The Simplified Nominal supply invoice is available starting from SDK version R3.3.3. In the Xml composition it skip the Buyer Details cac:AccountingCustomerParty</cac:AccountingCustomerParty>. Does it imply that the buyer information is no longer required or use a common walkin customer account will work? Example a Cash Customer account.
What is the bests scenario to select this type of invoice?
@jonathanb Buyer details such as name, address and ID are never required on Simplified Invoices.
Only exception to this is in case of special scenarios such as zero rated supply of Private Education and Private Healthcare to Saudi Citizen wherein the Simplified Invoice must contain Buyer Name and National ID or Summary Simplified Invoice in Financial Sector.
The answer is important for me because i completed xml generation based on the Simplified format but now i have to redo it to use the Nominal format which as you said is the correct format because customer detail in never required.
That created confusion. As you said “never required” but Simplified Tax Invoice xml that is available in SDK Samples folder with name Simplified_Invoice.xml does show customer party details and fatoora command actually verify it as PASSED.
Why when already named the format as “Simplified” there was need to have another name for it “Nominal”?
Am i missing some important information regarding the Simplified Invoice which seems to me as useless but acually has importance?
Could you please, if it does not bother you much, answer my question?
Hi ABCD,
A Nominal is a subtype of Simplified Invoice the same as Simplified Tax Invoice with Zero Rated Item. It is identified as InvoiceTypeCode name=0201000 . The difference is, in Nominal Xml composition Customer details are completely exclude from the sample SDK Xml.
I say, you should not be updating your original simplified xml composition as it is not affecting the original simplified design.

Oh Okay,
So, Simplified format is correct with customer detail. I will definately try to get it verified via post request. and then will see what happen. I thought you were official responder. I am developing this for a friend of mine. I hope i will be able to test first API call tomorrow. Thank you Jonathan for your reply. I will try to post results.
True regards,
