OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Connecting a system to Fawtara is the first step. The bigger long-term benefit comes from automating everything around it: issuing e-invoices without manual steps, catching errors early, routing rejections to the right person and reconciling what was sent with what was booked.

We design automation around your process. E-invoices can be triggered when a document is posted or on a schedule, validated automatically, sent through your accredited service provider and tracked until they are delivered. Only exceptions reach your team.

Rejections and errors are routed to the people who can fix them, with the reason and the next step. Daily reconciliation compares invoices in your ERP with statuses from your provider, so nothing slips through, even at month end.

Automation also covers incoming e-invoices from your suppliers, which can be received, matched to purchase orders and passed for approval with fewer manual checks.

CAPABILITIES

What We Automate

Triggering

E-invoices are issued automatically from posted documents.

Validation

Data is checked before sending, with clear errors.

Exception routing

Rejections go to the right owner with the reason.

Reconciliation

Sent invoices are matched with ERP records every day.

COMMON CHALLENGES

What Usually Gets in the Way

These are the issues we see most often. Each one is planned for from the start, so it does not surface in the week before go-live.

01

Manual workarounds

Teams may rely on spreadsheets and email to track invoices.

02

Unclear ownership

Rejections can sit unresolved without a clear owner.

03

Month-end pressure

Peaks make manual checking impractical.

04

Incoming invoices

Supplier e-invoices also need processing and approval.

THE FAWTARA MODEL

How Oman E-Invoicing Works

Fawtara, the Oman Tax Authority's e-invoicing programme, uses a Peppol-based five-corner model. Invoices are issued in the PINT OM format and travel through an accredited service provider, which delivers them to the buyer and passes the tax data to the OTA. Invoices cannot be sent from an ERP directly to the OTA.

Step 1

You issue the invoice

In your ERP, accounting or billing system.

Step 2

It is validated

Checked against PINT OM and Omani VAT rules.

Step 3

Your provider sends it

Your accredited service provider exchanges it over Peppol.

Step 4

The buyer receives it

Delivered to the buyer's own service provider and system.

Step 5

The OTA is informed

Tax data reaches the Oman Tax Authority through Fawtara.

HOW IT WORKS

How We Implement It

01

Scope the flow

We document the systems, data and approvals involved in your invoicing.

02

Design the mapping

Fields, rules and exceptions are defined against PINT OM and Omani VAT rules.

03

Build and test

The connection is built and tested with real invoices, including the edge cases.

04

Run and monitor

After go-live, statuses and exceptions are monitored so nothing is missed.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Example: A Rejected Invoice

How automation handles an invoice rejected for a missing VAT number.

See It in a Demo →
  1. 1 Rejection receivedThe status from your accredited service provider shows a rejection.
  2. 2 Routed to the ownerThe customer master owner receives an alert with the reason.
  3. 3 Data correctedThe VAT number is updated in the customer record.
  4. 4 ReissuedThe invoice is corrected and sent again automatically.
  5. 5 ReconciledThe daily report shows the invoice as delivered.

WHY IT MATTERS

What You Gain

Ready on your phase date

Every in-scope invoice is issued in the PINT OM format from your go-live date.

Fewer rejections

Data is checked before it leaves your system, not after a buyer or the OTA flags it.

Ten-year archive

E-invoices are stored electronically, ready for audits and OTA requests.

Time saved

Your team works on exceptions, not every invoice.

Full visibility

Dashboards show what was sent, delivered or stuck.

Faster supplier processing

Incoming e-invoices are matched and approved sooner.

FAQS

Common Questions

Can we automate incoming supplier e-invoices too?+

Yes. Incoming e-invoices can be received, matched to purchase orders and passed for approval automatically.

What happens if an invoice is stuck?+

Alerts are raised when an invoice has no final status within an agreed time, so it is followed up quickly.

Do we need a new system for automation?+

Not usually. Automation is built around your ERP and accredited service provider, using tools you already have where possible.

Which format do Omani e-invoices use?+

Fawtara uses PINT OM, the Omani specification of the Peppol International invoice model, exchanged as structured XML through an accredited service provider.

Can our system connect directly to the Oman Tax Authority?+

No. Under the five-corner model, e-invoices travel through an accredited service provider, which delivers them to the buyer and passes the tax data to the OTA.

How long does an integration take?+

It depends on your system, the number of invoice types and the quality of your data. We give you a dated plan after the assessment, working back from your Fawtara phase.
