FBR e-invoicing setup (Pakistan)
Connecting a licensed integrator, validating your first invoice, and handling the 72-hour edit window.
To enable FBR digital invoicing for a Pakistani tenant, you need three things: an active STRN, a licensed-integrator account with a partner of your choice, and an API key from that integrator. The platform is integrator-agnostic; it ships with adapters for the major licensed integrators in the market.
Once the credentials are stored in the admin panel (under Integrations → FBR Digital Invoicing), you can run the validation test. The test posts a sample invoice against the integrator's sandbox, confirms the IRN echo, and verifies that the QR code renders correctly in the preview.
Every posted invoice from that point onwards is transmitted automatically. The FBR status is visible in the invoice detail and in the tax officer's e-invoice queue with columns for status (queued / submitted / cleared / rejected), IRN, and transmitted timestamp.
For amendments inside the 72-hour window, use the invoice's amend action. The platform tracks the window per invoice and disables the action automatically once the window closes, at which point you are routed into the Commissioner-approval workflow instead.
