E-invoicing with QuickBooks Online in the UAE.

QuickBooks Online has no e-invoicing of its own for the UAE. Your invoices reach the provider and the FTA through a connection we run. You keep working in QuickBooks.

How it works

How QuickBooks Online invoices become e-invoices

We connect to your QuickBooks Online company through QuickBooks’ own interface, with your permission. Invoices and credit memos are picked up as you save them, from the date we agree, and sent through the accredited service provider in the UAE format.

The customer’s TRN and electronic address come from the customer record and from the records we complete in your portal. QuickBooks has no field for a Peppol ID, so we keep it in the portal.

A document that cannot be accepted is held, not sent. The portal shows why, for example a missing TRN or a foreign-currency invoice without AED VAT amounts, and it goes once fixed.

Records

The records that must be right

The provider rejects what the format cannot carry. For every VAT-registered customer you need the TRN and the electronic address. For every invoice a due date where an amount is payable. For foreign-currency invoices the VAT totals in AED.

We fill the missing TRNs and electronic addresses in your customer and supplier records in the client portal, so that QuickBooks Online invoices are accepted from the first one.

QuickBooks Online specifics

What to know about QuickBooks Online and e-invoicing

Only new invoices from the agreed start date are sent. Older invoices stay as they are.

Invoices in a currency other than AED need the VAT totals in AED. We agree how your QuickBooks company records them before go-live.

A credit memo must name the invoice it corrects and carry a reason code. QuickBooks does not hold the reason code, so it is set in the portal.

QuickBooks keeps sending the PDF to your customer if you want. The XML through the provider is the legal e-invoice.

Questions

Questions about QuickBooks Online and UAE e-invoicing

Does QuickBooks Online support UAE e-invoicing?

Not on its own. It needs a connection to an accredited service provider. CALX runs that connection for you.

Do I need to change how I raise invoices in QuickBooks?

No. You raise them as now. The connection picks them up.

What about invoices in USD or EUR?

They must carry the VAT totals in AED as well. We set this up with you before the first one goes.

Is QuickBooks good for e-invoicing?

It is fine for it. What matters is the connection to the provider and clean customer records, not the software brand.

What does it cost?

The set-up is free under the current offer, with 1,000 invoices a year included. Above 1,000 the extra cost is minimal.
