Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Integration with UAE E-Invoicing
Connect Business Central to the UAE's Peppol-based e-invoicing mandate — PINT AE invoice generation, Access Service Provider connectivity, and inbound invoice automation, ready ahead of your Federal Tax Authority go-live date.
The UAE's E-Invoicing Mandate, In Plain Terms
The UAE is moving to mandatory business-to-business e-invoicing under a decentralized continuous transaction control and exchange (DCTCE) model, run by the Federal Tax Authority. Invoices move as structured PINT AE data through accredited Access Service Providers on the Peppol network — not as PDFs, and not submitted directly to the FTA by the business itself.
For a Business Central, Dynamics NAV, LS Central, or LS NAV environment, that means every sales and purchase invoice needs a compliant path in and out of your ERP: generating and transmitting PINT AE XML on the way out, and validating and posting supplier e-invoices on the way in — with status, rejections, and resubmissions visible the whole time.
Supported ERP Systems
Everything UAE E-Invoicing Requires
PINT AE Invoice Generation
Generates outbound sales invoices and credit notes as PINT AE-compliant structured data straight from Business Central, ready for transmission by your Access Service Provider.
Peppol Access Point Connectivity
Connects Business Central to any FTA-accredited Access Service Provider over the Peppol network, so outbound invoices reach the buyer and the FTA correctly and inbound ones reach you.
Inbound Invoice Automation
Receives supplier e-invoices, matches them against purchase orders and receipts, and posts or flags them for review — accept, reject, or query, without re-keying.
Status & MLS Tracking
Tracks submission, acceptance, and rejection status for every invoice, with message-level acknowledgements surfaced back into Business Central so nothing silently fails.
Archival for FTA Audit Readiness
Keeps a tamper-evident record of every outbound and inbound e-invoice, matched to its transmission status, for the retention periods the FTA requires.
The 5-Corner Model
UAE e-invoicing runs on Peppol's 5-corner model — every invoice moves seller-to-buyer through accredited Access Points, while a fifth corner reports the same transaction to the Federal Tax Authority in real time.
- Invoice created and posted inside your ERP — Business Central, Dynamics NAV, LS Central, or LS NAV.
- No manual re-entry — it's the same document the business already produces.
- Sent to the seller's own accredited Access Point for validation.
The secure B2B and B2G e-delivery backbone connecting every accredited Access Point.
SML/SMP lookup services that resolve which Access Point a business is registered with.
Collects, processes, and stores the tax data the FTA receives from Access Points.

How It Works
Assess & Choose an ASP
Confirm your mandate phase and appoint an FTA-accredited Access Service Provider before your deadline.
Connect Business Central
We wire up PINT AE generation and Peppol Access Point connectivity directly inside your ERP.
Transmit & Receive
Outbound invoices generate and transmit automatically; inbound supplier invoices validate against POs and post.
Monitor & Reconcile
Status, acceptances, and rejections stay visible in Business Central, with resubmission handled in place.
AR (Sending) Application Flow
How invoices travel from source ERPs through the e-invoice engine to the FTA.
- Source ERPs: Business Central, Dynamics NAV, LS Central, LS NAV, or any other ERP the sales invoice originates in.
- Input Invoice Data: Extracted as XLSX, CSV, JSON, or XML, at org / location / warehouse level, as a single invoice or in batch.
- Input Integration: Delivered onward via REST API, FTP/S-FTP, or direct file upload — whichever the source ERP already supports.
- e-Invoice Engine (C2): Transforms and validates: data validation, enrichment, buyer ID verification, and PINT AE conversion, with everything archived.
- AS4 · PINT AE → FTA & C3: Transmitted to the Federal Tax Authority and the buyer's Access Point over AS4.
- Response Returned: Acceptance, rejection, or query responses come back through the same engine and post to the source ERP automatically.
AP (Receiving) Application Flow
How inbound invoices arrive from the FTA and route into the buyer's ERP.
- FTA Access Point (C5): The Federal Tax Authority's corner of the network, where inbound purchase invoices first arrive.
- C3 Access Point: A Peppol-certified access point receives the AS4/PINT AE document and hands it to the e-invoice app.
- e-Invoice App: Validates, notifies, and generates invoice responses, with full archival and dashboards — available 24×7.
- Output Invoice Data & Integration: Delivered as XLSX, CSV, JSON, XML, or PDF via webhook, API, FTP/S-FTP, or file download.
- Buyer ERPs (C4): Business Central, Dynamics NAV, LS Central, LS NAV, or any other buyer ERP receives the cleared invoice, ready to match and post.
UAE E-Invoicing Rollout Timeline
A phased mandate under the decentralized continuous transaction control and exchange (DCTCE) model. Voluntary adoption opens 1 July 2026; B2C transactions are excluded.
D365 Zone
UAE e-invoicing fines.
Under Cabinet Resolution No. 106 of 2025, UAE businesses must issue e-invoices through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP). Missing the deadline, filing late, or failing to notify the FTA can trigger the penalties below — every month.
No ASP appointed, or system not implemented by deadline.
Late or missing invoice transmission (capped at AED 5,000/month).
Unreported system failure — FTA or ASP notification missed.
Go live before your deadline — full penalty protection. D365 Zone is ready to deploy now.
Every Submission Tracked, Both Directions
Outbound invoices to the FTA and inbound invoices from suppliers both flow through the same monitored path, so status, rejections, and resubmissions are never a mystery.
- Phase-Ready Compliance: Onboard onto an accredited Access Service Provider ahead of your mandated go-live date without re-platforming your ERP.
- Fewer Manual Touches: PO-matched inbound invoices and auto-generated outbound XML cut manual entry and reconciliation work on both sides of the ledger.
- Penalty Exposure Reduced: Automated transmission and status monitoring reduce the risk of missed deadlines and untransmitted invoices under Cabinet Decision No. 106 of 2025.
