Enter your company registration details, tax information, and VAT number, then generate CSR.
From CSR, create Compliance CSID using OTP and validate CSID.
Generate Production CSID from validated Compliance CSID.
When your Production CSID is about to expire or has expired, follow these steps to renew it:
-
Create a New ZATCA CSR
- Go to ZATCA CSR Settings
- Duplicate the original CSR you are currently using
- Generate new configuration for the duplicated CSR
-
Create Compliance CSID from New CSR
- Create a new Compliance CSID using the CSR you just created
- Follow the same process as Step 1.2 above
-
Enable Renewal Mode
- In the Compliance CSID document, tick the checkbox "Renew Production CSID"
- A field will appear to select the Production CSID you want to renew
- Pick the Production CSID from the displayed field
-
Get Renewal OTP from Fatoora Portal
- Go to the Fatoora portal
- Navigate to the "Renewal CSID" page
- Generate a new OTP for renewal
- Important: OTPs expire quickly (usually within 5-10 minutes), so generate it right before you need it
-
Enter OTP and Renew
- Enter the OTP you just generated in the OTP field of the Compliance CSID document
- Save the document
- Click the "Renew Production CSID" button
Scenario 1: Direct Renewal (Success) If the renewal is successful, you will see a success message indicating that your Production CSID has been renewed and updated automatically. No further action is required - you can continue using your Production CSID for invoice clearance and reporting immediately.
Scenario 2: Renewal with Compliance Check Required Sometimes, when you click "Renew Production CSID", you may see a status message showing "NOT_COMPLIANT". This means:
-
Your Compliance CSID has been renewed successfully - The system has updated your Compliance CSID with new credentials.
-
You need to complete compliance checks - Before you can use the renewed credentials, ZATCA requires you to validate your invoices through compliance testing.
-
Generate a new Production CSID - After completing the compliance checks, you need to generate a new Production CSID from the renewed Compliance CSID (similar to Step 1.3 above).
-
Use the new Production CSID - Once the new Production CSID is generated, update your Company Settings to use this new Production CSID for all future invoice submissions.
Important Notes:
- Make sure you have a fresh OTP from the Fatoora portal before starting the renewal process. OTPs expire quickly (usually within 5-10 minutes), so generate it right before you need it.
- Ensure the OTP is generated from the same environment (Simulation or Production) that matches your ZATCA Environment setting.
- The VAT number used to generate the OTP must match the VAT number in your CSR Settings.
- If you see "Invalid-OTP" error, generate a new OTP from the Fatoora portal and try again immediately.
i. Enable ZATCA E-Invoicing Activates ZATCA Phase 2 integration for the company. Once enabled, all invoices will be validated according to ZATCA’s e-invoicing rules.
ii. ZATCA Phase Select which ZATCA Phase applies to your company. For ongoing compliance, choose ZATCA Phase 2.
iii. Production CSID (Phase 2 Only)
Enter the Production CSID that contains your ZATCA certificate.
In sandbox/testing mode, this field may display Sandbox.
In production, you must configure the official Production CSID to ensure invoices are legally valid.
iv. Enforce Date Validation
Ensures that invoice dates strictly follow ZATCA’s requirements. Recommended to keep this enabled to avoid ZATCA fines caused by incorrect or backdated entries.
v. Enable Multi-Sales Invoice on Credit Note Not directly tied to ZATCA compliance. Useful if you want to issue a single credit note that applies to multiple sales invoices. Example: If a customer returns goods from different invoices, you can generate one consolidated credit note.
vi. Enable Sales Retention Designed for project-based billing. Example: You bill 75% now and retain 25% until project completion. With this option enabled, ERPNext allows entry of retention amounts in sales invoices. Note for ZATCA: The retention is still included in the invoice total sent to ZATCA, assuming the full project value is invoiced.

B2C Auto Sales Submission Enabled: Switches from real-time submission to batch submission for high-volume retail invoices.
