Microsoft Dynamics AX (Legacy) e-invoicing integration

ZATCA/FTA compliance for organizations still running Dynamics AX 2012, without forcing an upgrade to hit a compliance deadline.

Architecture

Microsoft Dynamics AX (Legacy)Sales order → Invoice → Posting
dsFatoora Connectorextraction & mapping

ZATCA / FTAclearance / reporting

Supported versions

Dynamics AX 2012 R2 and R3. Earlier versions assessed case by case depending on database schema.

Integration methods

MethodWhen we use it
SQL / staging table extractionStandard path — reads directly from AX's SQL Server database via a staging layer.
AIF (Application Integration Framework)Used where AX's own integration framework is already configured and maintained.
Middleware connector (dsFatoora)Validates, signs and submits; writes clearance status back to AX.
Native capability

Strengths

AX 2012's core financial posting logic is stable and well understood after years of production use — the gap isn't reliability, it's the absence of any e-invoicing framework at all.

Native capability

Gaps we close

AX 2012 has no native e-invoicing or ZATCA/FTA compliance capability. Every part of the pipeline — validation, XML generation, signing, submission — has to be added externally.

Our value-add layer

We read invoice data directly from AX's database via a staging extraction layer, run it through the full dsFatoora compliance pipeline, and post clearance status and QR data back against the original AX transaction — giving you a compliant path on your current version while you plan any future migration on your own schedule, not the regulator's.

FAQs

Do we need to upgrade to D365 to be compliant?

No. We integrate directly with AX 2012 via database extraction — no upgrade required to meet a compliance deadline.

Is reading directly from the database safe?

We extract from a staging/replica layer, not the live transactional database, to avoid any performance impact on AX itself.

Can this feed into a future migration project?

Yes — the data mapping work done for compliance is directly reusable groundwork if you later migrate to D365 F&O.
