We are currently receiving the following warning on invoices generated for one of our Business Units:
[BR-KSA-F-08] – The value provided in Other Seller ID (BT-29) or Other Buyer ID (BT-46) for the scheme ID ‘CRN’ appears to be incorrect. Please recheck the value to avoid non-compliance.
Upon investigation, we found that this Business Unit does not have a Commercial Registration (CR) number. Instead, it operates under a contract number.
We would appreciate your guidance on the following points:
-
Which XML tag should be used to populate the contract number in such cases?
-
Is it acceptable to use the tag cac:ContractDocumentReference/cbc:ID to represent the contract number?
-
If not, is there an alternative scheme ID or field that should be used in place of ‘CRN’ to avoid triggering this warning?
Your support in clarifying this will help us ensure full compliance with ZATCA’s e-invoicing requirements.
Looking forward to your guidance.

@MalikRawabi986077683 the tag Other Seller ID with attribute CRN should contain only a valid Commercial Registration Number issued by Ministry of Commerce. If your client does not have a CR number, you can ask them to provide any other license number like MOMRAH license, MISA License or 700 number and provide the value under corresponding attribute.
Dear @Ankit.K.Tiwari we check with the Business they confirmed they only have a Contract ID
@MalikRawabi986077683 then please use the attribute “OTH” instead of “CRN” as the attribute “CRN” should contain only the Commercial Registration Numbers and no other type of ID.
