UAE e-invoicing Phase 1 goes live on 1 January 2027. Check your invoices free
Industries

Every industry orders differently. The mandate is the same.

See what your customers' POs look like to us, where they break under PINT AE, and what Orbaura does about it.

Food & Beverage

Hundreds of small repeat orders, entered clean.

Food and beverage POs arrive as WhatsApp messages, photos and short emails, often saying “same as last week”, with units like ctn, cs or tray.

Where it breaks
Customer units like “ctn” aren't valid PINT AE unit codes
Many small trade customers means many missing or wrong TRNs
Volume makes manual re-keying the bottleneck
What Orbaura does
“The usual” resolves to the customer's last order, line by line
Each customer unit is mapped to the right code once, then remembered
Sales to consumers are out of scope; sales to supermarkets, hotels and restaurants are in
Incoming· example
AW
WhatsApp·Al Waha Supermarkets

Draft orderMatched
✓Full cream milk 1L60CT
✓Laban 500ml40CT

“ctn” mapped to unit code CT
Ready for SaraOdoo
Auto Parts

Exact part numbers. No transpositions. No missing TRNs.

Garages and workshops order by WhatsApp, often with a photo and no company details. One swapped digit sends the wrong part and starts a credit note.

Where it breaks
A B2B e-invoice can't be issued correctly without the buyer's TRN or TIN
OE and aftermarket numbers get mixed up
Exports to the GCC and Africa need the export flag and zero rate
What Orbaura does
Buyers found by phone number or name, and flagged if they have no TRN on file
Part numbers checked against your item master, with near-misses sent to a person
Export lines flagged and taxed correctly before the invoice
Incoming· example

Ready for RaniaTally
Building Materials

BOQs and staged deliveries, every line matched.

Building materials orders arrive as BOQ spreadsheets with dozens of lines, in tonnes, bags and pieces, delivered to site in several drops and invoiced in stages.

Where it breaks
Each partial invoice still needs complete PINT AE data
Contracts billed over time may need the continuous supply flag
Project buyers in free zones or government entities change the flags and deadline
What Orbaura does
Multi-tab BOQs read into one sales order with every line matched
Continuous supply and free zone flags set from the customer record
Deliveries split across drops without re-keying
Incoming· example
GR
·Gulf Ridge Contracting
BOQ_Tower-B.xlsx · 46 lines · deliver in 3 drops

Continuous supply flag set for staged delivery
Ready for FaisalBusiness Central
Packaging & Plastics

Rolls, kilos and per-1,000 pricing, converted correctly.

Packaging and plastics customers order by weight, by roll or per 1,000 pieces, and most orders repeat on a schedule.

Where it breaks
Every line needs a quantity and a unit code that agrees with the price
Hand conversion between units is a common source of rejections
Long-running supply contracts may need the continuous supply flag
What Orbaura does
Customer units converted into the unit your ERP sells in, price kept consistent
Standing repeat orders drafted and waiting for one approval
Resin and material lines matched to the right item codes
Incoming· example

Electronics

Part numbers exact. Exports flagged. Quotes out fast.

Electronics distributors handle long part lists, re-exports from Jebel Ali and other zones, and POs that mix local and export lines.

Where it breaks
One wrong character in a part number ships the wrong item
Re-exports need the export flag and the right zero-rated category
Mixed local and export lines on one PO
What Orbaura does
Exact matching against your item master, near-misses confirmed by a person
Local and export lines split and taxed correctly
RFQs read from spreadsheets as well as PDFs
Incoming· example
MT
·Muscat Tech Trading
Order for our Muscat warehouse, ship from Jebel Ali
Draft orderMatched
✓LED panel 60×60 40W200EA
✓LED driver 40W200EA
Export flag and zero rate set: ships to Oman
Ready for HassanNetSuite
Cosmetics & Personal Care

Every SKU and shade matched, every time.

Shades, sizes and pack variants make cosmetics POs easy to mis-key, and many distributors trade from a free zone.

Where it breaks
Shade 214 and shade 241 are one keystroke apart
Free zone sales need the free-zone flag set correctly
Free samples may count as a deemed supply, with its own flag
What Orbaura does
Matching by customer item code, description and order history
When two SKUs are equally likely, it asks instead of guessing
Retailer portal and EDI orders added as an extra channel
Incoming· example
BB
Portal·Bloom Beauty Retail
Retailer portal order #55120 · 3 SKUs
Draft orderMatched
✓Matte lipstick, shade 214120EA
✓Matte lipstick, shade 216120EA
✓Vitamin C serum 30 ml80EA
Free zone flag set from the selling entity
Ready for LaylaZoho Books
Pharma & Medical

Long POs, mixed tax rates, nothing missed.

Hospital, clinic and pharmacy POs are long, and one order often mixes zero-rated medicines with standard-rated supplies.

Where it breaks
Tax category must be right on every line, not once per order
Batch and expiry requests get lost in re-keying
Government hospitals are business-to-government sales, which are in scope
What Orbaura does
Each line's tax category and rate carried from the item master
Batch and expiry requests kept on the order for the warehouse
Confirm the treatment of specific supplies with your tax adviser
Incoming· example
AS
·Al Shifa Pharmacy Group
Monthly order attached · please confirm expiry dates
Draft orderMatched
✓Paracetamol 500 mg ×24300BX
✓Hand sanitiser 500 ml100EA
✓Nitrile gloves, M50BX
Zero-rated and 5% lines taxed correctly
