e-invoicing
What Odoo 20 (September 2026) changes in e-invoicing, withholding tax, the chart of accounts and payment statuses for Egyptian companies, and what to test before upgrading.
What is the difference between invoicing what is ordered and delivered? Odoo 20.0 documents the cycle: quotation validity, delivery, down payments, and the ETA-linked invoice.
Why do an Egyptian company's books drift even on Odoo? Recurring errors trace to settings in taxes, journals, inventory valuation and lock dates, as Odoo 19.0 documents them.
Community or Enterprise, and which hosting suits an Egyptian company? Two editions, three hosting types and the Egypt localisation, from Odoo's documentation and pricing page.
Is every real cost a business bears deductible? The law requires a link to the activity and an electronic invoice, and rules out specific items outright, however well documented.
When is input VAT deductible in Egypt? An e-invoice and a year-end accountant's certificate unless payment is on the ETA system; schedule tax excluded; shared input apportioned.
How an ERP actually connects to the ETA's systems: registering as a delegate, e-signing, submission and validation, item coding, and the cancellation and rejection rules.
What closes each phase of an ERP implementation in Egypt? A signed-off deliverable, from requirements to go-live, and no go-live before the e-invoicing integration is tested.
What follows from not issuing an Egyptian e-invoice? A buyer's cost without one from an obliged supplier is disallowed and its input VAT lost, often heavier than the fine.
