What FBR POS integration means
The Federal Board of Revenue requires certain retailers and other notified businesses in Pakistan to connect their point-of-sale systems to FBR so that sales are reported in real time. Each reported invoice receives an FBR invoice number, and the printed receipt carries that number together with a QR code the customer can verify.
Rules on who must integrate and how have changed over time. Confirm how they apply to your business with your tax adviser; we handle the technical side.
What we implement
- Integration between your POS or invoicing software and the FBR system
- Receipts printed with the FBR invoice number and QR code
- Correct tax, discount and service-charge data on every invoice
- Handling of refunds, returns and voided sales
- An offline queue so sales continue if the connection drops and are reported once it returns
- Logs and a daily reconciliation report
Odoo and other systems
We integrate Odoo Point of Sale and Odoo invoicing with FBR, and can also connect custom or third-party POS software where it allows integration. If your current POS cannot be integrated, we will explain the options, including moving to Odoo POS.
Testing before go-live
We test with your real products, taxes and receipt layout, covering normal sales, mixed tax rates, discounts, returns and interrupted connectivity. Counter staff are shown what a successful and a pending invoice look like and what to do in each case.
Frequently asked questions
Does my business need FBR POS integration?
That depends on FBR rules for your sector and size. Your tax adviser can confirm; we can then implement what is required.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Sales continue. Invoices are stored locally and reported automatically when the connection returns.
Can you integrate our existing POS?
If it exposes its data or allows extensions, usually yes. We check this before quoting.
