About this Product

Egypt's mandatory ETA e-invoicing and e-receipt regime requires every taxable sale to be transmitted to the Egyptian Tax Authority in a precise JSON document structure, cryptographically signed, and tracked by the UUID the ETA returns. Business Central core has no native connector for this — so most teams resort to fragile spreadsheet exports or a separate portal that double-keys every invoice.

This is a build-to-order AL extension that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-premises). It is delivered as a per-tenant extension, not an instant AppSource download — we scope it to your chart of accounts, tax setup, document numbering and item catalog, then deploy it into your tenant and support it as the ETA specification evolves.

Under the hood it adds page and table extensions to Posted Sales Invoices, Sales Credit Memos and POS receipts, an event-subscriber pipeline that builds the ETA document on posting, a digital-signature integration for the required CAdES/USB-token or HSM signing step, and a job queue entry that submits to the ETA REST API and polls for clearance status. Every document carries its ETA UUID, submission state (Submitted / Valid / Invalid / Rejected) and error detail on a dedicated FactBox so your finance team never leaves Business Central.

Item codes are mapped to EGS or GS1 codes through a maintainable mapping table, tax and unit-of-measure values are translated to ETA code tables, and Arabic counterparty and line descriptions are carried through correctly. Permission sets, the secured signing credential and the API client registration are all configured for you. The result is one-click, in-system ETA compliance with a clear audit trail — built for how your business actually invoices.

Digital-signature integration wired to your CAdES token / HSM / signing provider

Populated EGS/GS1 item-code mapping and ETA code-table translations for your catalog

Permission sets and security-credential setup for signing and submission roles

Job queue configuration for automated submission and status polling

Admin and end-user documentation plus a handover walkthrough with your finance team

Post-go-live support and updates as the ETA specification changes (per support agreement)

Who this is for

Finance Manager at an Egyptian VAT-registered company

Needs every sales invoice and credit memo cleared by the ETA without leaving Business Central, with a visible UUID and clearance status to prove compliance during audits and reconcile against the ETA portal.

Business Central Administrator / IT lead

Wants ETA compliance delivered as a maintainable per-tenant extension with proper permission sets, job queue automation and a clean upgrade path — not bolt-on scripts or a parallel portal that needs double data entry.

Retailer or POS operator under the e-receipt mandate

Issues high volumes of B2C receipts that must be transmitted to the ETA as e-receipts, and needs automated, signed submission with EGS/GS1-mapped items and Arabic descriptions running quietly in the background.

Frequently Asked Questions about Egypt ETA E-Invoicing Compliance

How long does delivery take, and is this an AppSource download?

This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource install. After a short scoping call we typically build, install and validate it in your sandbox within 2 to 4 weeks depending on the complexity of your tax setup, item catalog and signing method. ECOSIRE deploys it as a per-tenant AL extension into your Business Central environment and runs full sandbox testing against the ETA before production go-live.

What ongoing support and updates do I get after go-live?

The ETA specification, code tables and validation rules change over time. Under your support agreement ECOSIRE maintains the extension against ETA spec updates, fixes issues, and assists with Business Central version upgrades so your submissions keep clearing. Support covers configuration changes, new item-code mappings and help reconciling rejected documents.

Does it handle the digital signature requirement?

Yes. ETA requires each document to be signed (CAdES). The extension integrates with your signing method — USB cryptographic token, HSM, or a signing service — and invokes the signing step automatically before submission, so users do not handle the cryptography manually.

Does it cover both e-invoices (B2B) and e-receipts (B2C/POS)?

Yes. It submits e-invoices and credit notes from Posted Sales documents and e-receipts from POS/retail documents, mapping each to the correct ETA document structure, with status tracking on both paths. The exact POS integration is scoped to your Business Central retail/POS configuration during the build.

Will it work with Business Central cloud (SaaS) and on-premises?

Yes. It is delivered as an AL extension compatible with both Business Central online (SaaS) and on-premises deployments. Signing hardware and outbound connectivity to the ETA API are configured to suit your deployment model — for SaaS, signing typically routes through a service endpoint since SaaS cannot access local USB tokens directly.

Can it map our items to EGS or GS1 codes?

Yes. A maintainable mapping table links each Business Central item to its ETA-registered EGS or GS1 product code, and we populate it for your active catalog during delivery. New items can be mapped by your team afterward, with validation that flags any unmapped item before submission.
