OPEN e-Invoice — UAE e-Invoicing, ready for the FTA mandate.

Circuit Computer's e-invoicing platform built on the UAE Federal Tax Authority's PEPPOL-based 5-corner DCTCE model. Issue, exchange, validate, report and archive invoices end-to-end — without ripping out your ERP.

What UAE e-Invoicing actually requires.

The UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has adopted a PEPPOL-based 5-corner Continuous Transaction Controls and Exchange (DCTCE) framework for e-Invoicing. Suppliers and buyers no longer email PDFs to each other — invoices flow through accredited service providers and are reported to the FTA in near real time.

Every business in scope needs four things in place: a tax-authority-approved exchange channel (an Access Point), invoices in the right structured format (PINT AE), validation against UAE business rules, and a long-term archive that the FTA can audit.

OPEN e-Invoice gives you all four — plus the connectors to your existing ERP, POS or accounting system, so the day you go live, nothing in your operational stack has to change.

The 5-corner model, simplified.

How an invoice now travels from your ERP to your customer's ERP — with the FTA notified along the way.

C1

Supplier

Your business issues the invoice from your existing ERP, POS or accounting system.

C2

Supplier's Access Point

OPEN e-Invoice converts the invoice into the PINT AE format, validates it, and dispatches it through the PEPPOL network.

C3

Buyer's Access Point

The receiving Access Point pulls the invoice off the network, validates it again, and hands it to the buyer.

C4

Buyer

Your customer's ERP receives a structured invoice — no PDF, no re-keying — and can post it straight to AP.

C5

FTA

The supplier's Access Point sends a structured report to the Federal Tax Authority in near real time, closing the loop.

Archive

Every invoice and every FTA acknowledgement is sealed and stored in an audit-ready archive for the retention period the regulator requires.

What ships with OPEN e-Invoice.

A complete UAE e-Invoicing stack — Access Point, format conversion, validation, FTA reporting and ERP connectors — in one platform.

PEPPOL Access Point

Send and receive on the global PEPPOL network through our accredited Access Point — no need for you to become an ASP yourself.

PINT AE format

Native support for the PEPPOL International Invoice profile for the UAE. Mappings from your ERP fields done once, run for every invoice.

Two-stage validation

Schema and PINT AE business-rule validation before the invoice leaves your network — so the FTA never sees a malformed document.

FTA real-time reporting

Each invoice is reported to the FTA via the prescribed channel, with the regulator's acknowledgement captured and stored alongside the invoice.

ERP & POS connectors

Pre-built adapters for the major ERPs, accounting suites and POS platforms used in the UAE. Generic REST/SOAP and SFTP fallback for everything else.

Sealed audit archive

Every invoice, every validation result, every FTA acknowledgement — sealed, time-stamped and retained for the full statutory period.

Sandbox & conformance

Test invoices end-to-end in a sandbox that mirrors the production exchange — including FTA-style acknowledgements — before you go live.

Operations dashboard

Throughput, rejection reasons, retry queue, FTA submission status and per-customer flow — one screen for the AR/AP team, one for compliance.

Security by design

Aligned to ISO 27001 controls, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access and full audit logs on every action.

Phased rollout — get ahead of the deadline.

The UAE's e-invoicing mandate is rolling out in phases, starting with B2B and B2G transactions and expanding from there. Onboarding takes weeks, not days — connectors need testing, ERP fields need mapping, your AP team needs training, and your Access Point arrangement needs to be in place before the first mandated invoice.

Engage now and we put you into our sandbox today, run real invoices through the validation engine, and have you ready well before the cutover. Wait, and you'll be competing for implementation slots with everyone else.

1

Scope

Identify the entities, invoice flows and ERPs in scope.

2

Connect

Plug OPEN e-Invoice into your ERP via a pre-built or REST connector.

3

Map & test

Map your invoice fields to PINT AE and run live sandbox tests.

4

Go live

Switch the exchange to production. Reporting and archiving start automatically.

Frequently asked.

Do I need to become an Accredited Service Provider myself?

No. OPEN e-Invoice provides the Access Point — your business uses our accredited channel and stays focused on the invoices it generates, not the infrastructure underneath.

Will it disrupt my existing ERP or accounting system?

Not for the vast majority of installations. We plug into your ERP through a connector that reads the same invoice data you generate today; the conversion to PINT AE, the validation, the exchange and the FTA report all happen outside the ERP. You keep your existing posting flow.

What about historical invoices?

You can backload historical invoices into the archive — useful for audit continuity. They're stored alongside the new e-invoices in the same retention vault.

What if the FTA tightens a rule mid-year?

The validation rules and PINT AE profile are centrally maintained by us — when the regulator updates the schema or business rules, every customer picks up the new version on the next release. No change to your ERP, no consulting bill for a rules upgrade.

Can OPEN e-Invoice cover cross-border PEPPOL invoicing too?

Yes. The same Access Point that handles UAE PINT AE invoices also handles cross-border PEPPOL invoices into other PEPPOL jurisdictions — useful if you trade with customers in Europe, Singapore, ANZ or any other PEPPOL country.

In short: if you'd rather not build an Access Point, learn PINT AE, and chase FTA schema updates yourself, OPEN e-Invoice is the shortest credible path from your ERP to FTA-compliant e-invoicing.

Be FTA-ready before the deadline forces you.

We'll walk through your invoice volumes, your ERP, and what an OPEN e-Invoice rollout looks like for your business — concretely, in 30 minutes.
