About this Product
Large UAE taxpayers running ERPNext are facing the FTA e-invoicing mandate rolling out from 2027, and the standard Sales Invoice DocType simply doesn't speak the required language. ERPNext core can print a PDF and post GL entries, but it has no concept of PINT AE (the UAE's Peppol BIS 3.0 specialization), no UBL 2.1 syntax binding, no Accredited Service Provider (ASP) connection, and no way to track a clearance response from the FTA. Finance teams are left staring at a compliance deadline with a system that stops exactly where the regulation begins.
ECOSIRE builds a dedicated Frappe app — a proper module with its own DocTypes, not a pile of print-format hacks — that turns each posted Sales Invoice into a validated PINT AE XML document and moves it across the Peppol 5-corner model to your buyer via your chosen ASP. On on_submit of a Sales Invoice, a hooks.py doc event maps your ERPNext data (company TRN, customer TRN, AED currency and exchange rate, item-level VAT rate mapping to the correct UAE tax categories) into UBL 2.1, runs Schematron-style validation against the PINT AE rules, and hands the payload to an ASP connector. A new E-Invoice Log DocType stores the generated XML, the ASP transmission id, the clearance status, and every FTA API response so your tax team has a full audit trail inside ERPNext.
Technically, the app exposes whitelisted methods over the Frappe REST API for on-demand generation and re-submission, uses scheduler events to poll or reconcile pending transmissions, and processes inbound ASP webhooks to flip invoice status (cleared, rejected, delivered) as the corners report back. Role profiles and DocType permissions restrict who can transmit, cancel, or view raw XML, and client scripts surface a clear status indicator and action buttons directly on the Sales Invoice form so accountants never leave the screen they already work in. The ASP layer is built as a connector interface so your specific Accredited Service Provider — chosen from the FTA's accredited list — is the one we wire in and certify against.
Because this is build-to-order, nothing is a generic download. We start from a scoping call to confirm your ASP, your entity structure, your VAT category mix, and your Frappe/ERPNext version (v15 or v16). We build against your exact chart of accounts and tax templates, validate on a staging bench, run UAT with your finance team, and then install into production with a rollback plan. You receive the full source, a git repository handover, technical and user documentation, a training session, and a post-go-live support window. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, depending on ASP onboarding lead times, which are outside our control.

Who this is for
UAE CFO / Group Tax Lead
Accountable for FTA compliance across one or more UAE entities ahead of the 2027 mandate. Needs auditable e-invoice clearance evidence, correct TRN and VAT category handling, and confidence that ERPNext will pass FTA validation before the deadline.
ERPNext Finance Manager
Owns the ERPNext accounting workflow day to day. Wants clearance status visible directly on the Sales Invoice, minimal change to how accountants already work, and reliable handling of AED and foreign-currency invoices.
IT / ERP Systems Owner
Responsible for the Frappe bench and integrations. Cares about clean DocType design, whitelisted API surface, scheduler-based reconciliation, ASP webhook security, and receiving maintainable source plus a git handover rather than a black box.
Compliance / Internal Audit Officer
Needs a defensible audit trail: every generated XML, transmission id, and FTA response retained in ERPNext, with permissions restricting who can transmit or cancel a cleared invoice.
How UAE E-Invoicing (FTA Peppol PINT AE) for ERPNext Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | ERPNext Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FTA / PINT AE compliance | Built and validated against the PINT AE rule set for your setup | Depends entirely on your team's grasp of the spec | Generic Peppol support, often not UAE-localized | No e-invoicing concept at all |
| ASP connection | Your chosen FTA-accredited ASP wired and certified | You build and maintain the integration yourself | Fixed to the vendor's preferred ASP, if any | None |
| Fit to your ERPNext config | Mapped to your chart of accounts, TRN, and tax templates | Fully bespoke but slow and costly to reach | Configure to fit a generic data model | N/A |
| Audit trail | `E-Invoice Log` DocType retains XML, transmission id, FTA responses | Only what you decide to build | Varies; often limited logging | None |
| Delivery time | one working week from confirmed scope, build-to-order | Months of in-house development | Instant install but heavy localization work after | Immediate but non-compliant |
| Version support | Targeted build for v15 or v16 | Whatever you maintain | May lag behind Frappe releases | Ships with core |
| Source & ownership | Full source plus git repository handover | You own it, and you own all the risk | Often closed or license-restricted | Core code, not e-invoicing |
| Support & updates | Post-go-live window plus optional retainer for spec changes | Your team tracks every FTA change | Vendor roadmap, not UAE-specific | None |
Frequently Asked Questions about UAE E-Invoicing (FTA Peppol PINT AE)
How long until it's live, and is this an instant download?
It is not an instant download — this is a build-to-order engagement. After a scoping call to confirm your ASP, entity structure, VAT categories, and ERPNext version, typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. ASP accreditation and onboarding lead times sit with your provider and can extend that window, so we flag them early.
Which Accredited Service Provider (ASP) do you support?
The ASP connector is built as an interface, and we wire in the specific FTA-accredited provider you select from the FTA's accredited list. During scoping we confirm the ASP's API, authentication, and webhook model, then build and certify the connector against it. If you haven't chosen one yet, we'll help you evaluate options.
What ERPNext versions does it run on?
We build for Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16, packaged as a standard installable app on your bench. We target your exact version and its tax templates and chart of accounts, so the mapping matches your real configuration rather than a generic demo.
How does it fit into our existing invoicing workflow?
It hooks into the standard `Sales Invoice` DocType. A `hooks.py` doc event fires on submit to generate the PINT AE UBL 2.1 XML and transmit via your ASP, and client scripts add status badges and action buttons on the invoice form. Accountants keep working in ERPNext as they do today — the clearance status appears where they already are.
What about support and updates after go-live?
Every engagement includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and clearance-response troubleshooting. Because the FTA and PINT AE specifications will evolve, we can maintain the app under a separate support or retainer arrangement, applying rule-set and ASP changes as they are published. You also receive the full source and git repository, so you are never locked in.
How is the audit trail and data handled?
A dedicated `E-Invoice Log` DocType retains the generated XML, ASP transmission id, clearance status, and raw FTA API responses for every invoice. DocType-level permissions and role profiles restrict who can transmit, cancel, or view raw XML, giving audit and compliance a defensible, queryable record inside ERPNext.
Can it handle foreign-currency invoices and mixed VAT rates?
Yes. It captures AED as the reporting currency with the `conversion_rate` for foreign-currency invoices, and maps item- and invoice-level tax lines to the correct UAE VAT categories and exemption codes. Company and customer TRNs are validated before transmission to reduce FTA rejections.
