Why Use It?

The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) is introducing Smart Invoice, an electronic invoicing system that will be used to manage all stock data and invoices. All Zambian taxpayers (other than individuals) will be required to use Smart Invoice.

  • The NetSmart 300 App integrates Sage 300 with the ZRA Smart Invoice system.
  • It has been certified by ZRA as meeting all integration requirements.

How it Works

These examples illustrate just some of the features of NetSmart 300 in action. Full details are available from the App developer, through your Sage Solution Provider.

  • The Device Initialisation screen registers the Sage 300 instance as a ZRA Smart Invoice client, allowing you to interact with Smart Invoice via their API.
