Case Study: Saudi Electricity Company achieves compliant, streamlined e-invoicing at scale with SAP

Transforming the Business Portfolio with a Streamlined and Scalable E-Invoicing Framework Integrated with the Saudi Arabia Tax Authority

Saudi Electricity Company, a major utility in Saudi Arabia, faced a complex e-invoicing challenge with more than 126 million taxable transactions a year across SAP and non-SAP billing systems, over 10 legal entities, and 250+ business scenarios. To stay compliant with Saudi e-invoicing regulations and avoid penalties, SEC needed a scalable way to manage and integrate invoices with the Saudi tax authority.

SAP implemented SAP Document and Reporting Compliance with SAP Integration Suite and related localization services to automate invoice generation, consolidation, validation, and reporting with ZATCA. The result was a live, unified e-invoicing framework that supports 600K+ invoices per day, improves accuracy and transparency, reduces manual errors and fraud risk, and delivers significant cost savings and faster compliance.
