Generating CSR for VAT groups and EGS onboarding process time

Onboarding, renewal and revocation
1

I have two questions:

  1. While generating the Certificate Signing Request (CSR), we need to enter an OTP that is valid for only 1 hour. Does this mean that we are required to complete all three steps—CSR generation, invoice compliance check, and acquiring the production CSID—within this 1-hour timeframe?

  2. For VAT groups, how can I submit multiple TIN numbers for the members? Should I structure the TIN numbers as an array, and if so, what is the correct format or structure for sending these values in the request?
    Below is the sample JSON I am using for generating CSR:

"common_name": "POS-3",
        "EGS_serial_number": "1-xyy|2-xyy|3-ed22f1d9-e6a2-1128-9b58-d9a8f11e44ewr88r",
        "organization_identifier": "300056186700003",
        "organization_unit_name": "Riyadh",
        "organization_name": "xyy pvt ltd",
        "country_name": "SA",
        "invoice_type": 1100,
        "CRN_number": "3000551844",
        "location": {
            "city": "Riyadh",
            "city_subdivision": "West",
            "street": "King Fahahd st",
            "plot_identification": "0000",
            "building": "0000",
            "postal_zone": "31952"
        },
        "industry": "Civil"

Dear @sjasvin94,

Thank you for reaching out,

Regarding your questions, please find the answers below:

No, you need to use the OTP within a one-hour timeframe. This means that when you generate the OTP, you need to send the compliance CSID request within the timeframe, but you can complete the onboarding steps outside this timeframe.

In case of VAT group The Organization Identifier should be the Group VAT Registration Number, which is 15 digits long, and The Organization Unit Name that is also a field in the CSR, should contain the 10-digit TIN number of the individual tax group member(s) whose EGS Unit is being onboarded.

For more information regarding the VAT group scenario please refer to VAT Group Onboarding Scenarios in the technical guideline
