Please let me know where I can find valid Business Id for testing

We are currently integrating our application with the FIRS e-Invoicing platform and have successfully accessed the sandbox environment. However, we require a valid business_id to test invoice validation and submission via the API.

Kindly provide us with a test business_id or advise on how to generate one within the sandbox environment.

Thank you for your support.

Dear Apehg,

Thank you for reaching out. To assist you further, could you please confirm your role within the e-Invoicing ecosystem? Are you integrating as a:

Taxpayer
System Integrator
Access Point Provider

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

SysAdmin

The role within the e-Invoicing ecosystem is that of a System Integrator.

Thank you for your swift response.

@SysAdmin
Just a kind reminder to follow up on our request regarding how to obtain the BusinessID on the FIRS e-Invoicing platform.

We’d appreciate your guidance on how to access or generate it, especially for our sandbox testing.

I appreciate your support.

SysAdmin

apehg As a System Integrator (SI), you are expected to collaborate with a taxpayer to test your implementation. In this setup, the taxpayer will provide you with their Business ID, Service ID, and other required parameters for integration and validation.

Alternatively, if you are also registered as a taxpayer on the platform, you may enable your own business for e-Invoicing and use your credentials to perform test transactions and validate your integration flow.

I have a similar concern. What is the test Business ID and Service ID for the Sandbox?
We are unable to test the integration without this as we are getting the error message: this business does not exist. Kindly help.

SysAdmin

hefhem Please confirm your role within the e-Invoicing Ecosystem.

SysAdmin We registered as a System Integrator. We are already collaborating with a Tax Payer. Is there a way to flag the test transaction as test when testing the integration flow so it doesn't count towards actual invoices on the e-Invoice platform?

apehg

Thank you for the clarification and the assistance.

I have dual roles, System Integrator and Taxpayer. I will use my credentials. Thank you
