How Microsoft Dynamics NAV Integrates with Flick Network for UAE E-Invoicing

How Microsoft Dynamics NAV Integrates with Flick Network for UAE E-Invoicing

The United Arab Emirates is making e-invoicing mandatory for all B2B and B2G transactions by July 2026. Under these regulations, businesses must use an FTA-approved Accredited Service Provider to submit invoices to the FTA. Since NAV cannot handle this process on its own, it must be integrated with an ASP like Flick. 

This blog will explain how Microsoft Dynamics NAV integrates with Flick’s e-invoicing solution.

How Microsoft Dynamics NAV Integrates with Flick Network for UAE E-Invoicing

If you’re using Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you need to integrate your ERP with Flick’s e-invoicing solution to generate and submit invoices in line with UAE e-invoicing requirements.

Create an Extension in NAV

Flick will create a custom extension in Microsoft Dynamics NAV using the AL language (or C/AL depending on the version of NAV), which will be responsible for the extraction of invoice data, the validation of mandatory fields, and the secure transmission of JSON payloads to Flick.

Extract Invoice Data from NAV

Once the extension is created in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Flick will extract all the necessary invoice information required for UAE e-invoicing.

This will include supplier and buyer information, the unique invoice number, issue and supply dates, description of goods or services, quantities, prices, and VAT amounts.

Build JSON Payload

After extraction, Flick will build a structured JSON payload that maps NAV fields to Flick’s schema.

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight text-based data format that is widely used to structure and exchange information between systems and it is especially common in API communications.

The JSON payload packages the invoice data with all required information so it can be accurately and securely transmitted to Flick’s API.

Send Data to Flick API

Once the JSON payload is prepared, Flick will securely transmit the JSON payload from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to Flick’s API using authentication keys. 

Flick Converts Data to Required Format

Once the invoice data reaches Flick’s platform, it will be validated against the UAE e-invoicing rules to ensure the presence of all mandatory fields. After the validation, Flick will generate two outputs: a Peppol PINT-AE invoice for delivery on the buyer’s Access Point, and the Tax Document Data (TDD) required by the Federal Tax Authority.

Submit to FTA and Buyer ASP

After the invoice is converted into the PINT-AE invoice and TDD, Flick will automatically deliver each document to its required destination. The PINT-AE invoice will be transmitted to the buyer’s Access Point via the Peppol network, while the TDD will be submitted directly to the Federal Tax Authority.

Receive FTA Response

After the Tax Document Data (TDD) is submitted to the Federal Tax Authority, Flick will receive a response that may show the invoice as accepted, still processing, or rejected with errors.

Update NAV with Response

Once Flick receives the response from the Federal Tax Authority,  it will update Microsoft Dynamics NAV with the invoice status as accepted or rejected. This allows you to easily view and track the compliance status directly within your ERP interface without leaving the system.
