UAE e-invoicingAI-Powered AP Automation Beyond E-Invoicing

Your ASP delivers the e-invoice.
Serina gets it ready to pay.

Serina validates, matches, approves and posts the e-invoices your ASP delivers, then reconciles supplier statements.

Works alongside your Accredited Service Provider. Serina is not an ASP.

Illustrative invoices. Values are placeholders, not customer data.

The problem

Don’t Let Compliant E-Invoices Stall in AP

Your ASP delivers structured, compliant e-invoices, but each still needs AP validation, matching, approvals, exception handling, and posting before it reaches your ERP.

E-invoice exceptions require supplier credit notes and corrected invoices, extending the AP resolution cycle.

The challenge

Where Your ASP Stops Short

An ASP exchanges e-invoices. It doesn’t process them. That work still lands on your AP team.

Exchange and compliance

What your ASP does

  • Validates the e-invoice against the UAE format (PINT-AE)
  • Sends and receives e-invoices over the Peppol network
  • Reports invoice data to the tax authority
  • Delivers structured invoice data to you
Where Serina takes over

What your ASP doesn’t do

  • Match invoices with POs and goods receipts
  • Apply GL codes and accounting dimensions
  • Route invoices for approval
  • Resolve price, quantity and duplicate exceptions
  • Notify suppliers of discrepancies and request credit notes through their ASP
  • Post approved invoice data to your ERP
  • Reconcile invoices and supplier statements

ASP compliance validates invoice format, not whether prices and quantities match your orders.

Pain points

Let Routine AP Work Run Itself

Without an AP layer after your ASP, the work just moves from paper to portals.

Task 01 Download portal invoices and rekey ERP data Transfer invoice data without re-entry
Task 02 Check supplier, tax, and PO details across screens Validate supplier, tax, PO, and business rules
Task 03 Compare invoices, POs, and GRNs in spreadsheets Match invoices, POs, and GRNs; flag discrepancies
Task 04 Assign GL codes and cost centers line by line Apply GL codes and cost centers automatically
Task 05 Chase approvers over email Route invoices based on approval rules
Task 06 Find duplicates and resolve invoice exceptions Flag duplicates, resolve routine exceptions, notify suppliers

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Anything else? Write to info@serina.ai or send us a message.

What is e-invoicing?

The exchange of invoices as structured, machine-readable data over compliant networks such as Peppol, instead of PDFs or paper.

Is Serina an Accredited Service Provider (ASP)?

No. Serina is AP automation, not an ASP. You still appoint an ASP; Serina handles the AP work after the invoice is delivered.

Does Serina support UAE e-invoicing?

Yes. Serina processes structured PINT-AE e-invoices delivered through your ASP over Peppol, then handles validation, PO/GRN matching, approvals, exceptions and ERP posting.

What are the key UAE e-invoicing deadlines?

The UAE rollout is phased by annual revenue. Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more had to appoint an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) by 30 October 2026, and e-invoicing becomes mandatory for them from 1 January 2027. Businesses below AED 50 million must appoint an ASP by 31 March 2027, with e-invoicing mandatory from 1 July 2027. Dates per the UAE Ministry of Finance, as amended May 2026.

We’ve already appointed our ASP. Do we still need Serina?

Your ASP exchanges e-invoices and handles compliance. It doesn’t match invoices to POs and GRNs, apply GL codes, route approvals, resolve exceptions or post to your ERP. That work still lands on your AP team from go-live. Serina handles it.

Can Serina process other types of invoices too?

Yes. E-invoices and every other invoice type run through the same AP workflow.

Does e-invoicing replace AP automation?

No. E-invoicing changes how invoices arrive. AP automation handles what happens next: validation, matching, approvals, exceptions, posting and reconciliation.
