Missing details flagged

I have not invented the following missing details:

  1. Invoice number / serial number — required for a valid tax invoice but not provided.
  2. Buyer name and VAT number — may be required if the invoice is not a simplified retail invoice or if the buyer needs to claim input VAT.
  3. Seller address / contact details — not provided; may be required depending on the invoice format or ZATCA compliance template.
  4. Phase 2 e-invoice cryptographic fields — if this is intended as a ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoice, additional elements such as invoice hash, digital signature, and other QR content may be required.

How it works

  1. Paste the seller details, items and prices before VAT.
  2. Check each line calculation and missing details with your accountant.
  3. Ask it to generate the invoice QR code and PDF in Qalam.
