ZATCA & E-Invoicing Compliance

This guide explains how Xfatora supports electronic invoicing compliance in regulated contexts—especially Saudi Arabia (ZATCA) and multi-tenant/global e-invoicing processing flows.

What this covers

  • When and where ZATCA QR should appear on invoices
  • Required organizational details (seller name, VAT number, timestamps, totals)
  • How to verify that compliance is enabled for the correct customers
  • Operational best practices (testing, rollout, audit readiness)

Saudi Arabia: ZATCA QR on invoices

ZATCA QR is typically required for compliant invoice representations. In Xfatora, the QR is generated from key invoice fields (seller, VAT, timestamp, totals) and can be rendered in invoice HTML/PDF output.

Recommended rollout:

  1. Configure seller/legal identity details once
  2. Enable ZATCA for the correct scope (all invoices or KSA-only customers)
  3. Run a test invoice and confirm QR appears
  4. Roll out to production and add an audit checklist

Global / multi-tenant e-invoicing processing

For multi-tenant deployments and regulated markets, e-invoicing processing is often applied immediately after invoice creation.
Recommended rollout:

  • Stage the configuration in a test tenant
  • Run test invoices and verify the processing pipeline
  • Roll out tenant-by-tenant with monitoring

Operational controls

  • Keep a checklist per tenant: enable flags, seller identity, VAT number, test invoice output
  • Define a “compliance owner” role responsible for settings changes
  • Capture evidence: PDFs, invoice IDs, timestamps for audit requirements

FAQ

### Is this only for Saudi Arabia?
No. Saudi ZATCA is one implementation. The broader e-invoicing processing approach can support other compliance requirements depending on your enabled modules and configuration.

### How do we validate the invoice output?
Generate a test invoice and verify:

  • QR presence (where required)
  • Seller/VAT identity correctness
  • Timestamps and totals match the invoice record

### Do customers outside KSA get the QR?
You can scope compliance behavior. Many teams use “KSA-only” rules so non-KSA customers are unaffected.
