Opera ERP Integration
UAE E-Invoicing for Opera 3 — FTA PINT-AE Made Simple
TrustBill links Pegasus Opera 3 and Opera II to the UAE FTA e-invoicing network. We extract invoice data, convert it to PINT-AE, and submit it through an FTA-accredited ASP — so you keep using Opera while meeting the 1 January 2027 large-business and 1 July 2027 SME deadlines.
How TrustBill integrates with Opera 3 and Opera II
Opera 3 and Opera II are not natively configured for UAE FTA Peppol e-invoicing, so a data export or connector plus an accredited service provider is required. TrustBill provides a middleware layer that extracts invoice, customer, VAT, and currency data from Opera — through a scheduled export or a secure, read-only database connection — and transforms it into PINT-AE XML. We validate every document against the UAE mandatory field rules and route it through our FTA-accredited ASP for submission and status tracking.
One-time setup guide
Setting up the Opera integration is straightforward:
1. **Create your TrustBill account** — Sign up for free and enter your TRN and business details. 2. **Choose your Opera source** — Select the Opera 3 or Opera II connector and the data export method that fits your environment. 3. **Map invoice fields** — We map seller/buyer TRNs, line items, VAT rates, currency, and other mandatory PINT-AE fields. 4. **Validate a sample invoice** — Send a test invoice to confirm PINT-AE structure and FTA validation rules. 5. **Go live** — TrustBill automatically converts and submits live invoices on your chosen schedule.
Most businesses are live within one to two business days, depending on the export format and the number of custom field mappings.
PINT-AE compliance for Opera invoices
TrustBill converts native Opera invoice data into PINT-AE XML, the UAE's national e-invoice standard. The output covers all FTA-required data elements — invoice UUID, issue date, seller and buyer TRNs, line-level HSN or service classification, VAT category and rate, taxable totals, and UAE-specific fields such as free-zone and margin-scheme indicators. Every document is checked against the FTA mandatory field list and Peppol PINT-AE syntax before it is sent to the ASP.

Data security and read-only access
TrustBill requests only the minimum read-only access needed to extract invoice data from Opera. We do not create, modify, or delete records in your accounting system. All data in transit uses TLS 1.3 and all stored data is encrypted at rest. The connector and exports are designed so your Opera company data stays on your infrastructure until the required invoice records are securely transmitted to TrustBill's UAE-hosted environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Opera versions work with TrustBill?
TrustBill supports Pegasus Opera 3 and Opera II. Older Opera II environments can often be connected through a structured export; Opera 3 is the recommended version for the smoothest integration.
Is Opera 3 itself UAE FTA e-invoicing ready?
No. Opera 3 is not natively configured for UAE FTA Peppol / PINT-AE e-invoicing. It needs a middleware connector and an FTA-accredited service provider (ASP). TrustBill provides both the PINT-AE conversion and the ASP submission layer.
How long does the Opera integration take to set up?
Most businesses are live in one to two business days. The exact time depends on the export method, the number of custom fields to map, and how quickly your team can confirm a few sample invoices.
Is my Opera data secure with TrustBill?
Yes. We use read-only access, TLS 1.3 in transit, and AES-256-GCM at rest. Your Opera company data is not exposed beyond the invoice records required for compliance, and all stored data remains in the UAE.
Does TrustBill support multi-currency invoices from Opera?
Yes. Opera's multi-currency transactions are converted to PINT-AE with the original invoice currency preserved and the tax amount reported in AED, aligning with FTA requirements.
