ZATCA e-invoicing (FATOORA)
Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia e-invoicing runs in two phases: the generation phase started on 4 December 2021 and the integration phase with the authority's systems on 1 January 2023, rolling out in waves by taxpayer group. TecT connects the invoice created in SAP to that structure.
Supported processes
Standard and simplified invoices
The document is produced in a structured format with the mandatory fields.
Integration with FATOORA
The document is sent to the authority's platform and the response is written onto the record in SAP.
QR code and cryptographic stamp
The mandatory QR code and stamp are added so the document stays verifiable.
Integration path
The document is created inside SAP. Country-specific rules are applied outside SAP, in the TecT BTP Bridge layer; from there the document is sent to the authority's FATOORA platform and the result is written back to the record in SAP.
Clean Core is preserved: no local add-on is installed in the SAP core, and when the regulation changes the update is made in the integration layer. The same structure works from SAP R/3 through to Public Cloud.
