E-invoicing for wholesale and trading companies.
Wholesalers, distributors and trading companies invoice other businesses on almost every sale, so e-invoicing covers nearly all of their invoices. Volumes are high, returns are frequent and every customer needs a correct TRN.

What changes for traders
- Sales invoices are sent as PINT AE through your accredited provider, often hundreds a day.
- Returns, discounts after invoicing and price corrections are issued as e-credit notes.
- Customer master data becomes critical: a missing TRN means a rejected e-invoice.
- Purchases from UAE suppliers arrive as e-invoices instead of PDFs.
