What is e-Invoice Solution?

Egyptian law requires every business to submit digitally signed invoices to the Tax Authority (ETA) for each commercial transaction. Spirit e-Invoice connects your existing business system to ETA automatically — whether you run SAP or any other platform — handling the signing, submission, and status tracking on your behalf. Your team stops managing compliance manually and starts focusing on what matters.

Built for every ETA-registered business

The ETA e-invoicing mandate applies to all registered businesses in Egypt, across every sector — manufacturing, FMCG, pharmaceutical, retail, automotive, wholesale, and beyond. If your organization issues commercial invoices, this solution is for you.

The problem with manual ETA compliance

Bridging the gap between your business system and the Egyptian Tax Authority manually creates errors, delays, and daily compliance risk.

  • Your ERP does not talk to the Egyptian Tax Authority — and bridging that gap manually means errors, delays, and compliance risk every single day.
  • Submitting a compliant invoice to ETA involves digital certificates, encrypted signing, and secure authentication — complexity that finance teams should not have to manage by hand.
  • Tracking which invoices were accepted, which were rejected, and which need to be cancelled — across hundreds or thousands of documents per month — is unmanageable without a dedicated system.
  • Building a custom integration between your business system and ETA means months of development, ongoing maintenance, and the constant risk of falling out of compliance when ETA requirements change.
  • Month-end peaks and high invoice volumes overwhelm manual submission workflows, leading to missed deadlines and potential penalties that a simple process change cannot fix.
  • Without a centralized system, enforcing consistent rules across document types, business units, and user roles is impossible — and audit trails become an afterthought rather than a built-in safeguard.

Spirit e-Invoice takes care of the entire journey — from pulling data out of your business system to delivering a signed, accepted invoice to the Tax Authority — so your team never has to touch it.

Key Features

Works With SAP Out of the Box

Connects directly to SAP ERP to pull invoice data automatically — no manual exports, no copy-paste, no re-entry errors.

Open API for Any Business System

Not on SAP? Any ERP, accounting platform, or custom application can send invoice data to Spirit e-Invoice through a simple API call and let the system handle the rest.

Automatic Digital Signing

Every invoice is digitally signed using a certified hardware security token before submission — meeting ETA's legal requirements without any manual involvement from your team.

Real-Time ETA Submission

Invoices are submitted to the Tax Authority the moment they are ready, with live status updates — accepted, rejected, or pending — visible in a single dashboard.

Bulk Upload and Batch Scheduling

Process large volumes of invoices in one go or on a schedule — ideal for businesses with high transaction counts or end-of-period submission runs.

Document Download and Storage

Retrieve signed invoices and official Tax Authority PDFs directly from ETA and store them in one place — always available for audits, disputes, or internal records.

Flexible Login Options

Supports Microsoft Azure AD, corporate directory (LDAP/Active Directory), and local user accounts — each option can be enabled or disabled based on your IT environment.

Permissions and Full Audit Trail

Control who can do what by role, document type, and business unit. Every action — submission, cancellation, download — is logged with the user and timestamp.

Business Outcomes

01

Works with what you already have

Whether you run SAP, another ERP, or a custom system, Spirit e-Invoice connects without replacing your existing technology.

02

Zero manual effort per invoice

Data flows from your system to ETA automatically — no re-entry, no manual uploads, no chasing confirmation emails.

03

Always compliant, always on time

Invoices are signed and submitted in real time, keeping your business ahead of Tax Authority deadlines at any volume.

04

No custom development required

The built-in API eliminates the need to build and maintain your own ETA integration — saving months of engineering effort and ongoing maintenance cost.

05

One place for all your invoices

Every submitted document, ETA response, and signed PDF is stored and searchable in one system — always audit-ready.

How it connects to SAP (and beyond)

Spirit e-Invoice works in two modes. With SAP, it pulls invoice data directly from your SAP system, signs and submits to ETA, and writes the result back. Without SAP, your team or system sends invoice data through the Spirit e-Invoice API, and the solution handles everything from there: signing, submission, status tracking, and document storage. Both modes are fully supported and production-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need SAP to use e-Invoice Solution?+

No — while it connects directly to SAP ERP (ECC 6.0 or S/4HANA) out of the box, businesses on any other ERP, accounting platform, or custom system can integrate through the Spirit e-Invoice API instead.

How are invoices digitally signed for ETA compliance?+

Every invoice is signed using a certified hardware security token before submission, meeting ETA's legal signing requirements automatically — no manual certificate handling by your team.

Can we submit invoices in bulk, or only one at a time?+

Both — the system supports bulk upload and batch scheduling for high-volume or end-of-period submission runs, alongside real-time individual submission.

How do we know if an invoice was accepted or rejected by ETA?+

Live status updates — accepted, rejected, or pending — are visible in a single dashboard, with signed invoices and official Tax Authority PDFs available for download and storage.

Does this require an internet connection?+

Yes — an active connection to the ETA platform is required for submission, since invoices are validated and confirmed in real time by the Tax Authority.

What login/authentication methods are supported?+

Microsoft Azure AD, corporate directory (LDAP/Active Directory), and local user accounts are all supported, and each can be enabled or disabled based on your IT environment.

Which industries need to comply with ETA e-invoicing?+

All ETA-registered businesses in Egypt across every sector — manufacturing, FMCG, pharmaceutical, retail, automotive, and wholesale/distribution all fall under the mandate.

What happens to an invoice that needs to be cancelled after submission?+

Cancellations are tracked and logged within the same audit trail as submissions, so every action — submit, cancel, download — is recorded with the user and timestamp for compliance purposes.
