How Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Works with Flick for UAE E-Invoicing Compliance

How Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Works with Flick for UAE E-Invoicing Compliance

The Federal Tax Authority has made e-invoicing mandatory in the United Arab Emirates starting July 2026, requiring all B2B and B2G invoices to be generated in a structured PINT-AE format and electronically reported to the FTA through an Accredited Service Provider.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC365) is a cloud-based ERP designed for SME businesses to manage all processes in a single integrated platform. Yet it will not generate a PINT-AE invoice or a Tax Data Document and will not submit them to the buyer ASP or the FTA, so a business will need to use an Accredited Service Provider like Flick Network for the UAE e-invoicing.

How Microsoft Business Central Works with Flick Network

Flick’s e-invoicing solution will integrate with your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP, prepare the required documents, and submit them for e-invoicing in the UAE.

Installing the Extension

First, a custom AL Language extension needs to be installed on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and this extension will handle the entire process as it will extract all required invoice data, send it to Flick Network, parse the responses, and store them back in the ERP database.

Data Extraction from Business Central

Once the extension is installed, whenever an invoice is posted the extension will extract all required details from the ERP database such as buyer information, the unique invoice number, issue and supply dates, description of goods or services, quantities, prices, and applicable VAT amounts, and then prepare a JSON file for submission.

Sending JSON Invoice File to Flick Network

The prepared JSON invoice file will be securely transmitted from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to Flick Network through API integration.

Preparation of PINT-AE and TDD

After Flick receives the JSON invoice file, it will check whether all FTA-required invoice data is present, validate the information, generate a PINT-AE invoice for the buyer, and create a Tax Data Document for submission to the UAE Federal Tax Authority.

Submission to Buyer and FTA

Once the required documents are prepared, Flick will submit the PINT-AE invoice to the buyer through the Peppol network and send the Tax Data Document to the UAE Federal Tax Authority.

Receiving and Updating Statuses in Business Central

After submission, the FTA will validate the Tax Data Document and send a response to Flick, while the buyer’s ASP may also return a delivery or acceptance status; Flick’s system will then update these responses in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, so you can view both the buyer status and the FTA response directly within your ERP without switching systems.
