Book NowE‑invoicing in the UAE is becoming mandatory for all B2B and B2G transactions by July 2026, so businesses using SAP Business One (SAP B1) must integrate with a Peppol‑certified Accredited Service Provider like Flick Network to submit their e‑invoices to the UAE e‑billing system through the Peppol network.
SAP Business One is an ERP software designed for small and medium‑sized businesses to centralize and automate their core functions, but it cannot natively generate or submit UAE‑compliant e‑invoices to the FTA.
Businesses using SAP B1 need to integrate with a Peppol‑certified Accredited Service Provider like Flick’s e‑invoicing solution, which automatically converts invoices into the required PINT AE format and submits them to the FTA through the Peppol network.
This blog will show you how SAP Business One integrates with Flick’s e‑invoicing solution for UAE e‑invoicing.
The integration between SAP Business One and Flick Network automates your entire UAE e‑invoicing workflow. Below is a step‑by‑step process showing how the integration works:
The first step to integrate SAP Business One with Flick’s e‑invoicing solution is to install the Flick add‑on through SAP’s Add‑on Manager.
An add‑on is a custom software component that is developed using the SAP Business One SDK and often built with C# or .NET which extends the functionality of SAP B1 by integrating external services or automating tasks that the system cannot perform by default.
Once installed, the add‑on can run in normal SAP B1 desktop mode or in SAP B1 dispatcher mode as well.
After the Flick add‑on is installed, it monitors SAP Business One for newly created invoices and automatically detects them as soon as they are generated. It then extracts all the mandatory information for UAE e‑invoicing compliance, including seller and buyer details with TRN, invoice number and issue date, and VAT breakdown with line items. Instead of automatically triggering documents, this can be done using a button click manually or through batch processing options provided in the add-on by Flick Network.
3. Convert Invoice to PINT AE Format
Once the Flick add‑on detects and extracts all invoice data, it sends the data securely to Flick’s e‑invoicing system, where it is converted into the PINT AE XML format, the standard structured format required for UAE e‑invoicing compliance.
After the invoice is converted into the PINT AE XML format, Flick’s e‑invoicing system validates it to ensure all mandatory fields, tax details, and formatting meet UAE e‑invoicing requirements.
Once the invoice passes validation, it is forwarded through the Peppol network and reported to the FTA and delivered to the Buyer’s ASP.
5. Receive and Update FTA Response in SAP B1
After the e‑invoice is delivered to the FTA through the Peppol network, the FTA validates it and sends a real‑time response to Flick.
Flick’s system then updates the invoice status directly in your SAP Business One ERP, where you can view the status instantly of the buyer delivery and FTA status for each invoice without leaving SAP B1.
Flick’s e-invoicing solution seamlessly integrates with SAP Business One and is fully compliant with the FTA’s e-invoicing regulations in the UAE with more than 5 years of global e-invoicing experience:
Fully comply with UAE e‑invoicing requirements for B2B and B2G transactions by automatically generating FTA‑compliant e‑invoices in PINT AE format.
