How UAE e-invoicing works, and where we fit

Every B2B and B2G invoice travels through five corners. You are Corner 1. We get your system ready, connect it to the ASP you choose and test until your invoices pass.

The five corners

  1. 1

    You, the supplier

    Your business issues the invoice from its own system. This is where CornerOne starts.

  2. 2

    Your ASP

    Your accredited service provider receives the invoice in PINT AE, validates it and sends it on.

  3. 3

    Your buyer's ASP

    The buyer's accredited service provider receives the invoice from your ASP.

  4. 4

    Your buyer

    The buyer receives the invoice as structured data in their own system.

  5. 5

    The FTA

    The Federal Tax Authority receives the tax data.

Both sending and receiving businesses need an ASP. Sales to consumers (B2C) are outside the system for now. CornerOne is not an ASP. We work with MoF-accredited ASPs. You choose the provider.

Our process

  1. 1

    Check your data

    We review sample invoices and your system's data. You get a clear list of what PINT AE needs that you do not have yet.

  2. 2

    Choose your provider

    We are not tied to one ASP. We integrate with several accredited providers and recommend the fit for your volume and budget. You make the choice.

  3. 3

    Connect

    We clean and map your invoice data to PINT AE and build the connection between your system and your ASP.

  4. 4

    Test and go live

    We send test invoices, fix every rejection and support you through go-live and your first live invoices.

What we need from you

  • Your TRN

    Your Tax Registration Number and basic company details.

  • Sample invoices

    A handful of recent invoices, including any unusual ones.

  • System access

    Access to your system or its export, so we can map the data.

When an invoice is rejected

A rejected invoice comes back with a reason. We find the cause, whether a missing field, a wrong code or a data problem in your system, and fix it in the mapping or at the source. Then the invoice is sent again.

During testing we work through these cases on purpose, so you meet them before go-live and not after.
