Help Needed — “Invalid encoded base64 format” when submitting invoice to Compliance API

General
1

Hello everyone,

I’m new to ZATCA e-invoicing and currently working in the sandbox environment.
I have successfully generated my binarySecurityToken and secret using the following endpoint:
https://gw-fatoora.zatca.gov.sa/e-invoicing/core/compliance
Now I’m trying to send my test invoice to:
https://gw-fatoora.zatca.gov.sa/e-invoicing/core/compliance/invoices
However, I’m receiving the following response:
{
“validationResults”: {
“infoMessages”: ,
“warningMessages”: ,
“errorMessages”: [
{
“type”: “ERROR”,
“code”: “Invalid-Invoice”,
“category”: “Invoice-Base64-Decoder-Error”,
“message”: “Invalid encoded base 64 format”,
“status”: “ERROR”
}
],
“status”: “ERROR”
},
“reportingStatus”: “NOT_REPORTED”,
“clearanceStatus”: null,
“qrSellertStatus”: null,
“qrBuyertStatus”: null
}

I double-checked my XML invoice — when I decode the Base64 string using https://www.base64decode.org/, it decodes correctly without any errors.
So, I’m not sure why ZATCA’s API reports it as an invalid Base64 format.

Could someone please guide me on what I might be doing wrong?
I’ve attached my Base64-encoded XML invoice for reference.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Dear @murtaza974

Thanks for following up.

Kindly be informed that using the compliance/invoices API is only to complete the compliance checks, and you can not use it to test your actual invoices before being sent to production. However, you can use the validation functionality using ZATCA SDK as below:

  1. For Java version: use the following command: fatoora -validate -invoice “your invoice.xml“
  2. For .Net version: use the following command: fatooranet validate -invoice “your invoice.xml”.

Additionally, you can use the Web-Based validator on this link: Zatca

To understand the main ZATCA SDK functionality, our recommendation is to download ZATCA SDK, then navigate to the following folder path: zatca-einvoicing-sdk-Java-238-R3.4.5\Readme

Thanks,
Ibrahem Daoud.

  • CSID_SIGNATURE_PLACEHOLDER
  • CSID_CERTIFICATE_PLACEHOLDER
