Quick response code generation for e-invoicing in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

In the digital era, the emergence of quick response (QR) code technology has become a vital tool for enhancing the efficiency of electronic invoice management and promoting security and transparency in financial transactions, while reducing costs and ensuring compliance with regulations. This study focuses on QR code technology and electronic invoice requirements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by exploring the generation of QR codes for electronic invoices. The study begins by analyzing QR code technology and its role in encoding and decoding information. Subsequently, the electronic invoice requirements in Saudi Arabia are reviewed, with a focus on the applicable systems and regulations. The research also includes details on generating QR codes for electronic invoices, considering factors such as data encoding, security protocols, and compatibility standards using the Python programming language. Various steps of this process are explained. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the technology and requirements related to electronic invoices in Saudi Arabia and to develop a program for creating QR codes for electronic invoices to improve and develop the financial and technological infrastructure in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, thereby contributing to supporting the digital economy and promoting sustainable development.
