Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext, Dynamics 365 and custom ERP, delivered by one accountable team.
E-invoicing touches billing, purchasing, master data and IT at the same time. We run it as one project with clear owners, a fixed sequence and testing before your deadline.
E-invoicing in the UAE is implemented in five steps: a readiness assessment of invoice data and processes, selection of an Accredited Service Provider (ASP), ERP configuration and connector build, testing with real scenarios, and a controlled go-live. Businesses with AED 50 million or more revenue must appoint an ASP by 30 October 2026; smaller businesses by 31 March 2027. Check the latest Ministry of Finance guidance.
Companies looking for e-invoicing solutions UAE usually ask first which Accredited Service Provider to sign with. That decision matters, but it is one step of five. Before it comes an honest look at your invoice data and processes. After it come ERP changes, testing with real scenarios and a controlled switch-over that does not stop your billing.
The deadlines are the reason to start now. Under Ministerial Decisions No. 243 and 244 of 2025, businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint an ASP by 30 October 2026 and issue e-invoices from 1 January 2027. Businesses below that line must appoint an ASP by 31 March 2027, with the mandate from 1 July 2027. These dates have been amended before, so check the latest Ministry of Finance and FTA guidance as you plan.
Our service covers the full path for companies running Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext, Microsoft Dynamics 365 or a custom ERP. We also work with companies on other systems that plan to move to one of these platforms as part of their e-invoicing preparation. For a primer on the mandate itself, read our UAE e-invoicing guide.
Each item is an outcome your e-invoicing project should produce. Requirements are summarized; confirm specifics with the latest official guidance and your tax advisor.
Your appointment deadline depends on revenue: 30 October 2026 for businesses at or above AED 50 million, and 31 March 2027 for those below. Selection, contracting and onboarding all need to fit before that date.
Every invoice and credit note must carry the data fields the FTA published in February 2026. Your ERP and master data must supply them so the ASP can build a valid PINT AE document.
From the mandate date, suppliers will send you structured e-invoices through their ASPs. Your accounts payable process needs a way to receive and record them, not only to send your own.
E-invoices must match the tax invoices in your ledger and your VAT return. Retention rules for tax records continue to apply to e-invoices and their status records.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Rules change; confirm current FTA, MOHRE and Ministry of Finance guidance with your advisor.
These are the outputs of our e-invoicing solution, handed over to your finance and IT teams.
We keep the order fixed because each step depends on the one before. Skipping the assessment is the most common reason projects slip.
One shared database: every step updates stock, finance and reports in real time.
The amount of work depends more on your data and billing complexity than on the platform. This table shows where effort typically goes.
| Zoho | Odoo | ERPNext | Dynamics 365 | Custom or legacy ERP | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Readiness assessment | Light to moderate | Light to moderate | Light to moderate | Moderate | Moderate to heavy |
| Master data cleanup | Depends on data quality | Depends on data quality | Depends on data quality | Depends on data quality | Often heavy |
| Field and validation changes | Custom fields and validation rules | Fields and constraints in custom module | Custom fields and server scripts | Table extensions in AL | Code changes in your system |
| ASP connection | Vendor feature or API integration | Vendor feature or custom module | Custom app calling ASP API | Extension or middleware | Custom integration or middleware |
| Inbound invoices | Draft bills via integration | Vendor bills via integration | Purchase invoices via integration | Purchase documents via integration | Usually new development |
Vendors are releasing UAE e-invoicing features. We check what your edition offers before building anything custom.
For a single entity with standard billing, the full project often takes 10-16 weeks. Groups, high volumes or legacy systems take longer, which is why starting early matters.
Durations are typical ranges; your plan is agreed after discovery.
Workshops with finance, sales operations and IT, sampling of invoices and credit notes, and a gap report with priorities.
We help you compare ASPs on integration options, inbound handling, support and commercial terms, then support onboarding.
Master data fixes, new fields, validations and the ASP connector are built in parallel where possible.
End-to-end tests cover standard invoices, zero-rated and exempt lines, credit notes, multi-currency and rejection scenarios.
We support your first live billing cycles, monitor rejections and tune validations.

Still have a question? Our consultants are happy to help.
Ask an ExpertWork back from your ASP appointment deadline. If your revenue is AED 50 million or more, that deadline is 30 October 2026, so the assessment should already be under way. Smaller businesses have until 31 March 2027 to appoint an ASP, but testing takes time. Check the latest Ministry of Finance and FTA guidance for any date changes.
No. We are an ERP implementation and consulting firm. We help you select an Accredited Service Provider, then configure your ERP and build the connection to it.
Invoice and credit note types, volumes, entities and TRNs, billing systems, master data quality, inbound supplier invoices and the FTA's required fields. You receive a written gap report with a recommended plan.
In most cases yes. Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext and Dynamics 365 can all be prepared for e-invoicing. If you run an older system that is hard to change, we will tell you, and you can decide whether to adapt it or migrate.
We build a test plan with real examples from your business, run them through the ASP's test environment, record results and fix issues until your finance team signs off.
We plan the inbound side too. Incoming e-invoices arrive from your ASP and are created as draft bills in your ERP, ready for matching and approval.
Tell us how your business runs today and where it gets stuck. We'll recommend the right platform, outline the implementation approach and give you a realistic timeline, with no obligation.
