In case of a Standard Invoice(B2B), the invoice date should be the Clearing Date from ZATCA or the date of Invoice in client’s ERP?
Like lets say the Invoice is generated on 21st of January. But cleared from ZATCA on 14th of February, which is 15 days before next month. and this invoice is given to Customer on 14th of February only. Then what should be the invoice date in such an invoice?
Can it be 21st of January? or it should be the date on which this becomes an E-Invoice? Which IssueDate to be used?
it should be the Business date of the invoice ,not the clearing date . i.e the date from the client side ,or more specific term (the business date of the invoice)
@Ankit_Tiwari Please confirm this. As per the ZATCA data dictionary, it says “The date when the Invoice was issued as per Article 53 of the VAT Implementing Regulation” is the issue date.". In phase 2, since the B2B invoice can be issued to the customer after clearance from ZATCA the date on the invoice PDF should be the current date or the date on which the invoice is issued to the customer/ZATCA for clearance, right? And the business date on the ERP will act as the actual supply date?
@Mirshad Invoice Issue Date (BT-2) and Invoice issue time (KSA-25) is the date and time when Tax Invoice is generated from ERP. Invoice issue date and time on PDF/A-3 is visualized based on the invoice issue date and time captured in XML.
@Ankit_Tiwari Thanks for clarification. Can you please advise if any action is required for already issued invoices? We have given the current date, which might be off by 2 or 3 days for some invoices.
@Mirshad please discuss with relationship manager by providing number of instances, invoice details etc. Such details should not be posted on a public forum.
