Introduction
Saudi Arabia has officially implemented ZATCA Phase 2, also known as the Integration Phase, in which businesses must connect their ERP systems directly to the Fatoora platform. Companies using Odoo now need to comply with the ZATCA Phase 2 Odoo rules to avoid penalties and ensure that every invoice is cleared or reported in real time.
This blog explains how the process works, the key features, and what you can expect in a live demo of Odoo ZATCA integration.
What Is ZATCA Phase 2?
ZATCA Phase 2 requires companies to:
- Generate invoices in XML format
- Send invoices to ZATCA for clearance or reporting
- Include QR codes, UUID, and cryptographic stamps
- Use a secure, integrated ERP system like Odoo
Unlike Phase 1, this stage involves full API communication for Odoo ZATCA e-invoice requirements and complete alignment with Odoo Saudi e-invoicing standards.
The goal is to maintain a ZATCA-compliant Odoo setup for safe and verified invoicing across all businesses.
Key Features of ZATCA Integration in Odoo
1. Real-Time Invoice Clearance
With Odoo ERP ZATCA Phase 2, invoices are instantly validated through government servers. Standard invoices are cleared immediately, while simplified invoices are reported within 24 hours. This covers the expected real-time flow from the Odoo Fatoora integration and ensures smooth Odoo E-invoicing Phase 2 operations.
2. QR Code on Every Invoice
Every invoice includes a secure QR code. Users can easily check these details through Odoo ZATCA QR code invoice support and official scanning tools.
3. XML Invoice Generation
Odoo generates complete XML files that comply with all compliance rules, ensuring compliance with audit requirements. This matches the structure defined under Odoo invoice XML ZATCA specifications.
4. UUID & Cryptographic Stamp
Each invoice is stamped with a cryptographic signature and a UUID to guarantee authenticity and prevent tampering. These validations align with the expected checks from the Odoo invoice clearance API in Saudi Arabia.
5. EGS Device & API Integration
ZATCA Phase 2 requires a backend system that links via an EGS device, which is supported by ZATCA EGS integration with Odoo.
6. Plugin & Reporting Support
Businesses benefit from add-ons such as the Odoo ZATCA Phase 2 plugin, which automates approvals, markings, and readiness checks. Audits are easier with Odoo ZATCA's built-in reporting features.
7. Automated QR Stamp Generation
All invoices include cryptographic data generated via ZATCA QR code in Odoo, ensuring full compliance with national regulations.
8. Complete KSA Compliance
The system fully supports Odoo Phase 2 compliance in KSA, covering VAT, QR codes, invoice types, reporting timelines, and electronic stamping.
9. POS Integration for Retail
