Word and Excel
Why a Word or Excel template is not enough
Making an invoice in a word processor or spreadsheet and printing it does not meet the e-invoicing requirements; it has to be generated by a compliant electronic solution. Photographing or scanning a paper invoice does not make it an e-invoice either.
Phase two is a structured file
In the integration phase the invoice is an XML file following ZATCA's requirements based on UBL 2.1, not a hand-formatted document.
A tax invoice is cleared before it is shared
A business-to-business tax invoice is sent to the Fatoora platform for validation before it is shared with the buyer; a simplified one is reported within 24 hours.
The QR carries the stamp
In phase two the QR code carries the invoice hash, its signature and the public key — elements a template cannot produce.
Excel is still useful
Preparing data in Excel and importing it into a compliant system is a different matter — and WonderFatoora imports your past sales, purchases and opening balances from Excel.

Tax invoice template FAQ
No. Making an invoice in a word processor or spreadsheet and printing it does not meet the e-invoicing requirements; it has to be generated by a compliant electronic solution. You can use Excel to prepare data you import into a compliant system, such as past sales and purchases.
A tax invoice is usually used between businesses and carries the buyer's full details; a simplified one is usually used for sales to individuals, with fewer details. The choice depends on the supply and the customer, not on the name of the activity.
