FBR describes electronic invoicing as the creation and exchange of structured electronic invoices rather than scanned paper documents. Applicable registered persons connect their POS, ERP or invoicing system through a route allowed by current FBR rules. Asaan Solutions can support software preparation, field mapping, validation and implementation planning; licensed-integrator status and the final transmission route must be verified for each engagement.
Availability, authentication and technical scope depend on the external platform, current requirements and approved access.
Authority-specific guidance
What this workflow means for the relevant jurisdiction
The Federal Board of Revenue distinguishes structured electronic invoicing from scanned or manually digitised invoices. FBR's current guidance refers to registered persons, electronic invoicing software, POS or ERP systems, licensed integrators, API integration and real-time transmission.
Businesses that may need this workflow
Corporate and non-corporate registered persons covered by current FBR requirements
Businesses using invoicing, POS or ERP software
Teams preparing structured sales-tax invoice data
Organisations that need a supported licensed-integrator route
Typical implementation sequence
1Confirm registration, obligation and integration route with current FBR guidance
2Prepare seller, buyer, item, HS-code, sale-type and tax data
3Configure sandbox or testing access where available
4Validate scenarios and preserve FBR responses or references
5Move to production only after required access and acceptance
Status and verification note
FBR states that only a licensed integrator with a valid FBR licence can configure a notified registered person's software for real-time transmission. Asaan Solutions does not claim licensed-integrator or government-approved status on this page. Confirm the final route and provider against FBR's current list before implementation.
