UAE field requirements

Use this page to map the UAE information your source system supplies to Complyance. It covers the customer-facing fields and choices that affect UAE document generation. General information such as parties, line items, totals, payment details, and supporting documents remains part of the common integration contract and is not repeated here.

Select the UAE Document Type

Field label	Format	Requirement	Available choices	Purpose
Document Type	Composed selection	Required	Tax Invoice + Ordinary; Tax Credit Note + Ordinary; Tax Invoice + Out of Scope; Tax Credit Note + Out of Scope; Tax Invoice + Self-Billed; Tax Credit Note + Self-Billed	Defines the complete UAE document outcome, official document type code, and validation profile. See UAE document type composition.

For UAE, Document Type combines the base with a variant when applicable and any applicable modifiers. The UAE does not use a separate document variant. Ordinary, Out of Scope, and Self-Billed are part of the complete Document Type selection, so clients make one composed selection.

A Tax Point Date may be supplied where applicable, but a Tax Point Date Code is not available because PINT AE term IBT-008 has cardinality 0..0 for ordinary invoices and credit notes and for self-billed invoices and credit notes.

UAE fields clients may need to supply

Field label	Format	Applies to	Requirement or condition	Client guidance
Document Number	Text	All UAE documents	Required	Supply your unique document identifier. It corresponds to PINT AE term IBT-001.
Issue Date	Date	All UAE documents	Required	Supply the document issue date.
Issue Time	Time	All UAE documents	Optional	Supply it when your integration records the issue time.
Document Currency	ISO 4217 currency	All UAE documents	Required	Choose a currency accepted by the applicable PINT AE transaction.
Preceding Invoice Reference	Text	Ordinary credit notes, codes `381` and `81`	Required unless the Credit Note Reason is Volume Discount	Reference the preceding invoice. See IBR-055-AE. The current self-billing rule does not make the same requirement for code `261`.
Credit Note Reason	Selection	Ordinary and self-billed credit notes, codes `381`, `81`, and `261`	Required exactly once	Choose a reason from UAE allowed values and code lists. See ordinary BTAE-03 and self-billing BTAE-03.
Billing Frequency	Selection	Invoice or credit note	Conditional	When Other is selected, also provide an invoice note. See ordinary IBR-160-AE for invoices and credit notes, plus self-billed invoice and credit-note billing-frequency lists.
Item Type	Selection	Each applicable line	Conditional	Choose Goods, Services, or Both. The related classification or activity information depends on the selected value. See self-billed invoice and credit-note item-type lists where applicable.
Reverse Charge Goods Type	Selection	Each reverse-charge line	Required when reverse charge applies	Choose the type that describes the goods on the line.
Net Unit Price	Decimal	Each line	Required	Unit price after any item-price discount and before tax.
Gross Unit Price	Decimal	Each line	Required	Unit price before any item-price discount and before tax. See ordinary invoice IBT-148 and credit-note IBT-148.
Tax Point Date	Date	Invoice or credit note	Optional where applicable	Supply the date on which VAT becomes chargeable when it differs from the issue date and the selected transaction permits it.

Official field meaning and cardinality come from the transaction-specific PINT AE semantic model. Your Complyance mapping experience presents these fields using the labels above.

Route-specific checks

Ordinary invoice and credit note

Choose Tax Invoice + Ordinary or Tax Credit Note + Ordinary. For an ordinary credit note, supply the Credit Note Reason and the Preceding Invoice Reference unless the reason is Volume Discount.

Out-of-scope invoice and credit note

Choose Tax Invoice + Out of Scope or Tax Credit Note + Out of Scope. VAT categories at both document and line level must be Exempt, Outside Scope, or Zero Rated. Do not combine an out-of-scope selection with Self-Billed, Deemed Supply, Margin Scheme, Summary Invoice, Reverse Charge, or Export.

Self-billed invoice and credit note

Choose Tax Invoice + Self-Billed or Tax Credit Note + Self-Billed. These selections use the separate PINT AE Self-Billing profile and cannot also be out of scope.

For available choices and composition compatibility, continue with UAE allowed values and code lists and UAE document type composition. For rejected documents, see UAE validation and troubleshooting.
