Generating and validating PINT AE documents

What you will be able to do when you finish: turn UAE e-invoicing on and say what each of the three settings it reveals is for, create an ASP account and read what Verified actually means, apply the four-part scope test to any invoice without guessing, produce a PINT AE document both ways — Send & Print and the manual Generate → Validate → Send via ASP path — read a mandatory-field error and fix its cause rather than its symptom, and explain to a colleague why a transmitted e-invoice cannot be changed.

Who this is for. You issue customer invoices in a UAE business, or you own the setup behind the person who does. This is an Intermediate course. It assumes you can post a customer invoice and know what a credit note is; it does not assume you have ever heard of Peppol, UBL or a participant identifier, and it does not assume you have chosen a provider yet.

How to follow along. Every screen, menu label and button named here belongs to the Odoone UAE E-Invoicing module and is quoted from its user guide, so what you read matches what you click. Do all of it in Sandbox — that is the default, and nothing in this course needs a live connection to be worth doing. The neighbouring courses cover what this one leaves alone: course 3.1 is the mandate, the phases, the five-corner model and the penalties, and course 3.3 is transmission, retries and the E-Invoicing Status report. This course is the part in between — how an invoice becomes a valid, archived PINT AE document.
