FBR e-invoicing and POS integration
FBR integrated ERP for e-invoicing and POS compliance
Omnegic ERP is connected to FBR in real time. Sales tax invoices and retail POS sales are validated, submitted to FBR as they happen and printed with the FBR invoice number and QR code, straight from your sales and accounting workflow.
What is FBR digital invoicing?
Every sales tax invoice, shared with FBR as it is issued
Under FBR’s digital invoicing regime, covered sales-tax-registered businesses issue invoices electronically in a structured format and share them with FBR in real time. FBR returns a unique invoice number, and the invoice carries a QR code buyers can use to verify it.
FBR has rolled the requirement out in phases across companies, importers and other registered persons. A scanned or PDF-only invoice does not meet it on its own; invoices have to come from a system that integrates with FBR.
That is why e-invoicing belongs inside your ERP. When invoicing, stock and accounting are connected, compliance happens as part of normal work instead of as a separate data-entry job.
How it works
From sales invoice to FBR invoice number in four steps
- 1
Create the invoice as usual
Your team raises the sales invoice from a delivery or order in Omnegic. Buyer, item, quantity, rate and tax details are already on the record.
- 2
Omnegic validates it first
Required digital invoicing fields such as buyer registration details, HS code, unit of measure, sale type and tax rate are checked before anything is sent.
- 3
Submitted to FBR in real time
The structured invoice is sent to FBR’s Digital Invoicing system as soon as it is posted, without re-typing it on a portal.
- 4
FBR invoice number and QR code
The FBR invoice number is stored on the invoice, and the printed or PDF invoice carries the FBR QR code for verification.
FBR e-invoicing features
Everything digital invoicing needs, inside your ERP
Real-time FBR submission
Sales tax invoices are submitted to FBR automatically when they are posted in Omnegic.
FBR invoice number and QR code
Each accepted invoice stores its FBR number and prints with the FBR QR code.
HS codes and units mapped once
HS codes, units of measure and sale types are set on your item master, so invoices are complete by default.
Registered and unregistered buyers
Buyer NTN or CNIC and registration status are captured on the customer record and carried onto each invoice.
Debit and credit notes
Returns and price adjustments are issued as debit or credit notes that reference the original invoice.
Status tracking and resubmission
See which invoices are accepted or need attention, fix the reason shown, and resubmit from the same screen.
Sandbox testing before go-live
Your scenarios are tested in FBR’s sandbox environment before live invoicing starts.
Complete audit trail
Every submission, response and change is logged against the invoice for audits and tax reviews.
FBR POS integration
Retail sales reported to FBR at the counter, in real time
For retailers under FBR’s POS regime, such as Tier-1 retailers, every sale is sent to FBR as it is made, alongside the same stock and accounting updates as any other sale.
Real-time sale reporting
Each retail sale is submitted to FBR the moment it is recorded.
FBR number and QR on receipts
Customer receipts carry the FBR invoice number and QR code for verification.
Every outlet, one view
Outlet-level FBR status sits alongside stock and sales for head office.
One system, both regimes
POS integration and digital invoicing run on the same platform, so B2B and retail sales are both covered.
Why ERP, not a standalone tool
FBR-integrated invoicing that stays connected to stock and accounts
One invoice, three records updated
The invoice that goes to FBR also reduces stock and posts sales tax and receivables to the ledger.
Sales tax figures that agree
Output tax in your accounts comes from the same invoices FBR received, which makes return preparation and reconciliation simpler.
Fewer rejected invoices
Item and customer data is completed once on the master records, not typed again on every invoice.
FAQ
FBR e-invoicing: common questions
FBR requirements change through official notifications. Confirm how current rules apply to your business with your tax adviser.
What is FBR e-invoicing (digital invoicing)?
FBR digital invoicing, often called e-invoicing, requires covered sales-tax-registered businesses to issue sales tax invoices electronically in a structured format and share them with FBR in real time. FBR assigns each accepted invoice a unique invoice number, and the invoice carries a QR code that can be used to verify it.
Is Omnegic ERP FBR e-invoicing ready?
Yes. Omnegic submits sales tax invoices to FBR’s Digital Invoicing system in real time, stores the FBR invoice number, prints the FBR QR code on the invoice and tracks the submission status of every invoice. Retail sales are reported to FBR in real time through FBR POS integration.
Who has to comply with FBR digital invoicing?
FBR has extended digital invoicing to sales-tax-registered persons in phases through its notifications, covering companies, importers and other registered persons by category and turnover. Your tax adviser should confirm how the current notifications apply to your business.
Do we need a separate e-invoicing tool if we use Omnegic?
No. Digital invoicing works inside Omnegic’s sales and accounting modules, so invoices are created once and submitted directly, without exporting data or typing invoices into a separate portal.
What do we need to get started with FBR digital invoicing?
Typically your registration for digital invoicing with FBR, the credentials FBR issues for integration, complete item data including HS codes, and customer registration details. Omnegic’s team guides you through setup and sandbox testing before go-live.
What happens if FBR rejects an invoice?
Omnegic shows the invoice as needing attention with the reason returned, such as a missing HS code. Once the detail is corrected, the invoice can be resubmitted from the same screen.
Does Omnegic support FBR POS integration for retailers?
Yes. For retailers covered by FBR’s POS regime, such as Tier-1 retailers, Omnegic reports each sale to FBR in real time, and the receipt carries the FBR invoice number and QR code that customers can verify. POS integration and digital invoicing are separate FBR requirements, and Omnegic handles both.
What is the difference between FBR POS integration and e-invoicing?
FBR POS integration applies to retailers selling to consumers at the counter, such as Tier-1 retailers. Digital invoicing (e-invoicing) applies to sales tax invoices issued by covered registered businesses. Both require real-time submission to FBR; which applies to you depends on your business, and some businesses need both.
