- FBR invoice number and QR code on every invoice
- Works with your existing ERP or POS
- Sandbox testing and production go-live support
Who it's for
Who needs FBR integration?
FBR requires real-time reporting of invoices from a growing range of businesses. Typical cases include:
- Sales-tax-registered manufacturers, importers, distributors and wholesalers issuing sales tax invoices
- Tier-1 retailers required to integrate their point-of-sale systems with FBR
- Businesses selling to government bodies or large companies that require FBR-verified invoices
- Companies moving from manual invoicing to an ERP and wanting compliance built in
The risks of not complying
Non-compliance can affect your business well beyond a single fine:
Penalties
FBR can impose financial penalties for failing to integrate or for issuing invoices outside the system. [VERIFY CURRENT PENALTY AMOUNTS]
Business disruption
Persistent non-compliance by integrated retailers can lead to enforcement action, including sealing of premises.
Lost input tax
Your customers may be unable to claim input tax on invoices that are not reported to FBR, which puts sales at risk.
Audit exposure
Gaps between your books and FBR records invite scrutiny and time-consuming reconciliations.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need to replace our current software?
Usually not. We integrate your existing ERP, accounting or POS system with FBR. If your system cannot be integrated, we provide a simple portal for issuing compliant invoices.
What appears on the invoice after integration?
Each invoice shows the FBR-issued invoice number and a QR code that customers can use to verify it.
What happens if the internet or FBR's service is down?
Our integration queues invoices and submits them automatically when the connection returns, with alerts if anything needs attention.
How long does integration take?
Most integrations go live in 2 to 4 weeks, including sandbox testing. Complex multi-branch setups may take longer.
Do you support multiple branches and POS counters?
Yes. We configure each branch and counter and provide central monitoring of invoice submissions.
