About this Product
ZATCA Phase 2 (the Integration Phase) requires every Saudi taxpayer to generate invoices in UBL 2.1 XML, apply a cryptographic stamp, embed a TLV signed QR code, and either clear standard B2B invoices in real time or report simplified B2C invoices within 24 hours through ZATCA's FATOORA platform. This is a build-to-order AL extension that wires that entire obligation directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central — no manual portal uploads, no spreadsheet bridges.
ECOSIRE builds the extension as a per-tenant (private) AL app installed on your specific BC environment — Online or on-prem. We hook the posting flow with event subscribers on Sales Invoice and Sales Cr. Memo posting, serialize each document to ZATCA-conformant UBL 2.1 XML, sign it with your CSID certificate, generate the TLV QR, and call the FATOORA clearance/reporting API. Cleared invoices come back with the ZATCA stamp and cryptographic UUID, which we persist against the posted document and surface on the printed PDF/A-3.
Because this is built to order, we tailor it to your chart of accounts, VAT posting setup, document numbering, and Arabic/English layout rather than forcing a generic template. The work includes CSID onboarding (compliance CSID then production CSID), device/EGS registration, sandbox conformance testing against ZATCA's Simulation environment, and go-live cutover. Permission sets, a job queue entry for retry/reporting of simplified invoices, and a clearance status FactBox are part of the delivery. After go-live, ECOSIRE owns the extension lifecycle — recompiling and re-deploying when ZATCA updates the data dictionary or when Microsoft ships a breaking BC release.

Frequently Asked Questions about ZATCA Phase 2 E-Invoicing (KSA) for Business Central
How long does delivery take, since this is built to order?
Typical delivery is one working week from kickoff. That covers requirements and VAT-setup discovery, building the AL extension, CSID/compliance onboarding, conformance testing in ZATCA's Simulation environment, then production CSID activation and go-live. The lead time depends mainly on how quickly your ZATCA portal access, certificates and BC environment access are provided. This is not an instant AppSource download — ECOSIRE builds, installs and validates it on your specific tenant.
What happens to support and updates after go-live?
ECOSIRE owns the extension lifecycle. When ZATCA revises the data dictionary, XSD or API behaviour, or when Microsoft ships a Business Central release that affects the posting flow, we recompile, retest in Simulation and redeploy the per-tenant app. Support covers clearance/reporting failures, FATOORA error-code triage, certificate renewal and CSID re-onboarding. We agree the support scope and response times in the engagement so you are never left non-compliant after a regulatory change.
Is this for Business Central Online or on-premises?
Both. The extension is authored in AL and deployed as a per-tenant (private) app, so it works on BC Online (SaaS) and on-prem/private-hosted environments. Certificate storage and outbound connectivity to the FATOORA endpoints are configured to suit your deployment model.
Does it handle both standard (B2B) and simplified (B2C) invoices?
Yes. Standard tax invoices are sent to ZATCA's Clearance API in real time and are only valid once cleared and stamped. Simplified invoices are reported to the Reporting API within the 24-hour window — the Job Queue batches and retries these so a transient outage never makes you miss the deadline. Both paths generate the UBL 2.1 XML, cryptographic stamp and signed QR.
Will it fit our existing chart of accounts, VAT setup and invoice layout?
Yes — that is the point of building to order. We map the integration to your VAT posting setup, number series, customer/seller identification and your existing Arabic/English invoice layout rather than forcing a generic template. The cleared XML, QR and ZATCA stamp are embedded into your PDF/A-3 output so the printed invoice stays familiar to your customers and auditors.
