of accounts.

Thereafter, you can create a new Sales Invoice to send it to the e-Invoice System for e-Invoicing. 

To know how to send a Sales Invoice for e-Invoicing, refer to the Generate e-Invoice for single Sales invoice section.

e-Invoice Generated

This section contains the vouchers for which e-Invoices are already generated. You can drill down from the section and view the vouchers with the e-Invoice details. 

To know how to view e-Invoice details, refer to the View e-Invoice Details section.

e-Invoice Archives

As per the regulations by ZATCA, you need to have an archive of all your e-Invoices generated in the last five, seven, or ten years, as applicable to your organisation. You need to maintain archives of the e-Invoices in a specific folder for quick reference during audit and other purposes. TallyPrime provides you with a report named e-Invoice Archives. You can configure the folder path in which you want to store all the e-Invoices for them to be accessible to the authority. When you generate an e-Invoice under e-Invoice Integration Phase, a PDF/A3 file (with embedded XML) gets saved in the folder.

However, if you want another copy of an e-Invoice, you can easily get it through the e-Invoice Archives report. The report contains all the information about the e-Invoices generated by you. Moreover, you have the facility to archive e-Invoices in a single click, which makes it easier for you to store all the e-Invoices in the folder path selected by you.  

First of all, you need to specify the folder in which you want to archive all the e-Invoices.

  1. Press F11 (Company Features) > set Enable Value Added Tax (VAT) to Yes and press Enter.
  2. Location of e-Invoice Archives: Specify Path or Select from Drive.

Once you specify the folder path, you can start archiving your e-Invoices.

  1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > type or select e-Invoice Archives and press Enter.
    Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Display More Reports > VAT Reports > e-Invoice > e-Invoice Archives and press Enter.
  2. Press Alt+R (Pending for Archiving).
    e-Invoice Archives in TallyPrime
  3. Press Spacebar to select one or more e-Invoices and press Alt+A (Archive).

e-Invoice Event Log

e-Invoice Event Log provides you with a bird’s-eye view of the e-Invoicing activities performed on all the vouchers. It helps you in monitoring the activities and identifying tampered e-Invoices in your Company data.

To view e-Invoice Event Log:

  • Press Alt+G (Go To) > type or select e-Invoice Event Log and press Enter.
