How 1flux works as UAE e-invoicing software
1flux supports UAE e-invoicing under the Federal Tax Authority’s programme, ready for the 2027 go-live dates.
You don’t run a second system for compliance. The sales invoice your finance team posts in 1flux is the invoice e-invoicing works from, so the figures on the e-invoice, in the ledger and in your receivables are the same figures.
E-invoicing is one step in the flow from the customer’s PO to the payment: quotation, sales order, delivery note, sales invoice, e-invoice, customer payment. Every step hands its lines to the next, and every posting step writes its own journal.
- Sales order (SO-2026-0042) . Nothing posts.
- Delivery note . Posts Dr COGS , Cr Inventory.
- Sales invoice . Posts Dr AR , Cr Revenue, VAT.
- Customer payment . Posts Dr Bank , Cr AR.
When does your UAE company go live?
The UAE mandate is phased by revenue under Ministerial Decision No. 244 of 2025, as amended by No. 66 of 2026. 1flux is ready for the 2027 go-live dates.
| Who | Goes live |
|---|---|
| Pilot and voluntary adoption | From 1 July 2026 |
| Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more | 1 January 2027 |
| Businesses with revenue under AED 50 million | 1 July 2027 |
| Government entities | 1 October 2027 |
Revenue means the gross income in your most recent accounting period, from your financial statements. Business-to-consumer transactions are excluded for now. For scope, exclusions and what the decisions require, read our guide to the UAE e-invoicing mandate.
Your UAE company's registrations, on its profile
When you create a UAE legal entity in 1flux, its country pack sets the currency to AED, seeds the UAE VAT codes and asks for the registrations UAE documents carry:
- VAT tax registration number (TRN), corporate tax TRN and trade licence;
- Arabic legal name and Arabic address;
- logo, signatory and default bank details with IBAN and SWIFT.
Issued quotations freeze these details at the moment they’re issued, so a later change to the profile never rewrites a document a customer already holds.

- Licensing authority / free zone: DET.
- VAT registration number (TRN): 100000000000003.

VAT at 5%, applied line by line
1flux seeds UAE VAT codes when you create the entity: Input VAT 5%, Output VAT 5% and Zero-rated. They apply per line with dated rates, so earlier documents keep the rate they were issued at.
- Each item carries its own inward and outward tax code.
- Quotations, sales orders, invoices and purchase orders calculate VAT per line.
- Sales invoices post output VAT and purchase invoices post input VAT, each to its own account.
1flux prepares your UAE VAT return from the input and output VAT already posted, from the same invoices as your e-invoices.

- Settings → Catalog → Taxes, for a UAE legal entity (AE · AED).
- VAT5-OUT: Output VAT 5%, outward, 5%, the default for its direction.
- VAT5-IN: Input VAT 5%, inward, 5%, the default for its direction.
- ZERO: Zero-rated, outward, 0%.
- Each code keeps its rate history. "Add effective rate" closes the previous rate on a date.
Invoices built from delivered goods, posted automatically
In 1flux, a UAE sales invoice starts from what actually left the warehouse:
- Delivery note: the warehouse dispatches in full or in part, recording the vehicle and driver. Stock goes down and cost of goods sold posts.
- Sales invoice: finance invoices the delivered quantities, with partial invoicing and VAT per line at the invoice-date rate. The receivable, revenue and output VAT post automatically.
- E-invoice: the same invoice is issued as an e-invoice under the UAE rules.
- Customer payment: one payment can settle several invoices, and the receivable clears.
Follow the whole journey in our quote-to-cash guide.

Sell in any currency, with exchange differences posted
UAE traders invoice customers in AED, USD, EUR and the currencies of their Gulf neighbours. In 1flux, each sales invoice can be in any currency, with the exchange rate stored on the invoice, including three-decimal currencies such as KWD, BHD and OMR.
When the customer pays at a different rate, 1flux posts the realised exchange gain or loss automatically, so your AED books stay right without a manual journal.

Run your UAE and Saudi companies side by side
A UAE company and a Saudi company sit in one 1flux workspace, each with its own currency, registrations, letterhead, numbering, warehouses and books. The entity switcher shows where you are, for example AE · AED.
E-invoicing follows the entity, so your UAE company’s invoices are handled for the UAE programme. Read more about running several companies in 1flux.

Is 1flux ready for UAE e-invoicing in 2027?
Yes. 1flux supports UAE e-invoicing under the Federal Tax Authority's programme, ready for the 2027 go-live dates: 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more, and 1 July 2027 for others. E-invoicing is part of the sales flow in 1flux, so the invoice your finance team posts is the one e-invoicing works from.
Does the e-invoice come from the invoice for delivered goods?
Yes. Your UAE team invoices what the warehouse actually dispatched: 1flux builds the sales invoice from the delivery notes, invoices part-shipped orders in parts and invoices services without a delivery. That invoice posts the receivable, revenue and 5% output VAT, and e-invoicing works from it, so the e-invoice and the ledger show the same figures.
Which UAE registrations does 1flux keep?
1flux keeps your UAE company's VAT TRN, corporate tax TRN and trade licence on its legal entity profile, alongside its Arabic legal name, Arabic address, logo, signatory and bank details. Issued quotations freeze those details at the moment they're issued, so a later change to the profile doesn't rewrite documents already sent to customers.
Does 1flux apply UAE VAT at 5%?
Yes. When you create a UAE legal entity, 1flux seeds Input VAT 5%, Output VAT 5% and Zero-rated tax codes. Each item carries its own tax codes, and quotations, sales orders and invoices calculate VAT per line with dated rates. Sales invoices post output VAT and purchase invoices post input VAT, each to its own account.
Does 1flux handle invoices in foreign currencies?
Yes. A 1flux sales invoice can be in any currency, with the exchange rate stored on the invoice, including three-decimal currencies such as KWD, BHD and OMR. When the customer pays at a different rate, 1flux posts the realised exchange gain or loss automatically, so your AED books stay right without a manual journal.
Does 1flux prepare the UAE VAT return?
Yes. 1flux prepares VAT returns for the UAE and Saudi Arabia from the input and output VAT already posted. For your UAE company, the return starts from the same sales and purchase invoices as your e-invoices and your ledger, so the quarter's output and input VAT already agree before finance begins.
Can 1flux run a UAE and a Saudi company in one workspace?
Yes. A UAE company and a Saudi company sit in one 1flux workspace as separate legal entities, each with its own currency, registrations, letterhead, numbering, warehouses and books. E-invoicing follows the entity, so your UAE company's invoices are handled for the UAE programme. People can be limited to the companies they work for when you invite them.
Can a UAE company keep Arabic names in 1flux?
Yes. A UAE legal entity in 1flux holds its Arabic legal name and Arabic address, and customer, supplier and item names in Arabic display correctly throughout, with Arabic-aware item search. Quotations print Arabic text with correct shaping, so a customer in Dubai or Abu Dhabi can receive an Arabic and English quotation designed in the document designer.
