Is Your Accounting System Ready?
The e-Invoicing project depends heavily on the quality of data held in the accounting environment and the system’s ability to create, receive and exchange the required structured information.

We do not assume the ERP must be replaced
Many businesses can prepare existing systems through configuration, data remediation, interface development or vendor updates. The right approach depends on the software, current customisations, data quality and transaction complexity.
Our role is to identify business and compliance requirements clearly so the IT team, ERP vendor and ASP can implement them correctly.
Multiple systems and entities
Where a group uses several ERP or accounting platforms, readiness should be assessed by system and entity rather than assuming one solution fits all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does UAE e-Invoicing require us to replace our ERP?
Not automatically. Existing systems should first be assessed for required data, integration and workflow capabilities.
Can you review SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Zoho, QuickBooks or other systems?
The review is based on the client’s actual accounting environment. Detailed vendor-specific technical configuration may require the relevant provider.
What invoice data should we review?
The assessment should cover fields required for structured invoices, VAT data, party information, document references and other applicable data requirements.
What if some invoice information is maintained outside the ERP?
That should be identified because manual or external data sources may affect automation, validation and completeness.
Do we need an API?
The integration method depends on the ERP/accounting system and selected ASP.
Can different group entities use different systems?
Yes, but the project should map each system, entity and invoice flow.
Do you perform the actual software coding?
Our focus is finance, tax, data and implementation advisory. Coding or product configuration is generally performed by the client’s IT team, ERP vendor or technology provider.
