E-invoicing with Zoho Books in the UAE.

Zoho Books is itself an accredited service provider in the UAE. You can use Zoho’s own e-invoicing, or let CALX run the connection and the portal for you. Either way you keep working in Zoho Books.

How it works

How Zoho Books invoices become e-invoices

We connect to your Zoho Books organisation through Zoho’s interface, with your permission. Invoices and credit notes are picked up as you create them, from the date we agree, and sent through the accredited service provider in the UAE format.

Zoho counts the number of times its interface is called each day, so we check for new documents every thirty minutes rather than every few minutes. An invoice is normally on its way within the hour.

Zoho credit notes already name the invoice they correct. They still need a reason code, which is set in the portal.

Records

The records that must be right

The provider rejects what the format cannot carry. For every VAT-registered customer you need the TRN and the electronic address. For every invoice a due date where an amount is payable. For foreign-currency invoices the VAT totals in AED.

We fill the missing TRNs and electronic addresses in your customer and supplier records in the client portal, so that Zoho Books invoices are accepted from the first one.

Zoho Books specifics

What to know about Zoho Books and e-invoicing

Zoho Books holds the customer’s TRN. The electronic address is kept in your portal records.

Line items come from the invoice lines, with their VAT treatment. A line without a tax treatment is held until it is fixed.

Invoices in a currency other than AED need the VAT totals in AED. We agree how your organisation records them before go-live.

If you prefer Zoho’s own e-invoicing, we help you switch it on and set the records right. The choice is yours.
