🔑 Key Technical Achievements

1. QR Code Generation (TLV Format)

# Automatic generation on invoice save
invoice.qr_code = invoice.generate_qr_code()

# Phase 1 fields (5 tags):
# 1. Seller's Name
# 2. VAT Registration Number
# 3. Timestamp (ISO 8601)
# 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 stamp's public key

2. Invoice Hash Chain

# SHA-256 hash of invoice data
invoice.invoice_hash = invoice.generate_invoice_hash()

# Links to previous invoice
invoice.previous_invoice_hash = last_invoice.invoice_hash

# Creates unbreakable chain
Invoice 1 → Invoice 2 → Invoice 3 → ...

3. ZATCA API Integration

# Clearance (B2B) - Real-time
success, response = zatca.submit_for_clearance(invoice, csid, secret)

# Reporting (B2C) - Within 24 hours
success, response = zatca.submit_for_reporting(invoice, csid, secret)

# Automatic retry on failure
@shared_task(bind=True, max_retries=5, default_retry_delay=300)
def submit_invoice_to_zatca(self, invoice_id, use_sandbox=True):
    # Retries 5 times with 5-minute delays

4. XML Generation (UBL 2.1)

# Complete UBL 2.1 structure
xml = zatca.generate_xml_invoice(invoice)

# Includes:
# - UBL Extensions (signatures, QR)
# - Invoice identification (IRN, UUID)
# - Supplier/Customer parties
# - Tax totals and breakdowns
# - Line items with tax details
# - Billing references for credit/debit notes

5. Cryptographic Signing

# ECDSA key pair generation
private_key, public_key = CryptoService.generate_key_pair()

# Sign invoice hash
signature = CryptoService.sign_data(invoice_hash, private_key)

# Verify signature
is_valid = CryptoService.verify_signature(data, signature, public_key)

🚀 How to Use

1. Create Invoice with ZATCA Compliance

from finance.models import Invoice

# Create invoice (counter and hash auto-generated)
invoice = Invoice.objects.create(
    tenant=tenant,
    patient=patient,
    invoice_type='SIMPLIFIED',  # or 'STANDARD'
    issue_date=date.today(),
    due_date=date.today() + timedelta(days=30),
    subtotal=100.00,
    tax=15.00,
    total=115.00
)

# QR code, hash, and counter automatically generated!
print(invoice.qr_code)  # Base64 TLV encoded
print(invoice.invoice_hash)  # SHA-256 hash
print(invoice.invoice_counter)  # Sequential number

2. Submit to ZATCA

from finance.zatca_tasks import submit_invoice_to_zatca

# Async submission with automatic retry
result = submit_invoice_to_zatca.delay(
    invoice_id=str(invoice.id),
    use_sandbox=True  # Use False for production
)

# Check result
if result.get('success'):
    print(f"Invoice {invoice.invoice_number} submitted successfully!")

3. Generate PDF

from finance.pdf_service import PDFService

# Generate PDF with QR code
pdf_bytes = PDFService.generate_invoice_pdf(invoice, include_xml=True)

# Save to file
with open(f'invoice_{invoice.invoice_number}.pdf', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(pdf_bytes)

4. Generate XML

from finance.zatca_service import ZATCAService

zatca = ZATCAService(use_sandbox=True)
xml_content = zatca.generate_xml_invoice(invoice)

# Save to invoice
invoice.xml_content = xml_content
invoice.save()

5. Manage CSID

from finance.csid_manager import CSIDManager

# Get active CSID
csid = CSIDManager.get_active_csid(tenant)

# Check if renewal needed
needs_renewal, message = CSIDManager.check_expiry_and_renew(tenant)

# Validate invoice sequence
is_valid, gaps = InvoiceCounterManager.validate_counter_sequence(tenant)

💡 Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Run Migrations

cd /Users/marwanalwali/AgdarCentre
python3 manage.py migrate

Step 2: Configure Tenant

# In Django admin or shell
tenant = Tenant.objects.first()
tenant.vat_number = "300000000000003"  # Your VAT number
tenant.name_ar = "مركز أغدار"  # Arabic name
tenant.address = "Riyadh, Saudi Arabia"
tenant.city = "Riyadh"
tenant.postal_code = "12345"
tenant.save()

Step 3: Create Test Invoice

from finance.models import Invoice, InvoiceLineItem
from datetime import date, timedelta

# Create invoice
invoice = Invoice.objects.create(
    tenant=tenant,
    patient=patient,
    invoice_type='SIMPLIFIED',
    issue_date=date.today(),
    due_date=date.today() + timedelta(days=30),
    subtotal=100.00,
    tax=15.00,
    total=115.00,
    status='ISSUED'
)

# Add line item
InvoiceLineItem.objects.create(
    invoice=invoice,
    description="Consultation",
    quantity=1,
    unit_price=100.00,
    total=100.00
)

# Check generated fields
print(f"Counter: {invoice.invoice_counter}")
print(f"Hash: {invoice.invoice_hash}")
print(f"QR Code: {invoice.qr_code[:50]}...")

Step 4: Test ZATCA Submission (Sandbox)

from finance.zatca_tasks import submit_invoice_to_zatca

# Submit to sandbox
result = submit_invoice_to_zatca.delay(
    invoice_id=str(invoice.id),
    use_sandbox=True
)

# Check status
invoice.refresh_from_db()
print(f"ZATCA Status: {invoice.zatca_status}")
print(f"Response: {invoice.zatca_response}")

📚 Code Examples

Example 1: Standard Invoice (B2B) with Clearance

# Create standard invoice
invoice = Invoice.objects.create(
    tenant=tenant,
    patient=business_patient,
    invoice_type='STANDARD',  # B2B
    issue_date=date.today(),
    due_date=date.today() + timedelta(days=15),
    subtotal=1000.00,
    tax=150.00,
    total=1150.00,
    status='ISSUED'
)

# Submit for clearance (must be done before sharing with buyer)
from finance.zatca_service import ZATCAService
from finance.csid_manager import CSIDManager

csid = CSIDManager.get_active_csid(tenant)
zatca = ZATCAService(use_sandbox=False)

success, response = zatca.submit_for_clearance(
    invoice=invoice,
    csid=csid.certificate,
    secret=csid.secret
)

if success:
    # Invoice cleared - can now share with buyer
    # ZATCA stamp and QR code added to XML
    invoice.zatca_status = 'CLEARED'
    invoice.xml_content = response['clearedInvoice']
    invoice.save()

Example 2: Simplified Invoice (B2C) with Reporting

# Create simplified invoice
invoice = Invoice.objects.create(
    tenant=tenant,
    patient=customer,
    invoice_type='SIMPLIFIED',  # B2C
    issue_date=date.today(),
    due_date=date.today() + timedelta(days=30),
    subtotal=50.00,
    tax=7.50,
    total=57.50,
    status='ISSUED'
)

# Can share with customer immediately
# Report to ZATCA within 24 hours (automated)
from finance.zatca_tasks import submit_invoice_to_zatca

# Async submission
submit_invoice_to_zatca.delay(str(invoice.id), use_sandbox=False)

Example 3: Credit Note

# Create credit note for original invoice
credit_note = Invoice.objects.create(
    tenant=tenant,
    patient=patient,
    invoice_type='SIMPLIFIED_CREDIT',  # or STANDARD_CREDIT
    billing_reference_id=original_invoice.invoice_number,
    billing_reference_issue_date=original_invoice.issue_date,
    issue_date=date.today(),
    due_date=date.today(),
    subtotal=-50.00,  # Negative for credit
    tax=-7.50,
    total=-57.50,
    status='ISSUED'
)

# Submit to ZATCA (same process as regular invoice)

⚠️ Important Notes

VAT Application Logic:

# Current implementation:
# - 15% VAT for non-Saudi patients (national_id starts with '2')
# - 0% VAT for Saudi citizens (national_id starts with '1')

if invoice.should_apply_vat:
    invoice.tax = invoice.subtotal * Decimal('0.15')
else:
    invoice.tax = Decimal('0.00')

Invoice Sequence:

• Counter CANNOT be reset
• Must be sequential (gaps detected and reported)
• Previous hash must link to last generated invoice
• Applies to both accepted AND rejected invoices

Submission Timing:

• Standard (B2B): Must clear BEFORE sharing with buyer
• Simplified (B2C): Can share immediately, report within 24 hours
• Credit/Debit Notes: Follow same rules as original invoice type
