Data fields to fix before go-live

What invoice data should we clean up before e-invoicing starts?

The situation

UAE e-invoices follow PINT AE with mandatory fields. Missing buyer details, TRNs, item descriptions and tax codes are the usual problems.

The law

  • Ministerial Decision 243 of 2025 on the Electronic Invoicing System: Scope, exclusions and obligations for e-invoicing

What it means for you

Start with customer master data: legal name, TRN, address and identifiers. Then check item codes, units, VAT categories and credit note links. Example: a distributor with 2,000 customers found 30 percent missing TRNs and fixed them before testing. Use your ASP's validation tool.

What to do

  1. Export customer and item master data.
  2. Fill missing TRNs and addresses.
  3. Map VAT categories to PINT AE codes.
  4. Validate sample invoices with the ASP.
