Zatca Simulation portal testing


The Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has recently informed taxpayers about establishing a new "Fatoora simulation portal" (FSP) which will be available by 27 December 2022. The FSP will be a testing environment, a replica of the ZATCA's Fatoora Portal, aimed at enabling the taxpayers to test and experience the end-to-end e-invoicing journey, including onboarding an IT system, clearance and reporting of e-invoices and related notes. 

FATOORA Simulation portal is an additional optional tool for end-to-end functional testing for taxpayers.

The simulation portal is a replica of the live Fatoora portal which allows Phase 2 – wave 1 companies to further test, identify defects, reduce flaws, and increase the overall quality of their respective e-Invoicing systems in preparation for Go-Live.

This testing environment is intended to provide taxpayers with a complete e-Invoicing experience, similar to the live portal’s functionalities. This includes device onboarding, e-Invoice reporting and clearance, visibility on document statistics/report, and renewal of CSID.

suppose if you are testing with one db so your EGS is one so enter number 1, generate otp for device.

that code will be generated for EGS unit
