e-Invoice Compliant ERP System: Odoo Malaysia e-Invoice

Odoo ERP system’s e-invoice solution is fully compliant with LHDN Malaysia e-invoicing standards and regulations. 

As businesses in Malaysia gear up for the upcoming e-invoice mandates, the need for a robust, compliant ERP system has never been greater. 

e-Invoicing, a digital way of managing invoices, is becoming the new standard in Malaysia, driven by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) to enhance tax compliance and streamline business operations. 

In this blog post, we'll dive into what e-invoicing means for your business, the key implementation dates to keep in mind, and why the Odoo ERP system is the ideal solution for ensuring your business remains compliant.

What is e-Invoicing?

e-Invoicing, or electronic invoicing, is the process of issuing, receiving, and storing invoices in a digital format. In Malaysia, e-invoicing is being rolled out as part of the LHDN’s efforts to modernize the tax system, improve transparency, and reduce tax evasion. 

The shift to e-invoicing is not just a trend; it’s becoming a legal requirement that businesses must comply with. This means that all invoices, once the mandates are in place, must be generated, sent, and stored electronically, following specific standards set by LHDN.

The main reason LHDN Malaysia is pushing for e-invoice compliance is to create a more efficient tax reporting system that minimizes errors, fraud, and administrative burdens on businesses. 

By adopting e-invoicing, businesses can not only comply with regulations but also benefit from faster invoice processing, reduced paper usage, and better cash flow management.

Malaysia e-Invoicing Implementation Date

The transition to e-invoicing in Malaysia is being rolled out in phases, giving businesses time to adapt. Here’s a breakdown of the key implementation dates: 

  • 1 August 2024: All businesses with an annual turnover exceeding RM100 million must comply with the e-invoice requirements. This means that from this date onwards, any invoice issued by these businesses must be an e-invoice that meets LHDN’s standards. Invoices issued before this date do not need to be converted into e-invoices, but any future invoicing activities must comply.

  • 1 January 2025: Businesses with an annual turnover between RM25 million and RM100 million will need to comply with the e-invoice requirements. This group of businesses has a few extra months to prepare, but the compliance deadline is just as crucial.

  • 1 July 2025: All taxpayers, regardless of their annual turnover, must switch to e-invoicing. This final phase marks the complete rollout of the e-invoicing system across Malaysia, ensuring that all businesses are aligned with the new digital invoicing standards.

The phased approach allows businesses of different sizes to transition smoothly to the new system, ensuring that they have the necessary tools and processes in place to generate e-invoices that comply with LHDN’s requirements.

2. e-Invoice Approval Status in a Single View


Our customized Odoo’s IRBM Sync Log feature provides businesses with a comprehensive overview of all their e-invoices’ approval statuses.
