The MY ClearTax e-Invoicing Integration for LS Central connects LS Central with ClearTax, a government-approved e-invoicing middleware, to automate the generation and submission of e-Invoices to Malaysia's Inland Revenue Board (IRBM). Every sales transaction recorded at the POS is captured, staged, and submitted electronically, ensuring compliance with Malaysian e-invoicing regulations without requiring manual data entry.
After each sale, LS Central creates a staging entry for the transaction. Scheduled background jobs then validate and upload the e-Invoice payload to ClearTax, which forwards it to the IRBM. Status updates (including the IRBM-assigned UUID) are written back into the staging record and are visible on the Transaction Card.
The integration supports both automatic background submission via scheduler jobs and a manual Upload e-Invoice action that cashiers can trigger from the POS transaction list.
