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