UAE e-invoicing is not a PDF or scanned invoice
The UAE Ministry of Finance defines an eInvoice as structured invoice data issued and exchanged electronically between supplier and buyer and reported electronically to the UAE Federal Tax Authority.
QBM prepares the operational and accounting data foundation: invoice fields, VAT codes, customer and supplier records, tax registration details, document controls, reporting checks, and integration-ready workflows.
- Structured invoice preparation for tax invoices and credit notes
- VAT field control, tax codes, tax transaction review, and audit trails
- Customer and supplier master-data cleanup before implementation
- PINT AE readiness and implementation planning
- Provider integration planning based on selected provider and final scope

QBM readiness areas
What to review before ASP implementation
ERP readiness is practical work: clean data, correct VAT setup, controlled invoice fields, reliable reporting, and a clear integration path.
VAT Setup
Check VAT codes, input/output tax, reverse charge handling, returns, and tax transaction reports.
Invoice Controls
Review invoice templates, credit notes, numbering, period controls, approvals, and audit trails.
Integration Scope
Map QBM data and workflows to the selected Accredited Service Provider and final technical requirements.
Verified scope
Implementation support without unsupported certification claims
QBM supports UAE e-invoicing readiness, data preparation, structured invoice workflows, and implementation planning. Government approval, ASP certification, or provider claims are stated only when written confirmation applies.
Does QBM claim FTA, MoF, or ASP certification?
No certification claim is published without formal verification. QBM can support readiness, data preparation, structured invoice workflows, and implementation with the selected provider.
Can QBM support PINT AE readiness?
Yes. QBM can prepare the ERP data, tax fields, invoice structures, and implementation workflows needed for PINT AE readiness, subject to final UAE requirements and project scope.
Is ZATCA the same as UAE e-invoicing?
No. ZATCA is Saudi Arabia's authority and belongs on a separate Saudi e-invoicing page when Saudi support is part of the project scope.
