A short, structured review of your ERP, master data, invoice scenarios and people that tells you what will fail under PINT AE, and in what order to fix it.
A UAE e-invoicing readiness assessment is a gap analysis of how a company issues and receives invoices compared with the PINT AE and Accredited Service Provider requirements of Ministerial Decisions 243 and 244 of 2025. It reviews ERP capability, master data such as customer TRNs, tax codes, invoice sources, credit notes and numbering, tests real invoice scenarios, and ends with a prioritized remediation plan.
A UAE e-invoicing readiness assessment is a gap analysis of how your company issues and receives invoices today, measured against what the mandate requires: structured PINT AE data exchanged through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) in the Peppol-based model set by Ministerial Decisions No. 243 and 244 of 2025. It answers three questions: will our ERP produce the right data, which of our invoice scenarios will be rejected, and how much work stands between us and our go-live date.
Companies that skip this step usually discover their gaps during ASP testing, when time is already short. Typical findings are customers without TRNs, one VAT code used for both zero-rated and exempt sales, invoices raised in Excel or a separate billing tool outside the ERP, credit notes with no link to the original invoice, and several legal entities sharing one invoice series. None of these is hard to fix, but each takes weeks once you include approvals and data owners.
The assessment is platform-neutral. We implement Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext, Dynamics 365 and custom ERP, so the report tells you what your current system can do rather than steering you to a new one. Where an upgrade or replacement is the honest answer, we say so and explain why.
Our findings cover systems, data and processes only and are not tax advice. Scope questions, such as how revenue is measured for a group, belong with your tax advisor, and dates should be rechecked against current Ministry of Finance and FTA announcements.
The benchmark is the published mandate. The UAE e-invoicing requirements page covers each rule in more depth.
We confirm which phase applies: revenue of AED 50 million or more means appointing an ASP by 30 October 2026 and going live on 1 January 2027; below that, ASP appointment by 31 March 2027 and go-live on 1 July 2027. Your tax advisor should confirm how revenue is measured for your group.
B2B and B2G invoices and credit notes are in scope; B2C sales are excluded from the initial scope. We list every invoice stream you run, including those from POS, billing portals and project tools, and classify each one.
Your master data and invoice records are checked against the data fields the FTA published in February 2026, field by field, to find what is missing, wrong or held in free text.
Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025 sets penalties such as AED 5,000 per month for late implementation or ASP appointment and AED 100 per invoice or credit note not issued or transmitted, capped monthly. We highlight where your process could create repeated per-invoice exposure.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Rules change; confirm current FTA, MOHRE and Ministry of Finance guidance with your advisor.
Having these ready shortens the assessment and makes the findings more precise.
A focused assessment for one or two entities usually runs over two to three weeks, with most effort in data profiling and scenario testing.
One shared database: every step updates stock, finance and reports in real time.
Each area is rated ready, partly ready or not ready. The examples show what each rating typically looks like in a UAE company.
| Area | Ready looks like | Not ready looks like | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer TRNs | All B2B customers have validated TRNs and legal names | TRNs missing or held in notes | Data clean-up drive plus mandatory field on new customers |
| Tax codes | Standard, zero-rated, exempt and out-of-scope clearly separated | One 0% code for everything not standard-rated | Split codes and map each to a PINT AE category |
| Invoice sources | All B2B invoices posted in one ERP | Some invoices from Excel or a separate billing tool | Route invoices through the ERP or integrate the tool |
| Credit notes | Always reference the original invoice | Standalone negative invoices or discounts by journal | Enforce credit notes against invoices |
| Numbering | Unique, gap-controlled series per entity | Manual or shared numbering | Reset series rules before go-live |
| ERP capability | Supported version with an e-invoicing path | Unsupported or heavily customised version | Upgrade, connector or middleware |
| Inbound invoices | Plan to receive e-invoices into AP | Only outbound considered | Design supplier invoice intake with the ASP |
| People | Named owner for exceptions and ASP relationship | Nobody assigned | RACI and daily monitoring routine |
Ratings are a planning tool, not a legal opinion.
The assessment is the first phase of a longer path. Durations are typical and depend on your findings; the e-invoicing implementation page covers the later phases.
Durations are typical ranges; your plan is agreed after discovery.
Inventory, profiling, scenario tests and the scored gap report.
Compare ASPs on ERP connectors, API quality, inbound handling and support, then appoint before your deadline.
Clean data, fix tax codes and numbering, adjust ERP configuration and build or install the connector.
Run your real scenarios through the ASP sandbox until rejections stop.
Switch on, monitor daily and close remaining actions from the report.

Ask an ExpertNo. An ERP health check looks at the whole system; the e-invoicing assessment focuses on invoice data, scenarios and the ASP connection. If both are needed, they can run together.
Not really. You must appoint an ASP by 31 March 2027, and data clean-up often takes longer than expected. Smaller firms can read e-invoicing for SMEs for a lighter approach.
Read-only access or exports are enough. We profile data and test scenarios without changing your live system.
A scored gap report by area, a list of failing invoice scenarios with causes, an ASP requirements note and a remediation roadmap with owners and estimated effort.
Only when the current system cannot reasonably produce the data or is out of support. In most cases the answer is configuration, data clean-up and a connector.
No. We assess systems and processes; scope, revenue thresholds and tax treatments should be confirmed with your tax advisor.
