As the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) rolls out mandatory e-Invoicing across Malaysia, businesses are under pressure to move from manual processes to digital compliance. Although the benefits are clear - improved accuracy, streamlined tax reporting and faster processing, many businesses face operational challenges during the transition.
Here's Malaysia's top five e-Invoicing pain points — and how SQL EBI POS helps fix them.
Malaysia’s Top 5 e-Invoicing Pain Points
⚠️ Pain Point 1: Manual Data Entry Errors
Manual key in the details that are required by LHDN is:
Time-consuming
Increasing the error rates
Higher rejection risk during e-Invoice submission
How SQL EBI POS Helps - Automated Data Capture
SQL EBI POS enables auto-fill function by saving the submitted data from the initial submission for future use. When needed, the system retrieves this saved information to automatically complete the required fields with a single click. This helps reduce manual entry, minimize errors, and enhance overall efficiency.
⚠️ Pain Point 2: Complex Compliance Requirements
Many businesses struggle to stay compliant because of evolving directives from the LHDN. Moreover, manually uploading the invoices correctly to the MyInvois Portal, especially in batch, can be burdensome.
How SQL EBI POS Helps - e-Invoice Ready Functionality
SQL EBI POS includes an e-invoice module that aligns with LHDN’s e-invoicing standard and enables direct e-invoice issuance and submission, keeping you sidestepping manual upload to the portal.
⚠️ Pain Point 3: Lack of e-Invoice Submission Status Visibility
Many businesses submit e-Invoices to the MyInvois Portal but do not receive immediate confirmation messages of the submission results.
How SQL EBI POS Helps - Support Real Time Validation Status
With real-time validation status (Valid, Invalid, etc.), can ensure your business is timely follow-up with the submission status without guesswork. Helps in better visibility and faster action on rejected submission.
⚠️ Pain Point 4: Multi-Outlet Complexity
For businesses with multiple outlets, centralizing the invoicing across branches for e-Invoice submission is costly and time consuming.
How SQL EBI POS Helps - Centralized Multi-Outlet Management
SQL EBI POS is able to centralize outlet data into one unified system. With cloud sync, businesses can sync data automatically and maintain proper e-invoicing compliance, simplifying the process into an automated workflow.
⚠️ Pain Point 5: Legacy Systems & Poor Integration
Many businesses still operate on outdated systems that are not built to support modern compliance and digital requirements — especially e-Invoicing.
How SQL EBI POS Helps - Seamless System Connections
SQL EBI POS is fully integrated with SQL Accounting Software and designed to support Malaysia’s e-Invoicing framework. Moreover, it’s also integrated with e-commerce platforms and payment gateway. With unified system integration, SQL EBI POS helps your business stay compliant, efficient, and e-Invoice-ready.
