Your monthly sales tax return compiles itself.

Is Your Business Struggling With FBR Compliance?

FBR’s digital invoicing mandate has fundamentally changed what Pakistani businesses must do every time they issue an invoice. If any of the following sounds familiar — your current system is putting your business at risk.

MantechIT's FBR Digital Invoicing Integration — How It Works

Our FBR integration connects your Odoo ERP directly to FBR’s IRIS API. The moment you confirm an invoice in Odoo — it transmits to FBR automatically, receives a unique FBR number, and displays a QR code on your invoice PDF. Your team does nothing extra.

Invoice Confirmed in Odoo

Your team creates and confirms a sales invoice in Odoo as normal. No extra steps. No portal login. No manual data entry.

Automatic IRIS Transmission

Odoo instantly formats the invoice in FBR's required schema and transmits to FBR's IRIS API in real time — under 3 seconds. All required fields included: seller NTN, buyer NTN/STRN, tax breakdown per line item, invoice date, sequential invoice number.

FBR Number Received & Stored

FBR's IRIS processes the data and returns a unique FBR invoice number. Odoo stores this number permanently against the invoice — creating an immutable compliance record.

QR Code on Invoice PDF

The FBR invoice number and a scannable QR code appear automatically on the invoice PDF sent to your customer. Your buyer can verify the invoice on FBR's portal instantly.

Monthly Return Auto-Compiled

At month-end, all IRIS-transmitted invoices are available in Odoo's tax reports — categorized by tax type. Your accountant reviews the summary and files. Time taken: under 3 hours
