With Malaysia’s MyInvois rollout, many SMEs face the same question:

“We have many small cash or walk-in sales — how do we submit them correctly without issuing hundreds of individual e-Invoices?”

This is exactly where Consolidated e-Invoicing comes in.

In this post, we walk through a real, working setup of consolidated e-invoicing in Odoo for Malaysia — including backend preparation, system configuration, submission steps, and common errors you’re likely to face.

This is written from implementation experience, not theory.

What Is a Consolidated e-Invoice

A consolidated e-Invoice allows businesses to:

Combine many small B2C transactions
Submit them as one summary e-Invoice
Typically used for walk-in, retail, or cash sales
Reduce operational overhead
Stay compliant with LHDN / MyInvois rules

This is not meant for:

B2B invoices
Named customers with known TIN
Large individual transactions

In Odoo, this capability is enabled via Malaysia-specific localisation modules.

Backend Preparation (BTS – What Must Be Done First)

Before touching the UI, make sure your backend and integration layer are ready.

1. Update Sky & Restart Services

✅ Update Sky services
✅ Restart the relevant Odoo services

This ensures your environment is clean before pulling new localisation logic.

2. Pull Consolidated e-Invoice Module

Make sure the consolidated logic is available:

git fetch --depth=1 origin 17.0

Then pull:

l10n_my_edi_consolidated

This module handles consolidated e-invoice generation for Malaysia.

3. Update MyInvois Integrator (Representative Appointment)

From MyInvois portal:

Ensure the correct Integrator
Ensure Representative Appointment is properly assigned

If this is missing, submissions may silently fail or be rejected.

4. Backup Database (Non-Negotiable)

Before installing or updating localisation modules:

Take a full database backup

Especially important for production systems

Odoo Configuration (Malaysia e-Invoicing Essentials)

5. Install Required Modules

Ensure the following modules are installed:

Malaysia – e-Invoicing
l10n_my_edi_consolidated

6. Update Company Information

Under Company Settings:

✅ TIN number
✅ BRN (Business Registration Number)

Missing or incorrect company identity is a common cause of validation errors.

7. Create “No Tax Applicable” Tax

Even if a product has no tax, MyInvois still requires a tax structure.

Create a tax such as:

Name: No Tax Applicable
Rate: 0%
Usage: Sales

This avoids validation failures for non-taxable items.

8. Update Products (Non-Taxable Items)

For products without SST or tax:

Assign “No Tax Applicable”
Do not leave tax fields empty

Empty tax fields are invalid in e-Invoice UBL validation.

How to Submit a Consolidated e-Invoice in Odoo

Once configuration is complete, the operational flow is straightforward.

Step 1 – Identify Invoices to Consolidate

Select eligible invoices (typically small B2C / cash sales)
Ensure they fall within the same consolidation period

H3: Step 2 – Use Consolidation Action

Go to Invoices
Select invoices
Click Action → Consolidated e-Invoice

Step 3 – Review the Wizard

In the consolidation wizard:

Cross-check totals
Confirm tax amounts
Verify classification and structure

Then click:
👉 Generate e-Invoice

Step 4 – Verify on MyInvois Portal

Always double-check submission status on:

https://myinvois.hasil.gov.my
or (for testing)
https://preprod.myinvois.hasil.gov.my

Do not rely solely on Odoo UI feedback.

Common Errors & How to Fix Them

These are real-world issues you will likely encounter.

❌ Error: “Classification is invalid”

Cause:

Incorrect or missing classification code
Product or line not mapped correctly

Fix:

Verify classification code usage
Ensure consolidated e-invoice is correctly tagged
Re-check Malaysia localisation logic

❌ Error: “LineItem_ItemPriceExtension_Amount is invalid”

Cause:

Mismatch between line subtotal and computed amount
Rounding or tax misconfiguration
Incorrect tax assignment

Fix:

Review ubl_20_CommonLineType
Ensure tax and price extension calculations align
Check that “No Tax Applicable” is properly configured for zero-tax items
