Section titled “Related pages”Frequently asked questions
Which tax authority is supported?
FBR Digital Invoicing in Pakistan. Other countries can be added later.
Does FBR reporting slow down the till?
No. The sale is saved first; reporting happens right after in the background, so the till never waits or fails because of FBR.
What is printed on the receipt?
The FBR Digital Invoicing logo, the QR code and the FBR invoice number on every invoice design. Until FBR accepts it, the receipt says FBR invoice no.: pending. In sandbox mode it says Sandbox - not a legal invoice.
What do I need from FBR?
A sandbox token from PRAL to test, then the production token after FBR approves your sandbox tests. Enter both in Settings › Tax authority and choose the mode.
What happens to returns?
Each new returned quantity is sent as a note against the original FBR invoice, after the original sale was accepted.
A sale was rejected. What do I do?
Open Reports › Tax authority submissions, read the error and the hint, fix the product or customer data (for example the HS code), then Resubmit.
Can I cancel an accepted FBR invoice?
No. FBR cannot cancel an accepted invoice; make a sales return instead.
