ZATCA Phase 2 integration · QR codes · cryptographic stamps · Fatoora portal · Arabic XML invoices · waved go-live support — Microsoft Solutions Partner with live ZATCA rollouts across the Kingdom.
NOVAZATCA is published by Novasoft FZCO on Microsoft AppSource for Dynamics 365 Business Central and Microsoft Dynamics NAV, with LS Central and LS NAV compatibility. It hooks the standard posting routines, so your AR clerks, cashiers and store managers keep their existing screens.
B2B Standard Tax Invoices and B2C Simplified Tax Invoices are emitted from the same Sales Invoice posting routine. NOVAZATCA picks the right model per buyer and per transaction — clearance for one, reporting for the other.
Every document is serialized to UBL 2.1 with the ZATCA-mandated code lists, totals, VAT lines and seller / buyer identifiers. Schema validation happens before transmission, so Fatoora rarely rejects.
CSR generation, sandbox Compliance CSID, and live Production CSID are driven from a single Fatoora role centre. Renewal reminders sit on the BC home page — no separate spreadsheet of expiry dates.
The 5-field signed QR (seller name, VAT number, timestamp, total, VAT total) is generated locally and embedded in the BC invoice report and POS receipt — ready to scan, online or offline.
Each document links to the SHA-256 hash of the previous one. Break the chain, lose ZATCA compliance — NOVAZATCA persists the chain inside the BC tenant so server moves and tenant migrations are non-events.
Cleared XML, signed QR, ZATCA response payloads and posting evidence are archived under a per-batch UUID for the statutory retention window. Auditor pulls a CSV; you keep working.
The Fatoora portal is the regulator-side surface every Phase 2 invoice must cross. NOVAZATCA handles the round-trip inside the BC tenant so your finance team sees a single status field on each invoice, not a queue of cryptic JSON responses.
The Sales Invoice or Credit Memo posts in Business Central exactly as it does today. The NOVAZATCA extension is the listener.
The document is rendered to UBL 2.1 XML, hashed against the previous chain entry, and stamped with the device’s production CSID.
For B2B / B2G, the signed XML is sent to Fatoora for clearance. For B2C, the QR-bearing receipt is given to the customer immediately and queued for reporting.
ZATCA validates the schema, the VAT calculation, the cryptographic stamp and the chain. A clearance UUID returns within seconds; the BC invoice flips to “Cleared”.
Cleared XML, QR image, Fatoora response payload and the chain pointer are written to the audit archive. 6-year retention is automatic.
The cashier and AR clerk never leave their existing screens. The orchestration is in the extension — not a parallel posting tool.

Novacare 360“In a KSA Business Central tenant that’s already live on Phase 2, the day-2 problem isn’t the XML — it’s straightening out the VAT TRN, the CR number, the buyer master and the per-device certificates so Fatoora doesn’t bounce every third invoice. NOVAZATCA gives finance teams the role centre to see all four at once.”Amit SobtiDirector · Novasoft From the field →

Phase 2 (the Integration phase) requires a UBL 2.1 XML, a cryptographic stamp tied to a Production CSID, a TLV-encoded signed QR code and an unbroken SHA-256 hash chain on every electronic tax invoice and note. B2B / B2G standard invoices must be cleared by the ZATCA Fatoora portal before they are legally valid; B2C simplified invoices are issued first with the signed QR, then reported to Fatoora inside a 24-hour window.
Yes. NOVAZATCA is a Microsoft-certified extension that installs into your live Business Central tenant — online or on-premises. It hooks the standard Sales Invoice, Sales Credit Memo and Sales Prepayment posting routines and emits the ZATCA-compliant UBL 2.1 XML in the background. The cashier and AR clerk keep their existing screens; only Finance sees the new Fatoora role centre.
B2B and B2G use the Clearance model: the standard tax invoice is sent to Fatoora, ZATCA validates and cryptographically stamps it, and only the cleared XML is legally valid to share with the buyer. B2C uses the Reporting model: the simplified tax invoice is generated locally with a signed QR, given to the consumer immediately, and reported to Fatoora within 24 hours. Both models are wired into NOVAZATCA — same posting, different downstream path.
Onboarding has three steps inside the ZATCA Fatoora portal. First, you generate a Certificate Signing Request from NOVAZATCA — it embeds your VAT number, CR number and device identifier. Second, you submit the CSR to Fatoora and receive a Compliance CSID for the sandbox. Third, after passing the compliance suite you exchange the CCSID for a Production CSID and switch the device into live mode. Novasoft drives all three steps from a single Business Central role centre.
Yes. NOVAZATCA is multi-company-aware. Each Business Central company maps to its own VAT registration, CR number and Fatoora device — so a single tenant can run several legal entities at once, each with an independent CSID, hash chain and Fatoora connection. Group reporting rolls up at the BC layer; ZATCA always sees the per-entity feed.
It runs as a four-step parallel-run: Audit, Design, Parallel run, Cut-over. The existing setup keeps issuing cleared and reported invoices while NOVAZATCA is installed, the CSIDs are exchanged and the hash chain is verified against the live one. We then cut over to NOVAZATCA on a chosen close date — no invoice gap, no broken chain, archives merged, and Novacare 360° watching the Fatoora connection from day one.
