Simplify ZATCA Compliance with Microsoft Dynamics 365
Saudi Arabia’s e-invoicing requirements have changed the way businesses create, manage, and exchange invoices. Dynamics Center helps organizations connect their invoicing processes with ZATCA e-invoicing requirements through integrated Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions.
Our approach combines ERP integration, invoice automation, technical configuration, and compliance support to help businesses manage electronic invoicing with greater accuracy and efficiency.
Whether your organization uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, or Dynamics 365 Business Central, Dynamics Center can help align your existing financial processes with the applicable ZATCA requirements.
ZATCA has implemented e-invoicing in two phases. Phase 1, the Generation Phase, began on December 4, 2021, while Phase 2, the Integration Phase, started from January 1, 2023, and is being introduced in waves. Phase 2 requires applicable taxpayers to integrate their electronic invoicing solutions with the FATOORA platform and generate invoices in the required formats.

ZATCA E-Invoicing Integration for Dynamics 365
A connected ERP environment can make electronic invoicing easier to manage because invoice information can flow from your existing business transactions into the invoicing process.
Dynamics Center can help configure and integrate your Microsoft Dynamics 365 environment to support processes such as:
- Customer and vendor invoice processing
- Tax and VAT information management
- Electronic invoice generation
- Credit and debit notes
- Invoice data validation
- Integration with ZATCA systems
- Invoice status and transaction monitoring
- Financial reporting and reconciliation
For Phase 2, ZATCA requires applicable e-invoices to follow defined technical requirements. Tax invoices must be generated in the required electronic format, and tax invoices are submitted to the FATOORA platform through APIs for clearance.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 and ZATCA Compliance
Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides the financial and operational foundation for managing transactions, customers, suppliers, taxes, and accounting information. Dynamics Center builds on that foundation to help businesses prepare their ERP processes for Saudi Arabia's e-invoicing framework.
Dynamics 365 Finance
Dynamics 365 Finance can support organizations with financial management, accounts receivable, accounts payable, taxation, and invoice processing. Dynamics Center can help assess the existing Finance environment and configure the required processes for ZATCA e-invoicing integration.
Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
For businesses managing purchasing, inventory, sales, and supply chain transactions, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management can work alongside Finance to provide the transaction data required for invoicing.
Dynamics Center can help connect these processes so that invoice information is generated from the underlying business transactions rather than relying on separate manual processes.
Dynamics 365 Business Central
Dynamics 365 Business Central is suitable for small and mid-sized businesses looking to manage finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, and other core operations within one ERP platform.
Dynamics Center can help businesses using Business Central prepare their invoicing workflows for applicable ZATCA requirements while maintaining their existing financial processes.
