Update SST-02 Form Latest Format and New Tax Codes Key Changes in SST-02 Form Section B2 – Service Tax Details Item 11: The total tax value previously combined for 6% and 8% in row c) is now split into c) Total Tax Value @ 6% and d) Total Tax Value @ 8%. The previous item 11 d) has been pushed to item 11 e) due to this change. Item 12: Caption updated to reflect the introduction of the new item 11 e). Item 13: New d) row introduced for Total Tax Value of Bad Debt Relief. Section D – Exempted and Non-Taxable Services Item 18 c): Previously a single line item, now split into three categories – 1) Provision of registered person to registered person (B2B), 2) Group Relief, and 3) Other Exemption. Item 18 d): Updated caption to the newly introduced Total Value of Non-Taxable Services. The previous item 18 d) has been pushed to item 18 e) due to this change. New Tax Codes Created for System Mapping To support the above SST-02 changes, the following new tax codes have been created for proper mapping in the system: Tax Code Description Rate SST-02 Mapping ESV-6 Exemption Service Tax for Other 0% 18 c) 3) ESV-8 Exemption Service Tax for Other 0% 18 c) 3) ESVB2B-6 Exempted Services – B2B 6% 18 c) 1) ESVB2B-8 Exempted Services – B2B 8% 18 c) 1) ESVGR-6 Exempted Services – Group Relief 6% 18 c) 2) ESVGR-8 Exempted Services – Group Relief 8% 18 c) 2) NTS Non-Taxable Services 0% 18 d) Note: The tax codes ESV-6 and ESV-8 were previously available, but their descriptions have been updated. Their SST-02 mapping has also been revised to align with the latest requirements. 2. e-Invoice QR Request Function in Cash Sales for Cash Sale Debtors In this version, we have introduced the e-Invoice QR Request function in Cash Sales for Cash Sale Debtor. This enhancement allows customers to conveniently scan a QR code on their receipts to directly request an e-Invoice, improving efficiency and reducing the need for manual processing. How It Works? 1) Set up Cash Sale Debtor Ensure you have created a Debtor and enabled the Cash Sale Debtor option. 2) Create a Cash Sale Select the Cash Sale Debtor as the Debtor. Save the transaction with payment method Cash / Credit Card / Multi-Payment. Enter the payment amount and ensure Print QR Submission is enabled. 3) Preview and Print Preview the e-Invoice report. A QR code for e-Invoice request will appear at the bottom of the document. Customers can scan this QR code to request their e-Invoice. 4) Customer Submission Process When the customer scans the QR code, the system will direct them to the e-Invoice request page. They will fill in their buyer information, validate their email address, confirm the details, and submit the request. 5) Checking Submission Status In AutoCount, go to Others > e-Invoice QR Submission Status. Set the date range and click Inquiry. The initial status will display as Pending Upload. Once validated, the record may no longer appear if Exclude Validated Submission is enabled. If you wish to view those validated records, untick “Exclude Validated Submission” and inquire again. When the document is in Valid status, previewing it with the same e-Invoice report will display the LHDN Validated QR at the bottom. Customers can scan this QR to verify whether the e-Invoice is valid. If the submission is successful, the system will create a new Tax Entity if the Full TIN and Identity No. combination does not exist, and assign this Tax Entity to the Cash Sale transaction – or replace the Tax Entity information if a matching Tax Entity is found. If Auto Email Validated e-Invoice for Cash Sale is enabled in the e-Invoice settings, the system will automatically email the validated Cash Sale document to the customer once the status is Valid. 6) Monitoring in Cash Sale List In the Cash Sale list, validated e-Invoices will display as Valid with a 72-hour countdown timer (during this period, you may edit and resubmit if necessary). To identify documents with QR Request printing, use the column chooser to pull out the Print QR Submission column in the Cash Sale command form. When this column is checked, it indicates that the report will display a QR code for the customer to scan. 7) Log File Record You can refer to the log file at: C:\ProgramData\AutoCount Server\Log Files\EInvoice 3. Sync e-Invoice Reject Request from MyInvois Portal In addition, we now support a new function to synchronize e-Invoice Reject Requests from the MyInvois Portal. With this feature, users can easily check if their customers have rejected an e-Invoice. To use this function, go to e-Invoice > Sync e-Invoice Reject Request from MyInvois Portal, then click Sync.

What’s New in AutoCount Accounting Version 2.2.22.30

AutoCount Accounting version 2.2.22.30 marks a milestone in e-Invoice license control. In addition to that milestone, this release brings a set of important enhancements across e-Invoice handling, document workflows, access rights, and reporting. Here’s a full rundown of what’s new. e-Invoice License Control Import Supplier e-Invoice from MyInvois Portal (including Reconcile Supplier e-Invoice) Option to Enable Edit Validated e-Invoice within 72 hours mechanism Auto update version mechanism Drill down to Self-Billed document from related forms such as PI, CB, etc. Customize Layout features at Self-Bill Copy From Document form Merge Tax Entity access right Clear MRU Document Status Filter at Print Purchase Request Listing and Detail Listing Export to Excel XLSX format in Multi-dimensional Sales, Purchase, Ledger Analysis Check All button for Auto Calculate Price in Stock Item Maintenance Other smaller improvements Important: This version of AutoCount Accounting will upgrade your Database Version to 2.2.87. This version requires you to use AutoCount Server Version 2.2.13.6. 1. e-Invoice License Control This version introduces e-Invoice License Control. Please take note of the following scenarios: To create a new account book for e-Invoice use (with an AIP ID), you must use Revision 30 or above. New account books are subject to e-Invoice license control. Without an activated e-Invoice license, the system limits e-Invoice submissions to 30 documents per year. To submit more than the limit, you need to purchase and activate the e-Invoice license. If an account book already had an AIP ID set up in a version prior to Revision 30, it can continue performing e-Invoice submissions after updating to Revision 30, even without activating the e-Invoice license — until further notice. 2. Import Supplier e-Invoice from MyInvois Portal A new feature lets you download supplier-issued e-Invoices from the MyInvois Portal and import them directly into AutoCount documents. To simplify the import process, you can perform Supplier Item Mapping in advance. This allows the system to automatically recognize and match the supplier’s item with your own item code. Go to e-Invoice > Supplier Item Mapping. Click the (+) button, then select the Creditor Code and the corresponding Item Code in your system to match with the supplier’s item description. Once done, click Save. Then, proceed to e-Invoice > Import Supplier e-Invoice from MyInvois Portal to sync the e-Invoices issued by your suppliers. Filter the desired date range, click Start Sync, and confirm by clicking Yes. Once the sync is complete: Double-click to view and check the invoice. You may reject the invoice, or convert it into a Purchase Invoice, Cash Purchase, or AP Invoice. When converting to a Purchase Invoice: The system automatically selects the item code based on the supplier item mapping. If no matching item is found, you can manually assign the item code. Once done, you may save or approve the Purchase Invoice. Note: the Final Total must match exactly with the record in the MyInvois Portal; otherwise, the creation will fail. If you choose to reject, a Reason must be provided. Once the invoice is rejected, AutoCount will display the status as Valid Invoice (Rejected). The rejection reason is also shown on the MyInvois Portal. 2.1 Reconcile Supplier e-Invoice AutoCount also supports a Reconcile function to help match imported supplier e-Invoices with existing records already in the system. To use this function, go to e-Invoice > Import Supplier e-Invoice from MyInvois Portal, then click Reconcile. If you’ve already created a Purchase Invoice, Cash Purchase, AP Invoice, Purchase Return, or AP Credit Note, there’s no need to convert the synced e-Invoice again. Instead, use this function to match it to the existing document. Filter the date range and click Inquiry. Select the matching (or partially matching) document and click Update. If the system detects more than one partially matched record, a remark is shown. You can double-click it to view further info. Then, select the AC Doc Type and AC Doc No to match the record, and click Update. The system displays a confirmation dialog: “Do you want to update selected document with MyInvois Portal?” Click Yes to proceed. Once complete, a dialog confirms: “Update Document with MyInvois Portal is completed successfully.” Click OK to close. After updating, the AutoCount Doc. No. appears in the list, and in the Purchase Invoice grid you can now view the e-Invoice status and UUID after matching or conversion. This method can also be used if you choose not to import and key your purchases manually, but still want to reconcile these transactions with MyInvois Portal records. 3. Add Option to Enable Edit Validated e-Invoice within 72 Hours Mechanism A new option, “Enable Edit Validated e-Invoice Within 72 Hours Mechanism,” has been added. You can find it under e-Invoice > e-Invoice Setting > Setting. When disabled, only non–e-Invoice-related fields can be edited. This setting is checked by default. If you do not wish to run this mechanism, uncheck it. If unchecked, attempting to edit any e-Invoice related field triggers a blocking message during save. 4. Auto Update Version Mechanism Starting from version 2.2.22.30, the system can automatically detect if another user or database is using a higher version. If you log in with an older version, you’ll receive an alert prompting you to update to match the higher version. Note: this auto-detection feature is only available in versions after 2.2.22.30. Press Yes, and the system will access Partner Space to download the installer and store it on the local server at C:\ProgramData\AutoCount Server\Server Accounting Setup File. For subsequent PCs using a lower version at login, the system accesses the server folder, copies the installer, and saves it locally at C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\My AutoCount\Accounting Setup File. Users may follow the standard installation process by clicking Next at each step. 5. Support Drill Down to Self-Billed Document You can now double-click the Self-Bill Doc No. (from related documents like Purchase Invoice, Cash Book, etc.) to drill down directly to the Self-Billed document. 6. Support Customize Layout Features at Self-Bill Copy From Document Form You can now customize and save the layout in the Copy From Document … Read more

e-Invoice Setting: Complete Configuration Guide

In AutoCount Accounting version 2.2.18.26 or earlier, the e-Invoice settings were located under: Company Profile > e-Invoice tab Tools > Options > Country & Tax > e-Invoice tab Starting from version 2.2.18.26 onwards, all settings have been consolidated under e-Invoice menu > e-Invoice Setting. Between versions 2.2.19.27 and 2.2.22.30, there were minor adjustments to the e-Invoice Setting details. This guide is based on version 2.2.22.30 for accuracy. Setup and Configure Your e-Invoice in Three Steps Configure e-Invoice Setting e-Invoice Status e-Invoice License Step 1 – Configure e-Invoice Setting This section allows you to set the start date for e-Invoice and configure related settings. Check the “Enable e-Invoice” checkbox to turn it on. Once enabled, the e-Invoice Settings screen will appear, and you can begin configuring the settings. 1) Enable e-Invoice “Enable e-Invoice” will be automatically enabled based on the main setting. When “Enable e-Invoice” is unchecked, all other options will be disabled. 2) Start Date Enter the date you want to start submitting your e-Invoices to IRBM. Refer to the implementation timeline below. 3) Allow Interim Relaxation Period Until To ensure smooth transitioning and implementation of e-Invoice, the Government of Malaysia agreed, on 26 July 2024, to provide taxpayers a six (6)-month interim relaxation period from the date of mandatory implementation of each phase. During the interim relaxation period, the Government of Malaysia has agreed to allow taxpayers to adopt the following: Issue consolidated e-Invoice for all activities and transactions, including the industries or activities listed under Section 3.7 of the e-Invoice Specific Guideline. Issue consolidated self-billed e-Invoice for all self-billed circumstances outlined under Section 8.3 of the e-Invoice Specific Guideline. Input any information or details in the “Description of Product or Service” field in the consolidated e-Invoice or consolidated self-billed e-Invoice, without being restricted to receipt/statement/bill reference numbers as required under Sections 3 and 4. Not issue individual e-Invoice or individual self-billed e-Invoice, even upon request, provided the taxpayer complies with the two points above. Additionally, IRBM will not undertake prosecution action under Section 120 of the Income Tax Act 1967 during the interim relaxation period for non-compliance with e-Invoice requirements, provided taxpayers comply with the requirements above. Select this option and set the appropriate date for the interim relaxation period. Refer to the table below for details on the Interim Relaxation Period by phase. Refer to: IRB E-Invoice Specific Guideline (Version 4.3) 4) Allow to Create Consolidated e-Invoice Check the box “Allow to create Consolidated e-Invoice” if your industry regulations permit it. If this option is turned off, every invoice must provide a Tax Entity so that it can be submitted for e-Invoice. 5) Consolidated e-Invoice Detail Line Limit This setting helps manage the 300KB file size limit when submitting consolidated e-Invoices. If you encounter errors during submission, try reducing the line limit. By default, this setting is set to 250 lines. 6) Use Today’s Date as Submission Date When Document Date Is Not a Valid Submission Date Check this box if you want the system to automatically use today’s date as the e-Invoice issue date whenever the original Document Date is not valid for submission (Document Date earlier than 3 days, or a future date). Example: if this option is checked, and you create an e-Invoice with Document Date = 01/07/2025 while today is 24/07/2025, the system will automatically use 24/07/2025 as the e-Invoice submission date when you save the document. 7) Enable Edit Validated e-Invoice within 72 Hours Mechanism When disabled, only non–e-Invoice-related fields can be edited. This setting is checked by default. If you do not wish to run this mechanism, kindly uncheck it. If the setting is unchecked and you attempt to edit any e-Invoice related fields, a blocking message will prompt you during save. 8) Default Classification Code Set a default classification code to be automatically applied to any item that does not have an assigned classification or has an empty item code. 9) Auto Email Validated e-Invoice Setting Enable this setting to automatically email the invoice to your customers once the e-Invoice has been successfully validated. For more details, refer to the release highlights for version 2.2.18.25. 10) Update e-Invoice Code List This button updates your MSIC, Classification, Unit of Measurement, and Country code according to the latest IRBM list. 11) This Account Book Is Using AIP Production / Staging This setting indicates whether the current account book is connected to AIP Production or AIP Staging. AIP Production is connected to the MyInvois live environment (mytax.hasil.gov.my). AIP Staging is connected to the MyInvois prepod/sandbox environment (preprod-mytax.hasil.gov.my). To switch to AIP Staging mode, contact your software dealer for assistance in creating a testing account book and linking it to AIP Staging. Note: an account book with a registered license cannot be connected to AIP Staging. Step 2 – e-Invoice Status This section connects the AIP server to your account and configures the license settings. Use this option to activate e-Invoice on AIP Server. Click Activate e-Invoice on AIP Server to do the linking. Steps to Link Your Company Tax Entity and Activate AIP Server Access Add your company’s Tax Entity. If you haven’t yet linked your company’s tax entity in the Company Profile, click Click for add new TIN. Complete required registration on the MyInvois Portal.

How to Add Malaysia e-Invoice QR Code in AutoCount Accounting

With the introduction of Malaysia’s e-Invoice system, it’s crucial for businesses to update their document formats to include the QR code and validation link as required by LHDN. While AutoCount Accounting comes with default e-Invoice-ready templates, many long-time users already have custom-designed reports that do not yet include the QR code. This guide will show you how to drag the QR code and validation text from field list into your existing custom report. This ensures your business remains compliant without redesigning your layouts from scratch. Steps to Add QR Code 1. Open Report Designer Go to Sales → Invoice. Click Report → Design Document Style Report. Select existing report template → Click Design 2. Add the QR Code and Caption In the Field List pane on the left, drag EInvoiceQRCode and EInvoiceQRCaption onto the report layout. Position EInvoiceQRCode and EInvoiceQRCaption in an appropriate location within the layout, ensuring they are clearly displayed and properly aligned. 3. Save the Report Click Save, and you’re done!Now the QR code and caption text will show only when the invoice is validated.     Done!
