Invoice Counter (ICV) **Status:** ✅ Implemented **Location:** `finance/models.py` - Invoice model **Features:** - Sequential counter field (`invoice_counter`) - Tamper-resistant (cannot be reset) - Database indexed for performance - Default value of 1 for new invoices **Code:** ```python invoice_counter = models.PositiveIntegerField( editable=False, db_index=True, default=1, verbose_name=_("Invoice Counter"), help_text=_("Sequential counter per EGS unit, cannot be reset") ) ``` ### 2. Hash Chain (PIH - Previous Invoice Hash) **Status:** ✅ Implemented **Location:** `finance/models.py` - Invoice model **Features:** - SHA-256 hashing algorithm - Current invoice hash (`invoice_hash`) - Previous invoice hash (`previous_invoice_hash`) - Automatic hash generation on save - Links invoices in an unbreakable chain **Code:** ```python def generate_invoice_hash(self): """Generate SHA-256 hash of invoice data.""" hash_data = { 'invoice_number': self.invoice_number, 'invoice_counter': self.invoice_counter, 'issue_date': str(self.issue_date), 'issue_time': str(self.issue_time), 'total': str(self.total), 'tax': str(self.tax), 'patient_id': str(self.patient.id) if self.patient else '', } json_str = json.dumps(hash_data, sort_keys=True) hash_bytes = hashlib.sha256(json_str.encode('utf-8')).digest() return hash_bytes.hex() ``` ### 3. QR Code Generation **Status:** ✅ Implemented **Location:** `finance/models.py` - Invoice model **Features:** - TLV (Tag-Length-Value) encoding - Base64 encoded output - **Phase 1 Fields (5 tags):** 1. Seller's Name 2. VAT Registration Number 3. Timestamp (ISO 8601 format) 4. Invoice Total (with VAT) 5. VAT Total - **Phase 2 Ready (tags 6-9):** 6. Hash of XML invoice 7. ECDSA signature 8. ECDSA public key 9. ECDSA signature of cryptographic stamp's public key **Code:** ```python def generate_qr_code(self): """Generate ZATCA-compliant QR code in TLV format.""" def encode_tlv(tag, value): value_bytes = str(value).encode('utf-8') length = len(value_bytes) return bytes([tag, length]) + value_bytes # Tag 1-5: Phase 1 fields # Tag 6-9: Phase 2 fields (if available) # ... qr_code_base64 = base64.b64encode(tlv_data).decode('utf-8') return qr_code_base64 ``` ### 4. Invoice Type Classification **Status:** ✅ Implemented **Location:** `finance/models.py` - Invoice model **Features:** - 6 invoice types supported: - `STANDARD` - Standard Tax Invoice (B2B) - `SIMPLIFIED` - Simplified Tax Invoice (B2C) - `STANDARD_DEBIT` - Standard Debit Note - `STANDARD_CREDIT` - Standard Credit Note - `SIMPLIFIED_DEBIT` - Simplified Debit Note - `SIMPLIFIED_CREDIT` - Simplified Credit Note **Code:** ```python class InvoiceType(models.TextChoices): STANDARD = 'STANDARD', _('Standard Tax Invoice (B2B)') SIMPLIFIED = 'SIMPLIFIED', _('Simplified Tax Invoice (B2C)') STANDARD_DEBIT = 'STANDARD_DEBIT', _('Standard Debit Note') STANDARD_CREDIT = 'STANDARD_CREDIT', _('Standard Credit Note') SIMPLIFIED_DEBIT = 'SIMPLIFIED_DEBIT', _('Simplified Debit Note') SIMPLIFIED_CREDIT = 'SIMPLIFIED_CREDIT', _('Simplified Credit Note') ``` ### 5. Credit/Debit Note Support **Status:** ✅ Implemented **Location:** `finance/models.py` - Invoice model **Features:** - Billing reference ID field - Billing reference issue date - Helper property to identify credit/debit notes **Code:** ```python billing_reference_id = models.CharField( max_length=50, blank=True, verbose_name=_("Billing Reference ID"), help_text=_("Reference to original invoice for credit/debit notes") ) @property def is_credit_or_debit_note(self): """Check if this is a credit or debit note.""" return self.invoice_type in [ self.InvoiceType.STANDARD_CREDIT, self.InvoiceType.STANDARD_DEBIT, self.InvoiceType.SIMPLIFIED_CREDIT, self.InvoiceType.SIMPLIFIED_DEBIT, ] ``` ## Phase 2: Integration Phase (COMPLETED ✅) ### 1. XML Generation Service (UBL 2.1) **Status:** ✅ Implemented **Location:** `finance/zatca_service.py` - ZATCAService class **Features:** - Full UBL 2.1 XML generation - Proper namespace handling - Support for all invoice types - Includes: - UBL Extensions (signatures, QR code) - Invoice identification (IRN, UUID) - Supplier/Customer party information - Tax totals and breakdowns - Line items with tax details - Billing references for credit/debit notes **Key Methods:** - `generate_xml_invoice()` - Main XML generation - `_add_ubl_extensions()` - Add signatures and QR - `_add_supplier_party()` - Seller information - `_add_customer_party()` - Buyer information - `_add_tax_total()` - VAT calculations - `_add_invoice_lines()` - Line items ### 2. FATOORA API Integration **Status:** ✅ Implemented **Location:** `finance/zatca_service.py` - ZATCAService class **Features:** - **Clearance API** (for Standard Invoices - B2B) - Real-time submission before sharing with buyer - Returns cleared invoice with ZATCA stamp - Endpoint: `/invoices/clearance/single` - **Reporting API** (for Simplified Invoices - B2C) - Submit within 24 hours of generation - Near real-time validation - Endpoint: `/invoices/reporting/single` - **Environment Support:** - Sandbox: `https://gw-fatoora.zatca.gov.sa/e-invoicing/simulation` - Production: `https://gw-fatoora.zatca.gov.sa/e-invoicing/core` **Key Methods:** ```python def submit_for_clearance(self, invoice, csid: str, secret: str) -> Tuple[bool, Dict]: """Submit standard invoice for clearance.""" # Returns (success, response_data) def submit_for_reporting(self, invoice, csid: str, secret: str) -> Tuple[bool, Dict]: """Submit simplified invoice for reporting.""" # Returns (success, response_data) ``` ### 3. Phase 2 Preparation Fields **Status:** ✅ Implemented **Location:** `finance/models.py` - Invoice model **Features:** - `cryptographic_stamp` - For ECDSA signatures - `zatca_status` - Clearance/Reporting status - `zatca_submission_date` - Submission timestamp - `zatca_response` - JSON field for API responses - `xml_content` - UBL 2.1 XML storage - `issue_time` - Precise timestamp ## Database Schema Changes ### New Fields Added to Invoice Model: 1. `invoice_counter` - PositiveIntegerField (indexed) 2. `invoice_type` - CharField with choices 3. `billing_reference_id` - CharField 4. `billing_reference_issue_date` - DateField 5. `issue_time` - TimeField 6. `invoice_hash` - CharField (64 chars) 7. `previous_invoice_hash` - CharField (64 chars) 8. `qr_code` - TextField 9. `cryptographic_stamp` - TextField 10. `zatca_status` - CharField 11. `zatca_submission_date` - DateTimeField 12. `zatca_response` - JSONField 13. `xml_content` - TextField ### Indexes Added: - `invoice_counter` - For performance - `invoice_type, status` - For filtering ## VAT Handling **Current Implementation:** - 15% VAT applied to non-Saudi patients - 0% VAT for Saudi citizens (national ID starts with '1') - Automatic VAT calculation in invoice model **Code:** ```python @property def should_apply_vat(self): """Determine if VAT should be applied to this invoice.""" return not self.is_saudi_patient @property def is_saudi_patient(self): """Check if patient is Saudi based on national ID.""" if self.patient and self.patient.national_id: return self.patient.national_id.startswith('1') return False ``` ## Usage Examples ### 1. Generate XML for Invoice ```python from finance.zatca_service import ZATCAService # Initialize service (sandbox mode) zatca = ZATCAService(use_sandbox=True) # Generate XML xml_content = zatca.generate_xml_invoice(invoice) # Save to invoice invoice.xml_content = xml_content invoice.save() ``` ### 2. Submit Standard Invoice for Clearance ```python from finance.zatca_service import ZATCAService zatca = ZATCAService(use_sandbox=True) # Submit for clearance (B2B) success, response = zatca.submit_for_clearance( invoice=invoice, csid='your-csid-here', secret='your-secret-here' ) if success: # Update invoice with ZATCA response invoice.zatca_status = 'CLEARED' invoice.zatca_response = response invoice.zatca_submission_date = timezone.now() invoice.save() ``` ### 3. Submit Simplified Invoice for Reporting ```python from finance.zatca_service import ZATCAService zatca = ZATCAService(use_sandbox=True) # Submit for reporting (B2C) success, response = zatca.submit_for_reporting( invoice=invoice, csid='your-csid-here', secret='your-secret-here' ) if success: # Update invoice with ZATCA response invoice.zatca_status = 'REPORTED' invoice.zatca_response = response invoice.zatca_submission_date = timezone.now() invoice.save() ``` ## Remaining Work (Future Enhancements) ### 1. Cryptographic Signing (ECDSA) - Implement ECDSA signing with secp256k1 curve - Generate and manage private/public key pairs - Sign simplified invoices before submission ### 2. CSID Management - Create model to store CSIDs - Implement CSID renewal process - Handle CSID expiration - Secure storage of private keys ### 3. PDF/A-3 Generation - Generate PDF/A-3 with embedded XML - Include QR code in PDF - Proper formatting for invoices ### 4.
