E-invoicing guide · Business Central
UAE e-invoicing with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Business Central usually sits inside a wider Microsoft setup with a partner, extensions and often Dynamics or another CRM. Plan e-invoicing as a small project with that partner, not as a setting.
- Keep your current software
- Fixed-fee readiness review
- Tested before your deadline

The route
Getting Business Central ready, step by step.
- Ask your Microsoft partner which UAE e-invoicing extension or provider connector they support.
- Confirm the accredited provider on the Ministry register and agree the testing plan.
- Map customers, dimensions, taxes and credit notes to the required fields.
- Test in a sandbox company during the pilot, including rejections and corrections.
Your CRM and customer data
Where most rejected invoices start.
If sales run in Dynamics 365 Sales or another CRM, agree which system owns the customer’s legal and tax details, and sync them one way.
Problems we see most
- Extensions that conflict with existing customisations.
- Sandbox environments that don’t match production.
