If you are a business operating in Saudi Arabia, you are required to comply with the ZATCA guidelines for generating e-invoices.
In this article, we will see how you can comply with the ZATCA phase-1 guidelines with Refrens.
Step 1: Enabling ZATCA invoices for your business
Important: Before enabling ZATCA for your business, ensure that your previous documents (if any) consist of all the necessary details required to generate e-invoices. After you enable ZATCA for your business, you will not be able to make any changes to your documents once they are saved.
To enable ZATCA phase-1 compliance for your business, go to Business Settings > Accounting Options > Enable ZATCA Invoices. Turn the Toggle switch ON to get started.
Step 2: Set up the number series
Once you turn the toggle ON, you will see the following pop-up form:
As you see above, you will be required to set up a number series for all your Invoices, Credit Notes, and Debit Notes.
Just write the initial document number for each document type. The system will follow the same sequence for your future documents.
For example, the initial invoice number can be IN-0001, the initial debit note number can be DB-001, the initial credit note number can be CR-001, and so on.
Once you have added the same, just click on save changes to get started.
Step 3: Start creating ZATCA-compliant documents!
From now on, a ZATCA-compliant QR code will be attached to the respective accounting documents once you save them (as shown below):
This QR code can be scanned with a ZATCA QR code scanner app for verification purposes.
That’s it! Make your business ZATCA-compliant with ease on Refrens!
