FBR e-Invoicing in ManagerBhai: A Step-by-Step Guide
Connect ManagerBhai to FBR Digital Invoicing, prepare your customers and items, submit invoices automatically and fix the common errors.
FBR Digital Invoicing requires registered businesses to report every sales invoice to FBR in real time. ManagerBhai does this directly from the sales invoice — there is no separate portal and nothing to type twice.
What you need before you start
- Your business registered for Digital Invoicing on the FBR IRIS portal.
- The Bearer Token FBR issues for your integration.
- Your NTN (or CNIC), registered name, province and address exactly as FBR has them.
1. Save your FBR settings
Click your name at the top right and choose FBR Settings. Fill in the NTN / CNIC, registered name, province, address, default scenario and paste your Bearer Token. Save.
2. Prepare customers and items
FBR validates every invoice line, so clean master data avoids most rejections:
- Customers — NTN or CNIC for registered buyers, and their province.
- Items — the correct HS code and unit of measure, and the right sales-tax rate.
3. Create invoices as usual
Go to Sales → Invoice → New and save the invoice normally. ManagerBhai submits it to FBR as part of the save, stores the FBR invoice number and prints the FBR QR code and number on the invoice.
4. Monitor submissions
Sales → FBR Status is your control panel. It shows every invoice with its FBR state. Anything that failed shows FBR's reason, so you can fix the data and submit it again.
Common errors and fixes

| Invalid buyer registration | Customer NTN / CNIC missing or wrong | Correct the customer record |
| Invalid HS code / UOM | Item master incomplete | Set the HS code and unit on the item |
| Rate mismatch | Wrong tax rate for the scenario | Check the item's tax rate and the default scenario |
