Generating e-Invoices and printing

This page details how to generate and print e-Invoices from the NCR-Aloha PoS terminal

The process of generating an invoice on the NCR Aloha Fiscal manager does not change after the installation of the ClearTax offline e-Invoice application. The steps to capture the order from the customer and closing the check remains the same. e-Invoice generation would be taken care by the ClearTax offline application in the background and submitted to ZATCA.

Step 1: Capturing the order

The cashier at the counter will capture the details of all the items requested by the buyer. All items would be selected on the NCR Aloha Fiscal manager

Step 2: Apply an promotions or discounts

If the buyer is eligible for any promotions or discounts then apply them to the bill of the buyer.

Step 3: Finalise and select payment method

The order would be finalised by the cashier and the payment method would be selected.

Step 4: Checkout and print

The cashier will click on 'Checkout' to generate the print of the invoice.

Step 5: Generation of invoice copy with QR code

Once the cashier selects 'Checkout' a print of the invoice would be generated. This print generated would be a copy of the e-Invoice generated by the ClearTax offline application as per the ZATCA guidelines. This can be shared with the buyer and they can verify the e-Invoice by scanning the QR code using the ZATCA VAT app.

In the background the same e-Invoice would be submitted to ZATCA in xml format. This will be done in batches that are executed every 5 mins to pick all new invoices that have been generated.
