Other Buyer id field related query

XML and business rules

Dear ZATCA team

We are looking to have some clarity for the “Other Buyer ID” field.

As per the latest data dictionary, this field should work as a conditional field where it has mentioned that Other Buyer ID, is required only if the buyer is not VAT registered.

We have developed our system on the same concept. Additionally, ZATCA is validating the e-invoice successfully without any error or warning if we mention the VAT number and not mention the other buyer ID.

However, one of our clients has received a query from the ZATCA authority saying that the Other Buyer ID field is a mandatory field.

Hence, some clarity of this field from your end would be appreciated. @Ankit_Tiwari

Thank you in advance !!

Dear @dev.cksatc, B2B invoices must contain at least one of these 2 IDs:
(i) Buyer’s VAT Number (BT-48) or
(ii) Other Buyer ID (BT-46).

If buyer is VAT Registered then BT-48 is priority. If buyer is not VAT Registered, then Other Buyer ID (BT-46) must be provided with any available ID.
