Once the Access Point receives the invoice, it will convert it into an e-invoice in a structured format (XML) to ensure it meets the requirements set forth by the FTA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Validation of the invoice will then occur. The invoice validation will include verifying that all of the required fields have been filled in and determining whether the data values entered into the fields make sense. An example would be to validate that the tax calculations using the applicable tax rates correctly calculate the total amount due.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the end of the validation process, the invoice will then be sent to the regulatory platform for final invoice validation clearance from the UAE.
