Zimra Invoice Number vs Seller Invoice Number

Zimra Invoice Number vs Seller Invoice Number

Difference between the ZIMRA Invoice Number & Seller Invoice Sequence

When you produce fiscal invoices and fiscalise, your fiscal invoice has two Invoice number references:
  1. Seller Invoice Number (follows your sequence within the accounting software)
  2. ZIMRA Invoice Number
When manually verifying your invoice on the FDMS website, you use the second part of the ZIMRA invoice number provided on the fiscal invoice, NOT the seller invoice.


When you do a credit note, it will reference the ZIMRA invoice number as highlighted on the invoice below, and it also then continues the ZIMRA sequence as well. 


The ZIMRA invoice number does not invalidate your Seller invoice number.
