PINT-AE e-Invoicing
Generate, submit, and reconcile FTA-compliant e-invoices through ClearTax or Flick — included in every PausePOS plan, with no per-invoice fees.
The July 2026 FTA mandate
From July 2026, every B2B and B2G e-invoice in the UAE must be issued in PINT-AE (UBL 2.1) format and submitted to the Federal Tax Authority through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP). Non-compliance penalties start at AED 5,000 per violation.
PausePOS has you covered. Our uae_einvoice_pint_ae module generates the XML, submits it via your chosen ASP, and tracks the full lifecycle from draft to validated.
E-invoice lifecycle — fully automated
Draft
Invoice created from POS order or accounting move. Validated for FTA-required fields (TRN, line items, totals).
Submitted
PINT-AE UBL 2.1 XML generated and posted to ASP (ClearTax or Flick).
Validated
ASP confirms receipt and FTA validates. Submission ID and Peppol message ID stored.
Rejected
If validation fails, we surface the error and let you correct and resubmit. Failed state visible in the dashboard.
Cancelled
Credit notes (TXCRN) linked to parent invoice (TAXINV). Cancelled on ASP if validated.
What we generate
PINT-AE UBL 2.1 XML
Full FTA schema — supplier, customer, tax totals, lines, payment terms.
Sequential numbering
TAXINV-2026-000001 for invoices, TXCRN-2026-000001 for credit notes.
B2B / B2C / B2G classification
Automatic detection based on buyer TRN. Drives tax treatment and reporting.
HMAC-signed webhooks
ASP status callbacks are verified with HMAC-SHA256 before updating invoice state.
15-digit TRN validation
Format check on every partner with a TRN — invalid TRNs block submission.
Auto-submit on invoice post
When you post an invoice in Odoo, we generate the XML and submit it to the ASP automatically.

PINT-AE E-Invoicing FAQ
What is PINT-AE e-invoicing?
PINT-AE is the UAE's mandated electronic invoicing standard (UBL 2.1 XML). From July 2026, all B2B and B2G invoices must be issued in this format and submitted to the FTA through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP).
Does PausePOS charge per-invoice fees for e-invoicing?
No. PINT-AE e-invoicing is included in every plan with no per-invoice fees. You only pay for your ASP (ClearTax, Flick, etc.) separately.
Which ASPs do you support?
We support ClearTax and Flick — both FTA-accredited. You can switch between them without losing your submission history.
What happens if an invoice fails validation?
The invoice enters a 'Rejected' state in Odoo with the full error message from the ASP. You can correct the issue and resubmit with one click.
Do you support B2C e-invoices?
B2C invoices currently require a QR code per FTA guidelines — this is included. Full B2C e-invoice submission via ASP is planned for a future release.
How is data retained for FTA audit?
Every submission, status callback, and error is logged with full request/response payloads. Data is retained for 10 years to meet FTA audit requirements.
