How do I enable e-invoicing and the QR code?
E-invoicing in the system targets Saudi Arabia through ZATCA, in two phases: phase one puts the QR code on your invoices, and phase two sends every invoice to ZATCA's Fatoora platform automatically.
Phase one: the QR code
- Set the tax number (15 digits) on the Tax & E-Invoicing tab — image 1.
- Switch on Enable e-invoicing (ZATCA — Saudi Arabia).
- Write the legal name exactly as registered with ZATCA.
- Make sure demo mode is off, then press Save. From then on every approved invoice carries the QR code.
Phase two: linking with the Fatoora platform
It is enabled per account: contact the Mazoon team to enable it for yours, then you link yourself from the same screen in a few minutes.
Have ready before you start: the national address proof of the establishment, access to the Fatoora portal (fatoora.zatca.gov.sa) with the establishment's account, and the VAT number and national address of your business customers.
- On the Tax & E-Invoicing tab: complete the legal name and the national address as in the proof (building number 4 digits, postal code 5 digits, additional number 4 digits), choose Phase 2 and the invoices you issue, then press Save.
- On the card of each business customer: add their VAT number and full national address. Individual customers need nothing.
- In the Fatoora portal: choose Onboard new solution unit/device and copy the OTP. It is valid for one hour.
- In the Fatoora portal link card at the end of the tab: choose Production, paste the OTP and press Link with Fatoora, then wait until the status shows Linked.
The E-Invoicing Guide tab on the same screen shows these steps too — image 2.
After linking
- Service invoices, engineering consultancy invoices and workshop invoices are sent to ZATCA automatically; the other modules follow.
- An invoice to a business (tax invoice) is cleared by ZATCA before it can be printed or shared; an invoice to an individual (simplified) prints at once and is reported within minutes.
- Follow each invoice's status on its page, and every document sent in E-invoices sent under General Settings.
- An invoice sent to ZATCA can no longer be edited or deleted: correct it with the Cancel the invoice or part of it (credit note) button on its page, then issue a correct one.
- Engineering consultancy: progress invoices are sent normally; advance-payment invoices and invoices with retention or an advance deduction are not supported yet.
Notes
- If your organisation is outside Saudi Arabia, do not enable this; your invoices print normally without a code.
- The legal name is not necessarily the trade name; write it as it appears on the tax registration certificate.
- Linking needs the currency to be Saudi riyal (SAR) with two decimals; if a warning about it appears at the top of the tab, fix it first.
- Demo mode prints a code with sample data and a TEST badge, for preview only; switch it off before issuing real invoices.
