What are the onboarding steps with an e-invoicing provider in the UAE?

The onboarding process starts with ensuring that the business's registration information is accurate and ready for e-invoicing. The business then selects an Accredited Service Provider, completes the required onboarding and commercial process, and connects its ERP, accounting, billing, or other invoice-generation system.

The next stage is data mapping. Existing invoice fields need to be mapped to the UAE's structured e-invoicing requirements and PINT-AE. Businesses should then test invoice generation, validation, exchange, reporting, and relevant exception scenarios before moving into production.

With Complyance, the implementation workflow includes platform onboarding, field mapping, environment setup, integration, testing, and production go-live. Complyance also provides SDKs for technologies including Java, Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, Go, .NET, and TypeScript.
