How to Integrate Oracle EBS with Flick for UAE E-Invoicing

How to Integrate Oracle EBS with Flick for UAE E-Invoicing

The United Arab Emirates is moving toward a mandatory e-invoicing system introduced by the Federal Tax Authority to improve tax compliance and reduce fraud. Businesses involved in B2B and B2G transactions must generate invoices in a structured XML format aligned with the PINT AE standard and transmit them in real time through an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) using the Peppol Network to the national e-Billing system**.**

Oracle E-Business Suite (Oracle EBS) is an ERP system that many businesses use to manage core functions but it does not natively support the UAE’s e-invoicing requirements so businesses must integrate it with a compliant e-invoicing solution.

Flick is a Peppol-certified e-invoicing solution that generates structured invoices and validates them based on FTA requirements before submitting them in real time to the FTA’s e-Billing system through the Peppol Network.

In this blog, we will cover how to integrate Oracle EBS with Flick Network, a Peppol certified e-invoicing solution.

Oracle EBS to Flick Integration Process for UAE E-Invoicing

Here is the complete process for integrating Oracle EBS with Flick Network, and our team will help you with the setup so your business can achieve UAE e-invoicing compliance without any effort:

1. Extract Invoice Data from Oracle EBS

Flick begins the process by extracting invoice data from Oracle EBS using PL/SQL packages deployed inside the Oracle database. These packages gather all required invoice details such as buyer information, VAT breakdown, item-level data, and total amounts.

PL/SQL packages are a feature in Oracle databases that group related procedures, functions, and variables into a single unit to efficiently extract, process, and manage data within Oracle applications such as EBS.

2. Generate JSON Request in Oracle EBS

Once the invoice data is extracted, the PLSQL package generates a structured JSON request with all required invoice details, including buyer information, VAT, line items, and totals and sends it to Flick through secure REST API communication using Java deployed in the Oracle Server.

3. Trigger Integration Using Concurrent Program

After the JSON request is ready, businesses trigger the integration in Oracle EBS using a Concurrent Program that sends invoices to Flick manually or automatically.

A Java Concurrent Program in Oracle EBS is used to process and send data to external systems such as Flick.

The process can be triggered in three ways:

1. Manual Execution – Run the Concurrent Program directly from the EBS Concurrent Request screen.
2. Custom Button Trigger – Add a personalized button in the EBS interface to trigger the program on demand.
3. Scheduled Automation – Schedule the Concurrent program for batch or periodic runs to send invoices automatically without manual intervention.

 

4. Flick Converts Data to PINT AE Format

Once Flick receives the JSON request from Oracle EBS, it converts the data into a structured XML that complies with the PINT AE standard after performing validations, which is the UAE‑specific version of Peppol BIS 3.0.

The conversion process includes:

1. Mapping all invoice elements such as buyer details, VAT, line items, totals, and other required data to PINT AE elements.
2. Validating the structure to ensure all mandatory fields are present and meet FTA requirements.
3. Generating a PINT AE-compliant XML file ready for real-time submission to the FTA via the Peppol Network.

 

5. Transmit to FTA via Peppol Network

After Flick generates the e-invoice, it is submitted to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) in real time through the Peppol Network and delivered to the Buyer’s ASP as well.

The Peppol Network is a secure international network for exchanging electronic invoices and other business documents.

Flick is a peppol certified solution, and UAE businesses are required to use an ASP to submit e‑invoices to the Federal Tax Authority.

 

6. Receive FTA Response

After the invoice is submitted to the FTA through the Peppol Network, the FTA validates the e‑invoice by checking the XML structure, TRN, and mandatory fields.

Once processed, Flick receives the response of buyer delivery status and FTA status.

7. Update Oracle EBS with Response

Once Flick receives the response from the FTA and Buyer’s ASP, it updates Oracle EBS with the status in Descriptive Flexfields (DFF), so users can track the e-invoice status directly within Oracle EBS.
