Organization with multiple Vat numbers Regitration

just in case if i have a client that has 3 different vat numbers for organizations
do the organizations will register seprately or is there any way to handle this? Like how can i handle this situation can i register 3 organizations under one account?

3 different CRN numbers under one vat number not three vat numbers right ?

No i dont know What Actually is CRN
but one point is very clear and it is that
I have three different VAT numbers .

yes i have confirmed it from client he is saying that
he has 3 legal entities with different CRNS and have one VAT

yes you picked the point right!

Actually i have a client and he is saying that
he has
3 Legal Entities —mean 3 difference CRN #
No different VAT #
its not group of companies

every VAT no -----> 1 CCSID
supplier information when you send thru XML … it will be differ as CRN informations ( 3 CR)

Can you please Ellaborate it .Actually i am new in this Field i dont know too much about that
Will be gratefull if you will help me

Can a company have 3 Differenet CRNS but just One VAT number ?
as far i know one company has seprate unique CRN and Unique VAT number
then how ??
and the client is also saying it is not group of comapnies!!

  1. you will Request for 1 Certificate from Zatca … config. file…include the VAT Number
  2. when you create XML for an invoice … you have to check …this invoice belong to which POS (CRN) …
  3. if The CRN … is Main CRN … you will use in your xml “CRN” and Main CRN no
    But if the CRN is sub-CRN … you will use in your xml “OTH” and and sub-CRN no

and in ant case you will include the vat no included in your Config file

Main CRN and Sub CRN …
client is saying he has 3 Different CRNS for His 3 companies but have one single VAT number ok
so i created a CSR with that vat ok then GOT the CSID ok
then i will have to post that invoice to zatca which is in XML

so you meant to say i need to add The CRN number in the XML
so it will be the main CRN i think because i dont have any sub-CRN

you say …3 Different CRNS
these 3 …one will be main (you have to look for VAT CERTIFICATE …
this will mention Main CR no …
and down will find the sub-CR … related to the MAIN one

I have the same scenario need some clarification:

  1. Background: My client has a single VAT registration number, but multiple CRN numbers for different branches. I created a common PCSID using the VAT number, without including any CRN in the config file. During the onboarding process, I submit all invoice types to the compliance/invoices API to get the PCSID. After getting the PCSID, I use it to sign all invoices. For each branch, I change the CRN in the XML (e.g., <cbc:ID schemeID="CRN">3111111114</cbc:ID>) and adjust the <cac:PostalAddress> based on the branch.

Questions:

  1. Do I need to include any CRN information in the CSR config file? If yes, how should I include it?
  2. Should all CRNs be mentioned in the XML used during the onboarding process (i.e., invoices submitted to the compliance/invoices API to get the PCSID)?
  3. After getting the PCSID, is my approach to including the CRN in each invoice sent to the reporting/clearance API correct?
  4. Is it correct to change the <cac:PostalAddress> details for each branch based on the CRN?
  5. Each branch has its own short address (e.g., RRRD2929). Which short address should I provide in the CSR config file?
  6. Are there any additional steps I need to implement in this scenario?

can you please clarify my doubts also

Brother Can you please Tell me that
if i have two organizations with different VAT numbers then Do i need to onboard them Seprately?

  1. No need
  2. No need
  3. for Main CR … use “CRN” but for sub-CR … use “OTH”
    you have to include just 1 CR no in your invoice ( main one Or sub one) as per invoice issued pos (as you mentioned)
  4. Yes
  5. only main CR in your config file
  6. nothing i think

Can the CRN of two comapnies or group of companies be same in any case ?

@Embro
Thanks for the explanation,
Let me ask one more thing, in case each Branch uses separate Accounting Application, can I register separate Device for each branch?
With the same VAT Number and with their respective CRN and postal address.

Thank you Brother.
Can you make a clarification on the following its from zatca official documentation.

It says that each individual tax group member should be onboarded as a separate device. In my scenario only one onboarding is done. This makes some confusions.
