Go-live checklist
From sandbox testing to live FBR invoices
A practical checklist for business and IT teams — test first, go live with fewer surprises.
Before you start
A simple checklist before live invoices
Use this page to get your team ready — who does what, what to test first, and when it is safe to send real customer invoices. Exact screens may change; the steps below stay the same.
Core path
Four stages before full volume
Align people
Finance owns tax treatment; IT owns access; advisor covers compliance questions.
Test safely
Practice representative invoices — including ones that should fail — before live traffic.
Go live controlled
Start with a monitored set of live invoices, then scale to full volume or bulk.
Before you leave sandbox
Checklist items teams often skip
If you cannot answer these, you are not ready for live volume.
Buyer data quality
Can your team confirm NTN/CNIC and registration details before submitting?
Tax treatment examples
Have you tested the invoice patterns you actually sell — not only a happy-path sample?
Failure handling
Who retries or fixes invoices that do not go through — and how do they find them?
Proof storage
Where do official confirmation details live so ops and auditors can retrieve them later?
Volume plan
If peaks are high, is bulk ready in the product or API before go-live day?
Support contacts
Do finance and IT know who to call at your firm and at your software partner?
Definition of done
You are ready for live when…
People know their job
Finance, IT, and advisors agree who owns tax, access, and day-two support.
Tests match reality
You have submitted representative invoices — including edge cases — in sandbox.
Live starts small
First live invoices are monitored, then volume and bulk scale with evidence.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sandbox in FBR digital invoicing?
A sandbox is a test environment where you practice invoice submission before live customer invoices. It helps catch setup mistakes without affecting real tax records.
Who should be involved before go-live?
Usually finance (invoice rules), IT (systems and access), and a tax advisor for compliance questions. Software vendors help with product setup — they do not replace your tax advice.
When should we turn on bulk?
If daily or monthly volume makes one-by-one entry unrealistic, plan bulk in the product or API during testing — not after live pain shows up.
