E-invoicing turns a tax invoice into structured data. Each invoice has to carry the right fields, pass the right validation rules and trace back to the law. This playbook brings all of that together in one place for the UAE (PINT-AE) and Oman (PINT-OM).
It is an interactive tool, not a static PDF. You can search any field or rule, follow how an invoice and its tax data move between the five corners, and see how each requirement connects to the regulation behind it. Where a link between a legal clause and a field is our own reading, it is clearly flagged. The introduction is available in English and Arabic.
What's Inside
Mandatory fields for each UAE document type: 51 for a Tax Invoice and 49 for a Commercial Invoice under the MoF Mandatory Fields list, and 51 for a Credit Note, derived from the PINT-AE specification.
All 132 UAE-specific validation rules in PINT-AE v1.0.4, grouped by the fields they affect, each with a plain-English meaning.
A live UAE readiness checklist with 29 items, built on the MoF Electronic Invoicing Guidelines V2.0, from appointing your ASP to go-live and beyond.
A field map, the XML path for each field, and the accepted values for every coded field.
A scenario playbook covering the eight MoF scenarios, such as free zone, deemed supply and exports, with an animated view of how a document travels between the five corners.
VAT law mapping, plus the decisions and key dates behind the mandate.
A data readiness self-assessment and a source mapping sheet, to check whether your business data can produce a compliant invoice.
A source register and change watch, showing the evidence behind each requirement, which official versions it is built on and when they were last checked.
For Oman: a field map, validation rules, code lists and scenarios built on PINT-OM v1.0.1, plus a UAE vs Oman comparison.
