OVERVIEW

What E-Invoice Generation Means for Your Business

Under ZATCA's e-invoicing regulation, every tax invoice, simplified invoice, credit note and debit note issued in Saudi Arabia must be generated electronically — in a defined structured format, with mandatory fields such as a QR code, and stored securely rather than issued as a scanned or handwritten document. This is Phase 1 of the regulation, and it applies to all VAT-registered businesses.

Webtel's e-invoice generation module handles this end to end. Instead of building compliant invoice templates yourself or relying on manual checks, your team issues invoices the same way they always have — the platform takes care of structuring the document correctly, embedding the required QR code and archiving a compliant copy automatically. This gives you a solid Phase 1 foundation that's also ready to extend into Phase 2 integration when your wave applies.

CAPABILITIES

Everything Covered Under Generation

Compliant Invoice Formatting

Invoices are structured in the required XML/UBL 2.1 format with every mandatory field, so nothing is missing when it's time to submit or audit.

Automatic QR Code Embedding

Every invoice carries a compliant, scannable QR code with the seller, VAT and total details required by ZATCA.

Credit & Debit Note Management

Issue and link credit or debit notes to their original invoice, keeping corrections traceable and compliant.

Secure, Searchable Archiving

Every generated invoice is stored in a centralized, tamper-evident record you can search, filter and export whenever you need it.

HOW IT WORKS

From Sale to Compliant Invoice

01

Capture the Transaction

Sale details are entered or pulled in from your point of sale or billing system.

02

Structure the Invoice

The invoice is generated in the required compliant format automatically.

03

Embed the QR Code

A compliant QR code is generated and attached to the invoice.

04

Store & Share

The invoice is archived and issued to your customer, ready for Phase 2 if applicable.

DOCUMENT TYPES

Every Document, One Compliant Format

Whatever the transaction, the platform generates the right document type — correctly structured and ready for archiving or, when your wave applies, for Phase 2 submission.

Tax Invoices

Standard B2B invoices structured for clearance when Phase 2 applies.

Simplified Invoices

B2C receipts generated with the mandatory QR code at point of sale.

Credit Notes

Linked to the original invoice for refunds and price adjustments.

Debit Notes

Issued for additional charges, correctly cross-referenced and compliant.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Benefits of Getting Generation Right

Built-In Compliance

Every invoice meets ZATCA's structural requirements without manual review.

Faster Invoice Turnaround

Invoices generate instantly at the point of sale or transaction entry.

A Clean Audit Trail

Every document is timestamped, archived and easy to retrieve on request.

Fewer Manual Errors

Automated formatting removes the risk of missing fields or typos.

Ready for Phase 2

A compliant Phase 1 foundation means integration is a smaller step later.

Scales With Your Volume

Handles a handful of invoices a day or thousands, without added overhead.

FAQS

Questions About E-Invoice Generation

Do I need Phase 2 integration to use this?+

No. Generation is a standalone Phase 1 requirement for every VAT-registered business. Phase 2 integration is rolled out in waves and can be added on top of your generation setup when your applicable date arrives.

What happens to invoices issued before I onboard?+

Historical invoices aren't affected retroactively. Once your generation setup goes live, every new invoice you issue is created in the compliant format from that point forward.

Can I still issue invoices from my point of sale system?+

Yes. Your team keeps using the systems they already work in — the compliant format, QR code and archiving happen behind the scenes without changing how invoices are issued day to day.
