CargoWise Saudi Arabia e‑Invoicing Integration

Comply with ZATCA FATOORA Phase 2, Without Adding a Separate Platform

Get cryptographic stamping, QR code generation, and FATOORA integration built directly into your CargoWise environment, so compliance runs from the system you already use for shipments and billing.

Cargo ship sailing on turquoise blue water

Integration Phase waves keep expanding. ZATCA notifies each wave months ahead, and the clock starts immediately.

Saudi Arabia's e‑invoicing mandate under ZATCA (the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority) rolled out in two phases: Phase 1 (Generation), effective December 2021, required electronic invoice generation and storage; Phase 2 (Integration), which began in 2023, requires direct system integration with ZATCA's FATOORA platform, notified in successive waves by taxpayer turnover, with each wave getting roughly six months' notice.

Once your wave is notified, invoices need a cryptographic stamp and QR code and have to clear ZATCA's real-time or near-real-time clearance and reporting process before they're valid. CargoWise Saudi Arabia e‑Invoicing Integration connects your CargoWise environment to FATOORA directly, so you're ready before your wave's notice period runs out.

The Real Problems

Challenges freight businesses actually run into with e‑invoicing

Parameters
Challenge
Our Fix
Wave Notification Windows Are Short

A roughly six-month notice period doesn't leave much room for a slow-starting integration project.

We build and test your FATOORA integration well within your wave's notice window, not against a compressed last-minute deadline.

Real-Time Clearance Adds a Dependency

If integration with FATOORA isn't handled reliably, a failed or delayed clearance response can hold up invoice issuance entirely.

CargoWise invoices clear FATOORA automatically, with the response matched back to the originating job.

Cryptographic Stamping on Every Invoice

Phase 2 requires a cryptographic stamp and QR code on each invoice before it clears ZATCA, a technical requirement beyond basic PDF generation.

Cryptographic stamping and QR code generation are handled automatically as part of invoice creation, not a manual add-on.

Invoice Formats Not Matching Between Systems

The invoice format CargoWise generates and the XML structure FATOORA requires are not automatically the same.

Field mapping keeps your CargoWise invoice and the submitted XML version in sync, with a clear audit trail between the two.

Data Errors Triggering Clearance Rejection

Incorrect VAT number, tax codes, or line-item details submitted to FATOORA get rejected, holding up the transaction.

Invoice data is validated against CargoWise records before submission, catching mismatches before they ever reach FATOORA.

Here is our complete CargoWise Saudi Arabia e‑Invoicing Integration process flow

01

Discovery & Analysis

We confirm your wave notification status and identify which invoice types, standard tax invoices and simplified invoices, are in scope.

02

Data Mapping

We map CargoWise invoice fields, VAT number, tax codes, line items, to the XML structure FATOORA requires.

03

Build & Configure

We connect CargoWise to FATOORA, configuring cryptographic stamping, QR code generation, and the clearance or reporting flow automatically.

04

Testing for Compliance

We test invoice submission against real transaction scenarios in the ZATCA sandbox, confirming clearance succeeds before go-live.

05

Go-Live & Hypercare

Controlled cut-over with close monitoring through your first live invoicing cycle under Phase 2.

06

Monitor, Support & Train

Ongoing monitoring of clearance status, plus mapping updates as ZATCA notifies future waves and adjusts requirements.

What It Delivers

What CargoWise Saudi Arabia e‑Invoicing Integration delivers?

01

Every Invoice Clears FATOORA Automatically

Cryptographic stamping, QR codes, and submission happen without manual portal entry.

02

Built Within Your Wave's Notice Window

Integration is tested and ready well before your wave's compliance date, not rushed against it.

03

Simplified and Standard Invoices Both Covered

B2C simplified invoices and B2B standard tax invoices are mapped and submitted correctly under Phase 2.

04

No Invoice Ships Without Clearance

An invoice that hasn't cleared FATOORA isn't valid under Phase 2, this integration is built specifically to prevent that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Happy to Assist You with Anything

Phase 1 (from December 2021) required generating and storing electronic invoices. Phase 2 (from 2023, rolling out in waves) requires direct system integration with ZATCA's FATOORA platform for clearance and reporting.

ZATCA notifies businesses directly based on taxable revenue, generally giving around six months' notice. We help you confirm your wave status during discovery.

It isn't valid until it clears, which is why we validate invoice data against CargoWise records before submission to reduce rejections.

Yes. Standard B2B tax invoices and simplified B2C invoices are both mapped and submitted correctly under the Phase 2 requirements that apply to each.

We monitor ZATCA guidance and adjust your configuration as requirements evolve, so you stay compliant without tracking it yourself.

We generate all five mandatory invoice elements automatically and run full Fatoora Simulation Portal testing before go-live, protecting your customers' VAT claims.
