E-Invoicing Readiness

Prepare invoice data, systems and internal ownership for the UAE eInvoicing programme, then coordinate a clear handoff to the Accredited Service Provider your business selects.

Scope

Build readiness before provider onboarding

E-invoicing is a structured data exchange, not simply emailing a PDF. We help the business understand its current data, close practical gaps and run better conversations with potential ASPs.

01

Readiness assessment

We document invoice flows, transaction volumes, business entities, systems and people involved in issuing and receiving invoices.

  • Current-state invoice and credit-note workflow map
  • Entity, branch, customer, supplier and system inventory
  • Readiness register with owners, dependencies and priority
02

Invoice and master-data mapping

Existing invoice fields and master records are mapped to the structured information expected by the programme and the selected provider.

  • Customer, supplier, item, tax and address-field review
  • Invoice, credit-note and reference-data mapping workbook
  • Missing, duplicated and inconsistent data controls
03

ERP and export gap review

We compare the system's available fields and exports with the data that must move into the e-invoicing workflow.

  • Configuration and export-capability review
  • Manual-step, integration and ownership gap register
  • Controlled Excel, CSV or custom-export preparation where appropriate
04

ASP comparison conversations

We help the client organise questions, demonstrations and commercial comparisons without presenting ourselves as an ASP or making claims about provider accreditation.

  • Requirements brief for potential providers
  • Demonstration question set and comparison record
  • Clarification of data, integration, support and onboarding assumptions
05

Communication bridge, onboarding and testing coordination

Once the client selects an ASP, we can translate accounting and data requirements between the business team and provider during onboarding.

  • Responsibility map across client, TBT and selected ASP
  • Test-case, sample-file and issue-log coordination
  • Reconciliation of test outputs back to source transactions
06

Custom export preparation and ongoing data-quality controls

Repeatable checks help prevent bad master data or incomplete source records from becoming recurring exchange failures.

  • Controlled Python or Excel validation for approved exports
  • Exception reports, ownership and correction routines
  • Periodic reconciliation between source records and exchanged data

How the work moves

The readiness bridge

TBT works between the client's accounting reality and the selected ASP's technical onboarding, while each party keeps its proper responsibility.

  1. 01

    Client

    Owns business decisions, source systems, approvals and provider selection.

  2. 02

    TBT readiness bridge

    Maps data, organises requirements and coordinates accounting questions.

  3. 03

    Selected ASP

    Provides the accredited service and defines its technical connection requirements.

  4. 04

    Onboard and test

    Run agreed samples, log issues and reconcile results to source records.

  5. 05

    Compliant exchange

    Move into the approved operating process with ongoing data-quality controls.
