UUID
المعرف الفريد العالمي
📖 Definition
Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit identifier used to uniquely identify each invoice in the ZATCA e-invoicing system. Version 4 (random) UUIDs are required and must never be reused.
In everyday Saudi accounting work, uuid matters because it affects invoice accuracy, financial reporting, tax filing, or ZATCA compliance depending on the transaction.
