What is ZATCA Phase 2 E-Invoicing Software for Saudi Pharmacies?

It generates simplified B2C tax receipts and standard B2B tax invoices with cryptographic stamps, UUIDs, and TLV QR codes, while automatically distinguishing 0% VAT SFDA-registered medicines from 15% VAT cosmetics and wellness items.
