How SQL Accounting Helps Your Business Comply with LHDN E-Invoice Requirements

The guidelines require each e-invoice to include 35 mandatory fields and 20 optional fields, totaling 55 fields that must be completed for a valid e-invoice submission. SQL Account automates this process by storing all the necessary field records, reducing the need for repetitive manual entry.

With SQL Account, you can easily track the status of each e-invoice issued, including whether it has been submitted, validated, marked as invalid, or cancelled. This feature allows you to seamlessly monitor the status of all e-invoices within SQL Account.

SQL Account E-Invoice Features

MyInvois Ready Company Profile

SQL Account enables you to complete your company profile with all the required details for E-Invoice submission. It also identifies any missing information to ensure your profile is MyInvois Ready. Additionally, we now provide access to the LHDN Preprod API for testing purposes.

E-Invoice

Our streamlined invoicing process includes a straightforward E-Invoice submission to MyInvois with just one click. It supports both individual and bulk submissions, and offers real-time submission status along with a 72-hour countdown for any necessary changes.

Consolidated E-Invoice

Certain businesses have the option to submit consolidated E-Invoices once a month. SQL Account offers an easy-to-use interface that allows you to submit multiple invoices as a single consolidated E-Invoice to MyInvois.

Self-Billed E-Invoice

When your suppliers are unable to provide an E-Invoice, you are required to issue self-billed E-Invoices. With SQL Account, you can easily submit any purchase bills as a self-billed E-Invoice to MyInvois with just a click.

Easily integrate supplier transactions into your SQL Account by importing E-Invoices directly from your suppliers. This streamlined process removes the need for manual data entry, ensuring accuracy and saving time. With just a few clicks, you can import all relevant transaction details from the supplier’s E-Invoice, keeping your records current and synced with SQL Account.

Cancelling an E-Invoice

You can cancel an E-Invoice, with a stated reason, within 72 hours of its submission to MyInvois. SQL Account features a countdown timer that indicates which invoices are still eligible for cancellation. This action can be easily performed in SQL Account with just a click.
