Reporting
الإبلاغ
📖 Definition
Reporting is the ZATCA submission process for Simplified (B2C) invoices. Unlike clearance, reporting happens after invoice issuance within 24 hours. The invoice is valid immediately upon generation.
In everyday Saudi accounting work, reporting matters because it affects invoice accuracy, financial reporting, tax filing, or ZATCA compliance depending on the transaction.
📖 التعريف بالعربية
الإبلاغ هو عملية تقديم الفواتير المبسطة (للمستهلكين) لزاتكا. على عكس المصادقة، يحدث الإبلاغ بعد إصدار الفاتورة خلال 24 ساعة. الفاتورة صالحة فوراً عند إنشائها.
💡 Example
Retail B2C invoices are generated with QR code immediately, then batch-reported to ZATCA within 24 hours.
فواتير التجزئة للمستهلكين تُنشأ برمز QR فوراً، ثم تُبلغ لزاتكا دفعة واحدة خلال 24 ساعة.
