Onboarding before the enforcement date

Dears ,

Hope this finds you well .

Our company belongs to wave 11 , which should start sending the real data on 01-11-2024 .

My questoin is , we are doing testing on simulation enviroment for more than a month now and everything seems to be perfect .

is it possible to do the onboarding before the enforcement date ? so we can be on the safe side if anything goes worng .

Please advice .

Dear @Hadi , yes you can complete onboarding anytime before the last date of enforcement period. In fact the main purpose of allowing 3 months period is for taxpayers to onboard all their devices gradually in staggered manner. Once you onboard a device on production, all the invoices generated from that device must be sent for Reporting or Clearance. Please make sure there is no testing done on production environment.

Dear @Ankit_Tiwari ,

Many thanks for your reply and information . couldn’t do any of this without your help .

one last question :

Now we are doing very nice on the simulation enviroment , our documents submissions are getting cleared with no warning , this is the result we get always :

{"validationResults":{"infoMessages":[{"type":"INFO","code":"XSD_ZATCA_VALID","category":"XSD validation","message":"Complied with UBL 2.1 standards in line with ZATCA specifications","status":"PASS"}],"warningMessages":[],"errorMessages":[],"status":"PASS"},"clearanceStatus":"CLEARED","clearedInvoice":}

with the cleared invoice encoded of course .

Next we extarct the QR code from the cleared invoice and print it into the document we usually print . also we have the xml files saved in case if a customer asked us to share .

What else should we do ? is the QR code extracted from ZATCA response is enough ? anything else we should consider before moving to production enviroment ?

Thanks .

@Hadi , yes extracting QR code and visualizing it on human readable form is sufficient. Regarding sharing of XML with B2B customer, please note this is a mandatory requirement in Phase 2 to share B2B Cleared invoice electronically either as XML or PDF/A-3 (with embedded XML).
