Set up account for Malaysia

Malaysia-specific requirements and considerations for setting up an account.

Account setup follows the same process for all countries that use Compliance Network. This section covers Malaysia-specific requirements and considerations for each step. For the standard how-to steps, see Set up your account .

Setup sequence

Create an organization and assign Malaysia products.
Add companies (one per TIN).
Create ERP System IDs.
Add people and assign roles.

Before you begin

Before starting the account setup, you must make sure:

Your Tax Identification Number (TIN) is verified and active with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) (https://www.hasil.gov.my).
Your Business Registration Number (BRN) is registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM).
Your business is enrolled in the MyInvois program or enrollment is in progress.
Complete the Appointment letter and the Support and change management document before accessing any environment, and share them with Sovos.
If you use intermediary integration, register Sovos as your authorized intermediary in MyInvois before starting. See Supported documents and products.

Create an organization

Follow the standard steps for creating an organization: Set up your account.

Note:
Only workspace administrators can create organizations.
When assigning products, use the following Malaysia e-invoicing product IDs:

my_UBLInvoice__1.0

Use this ID to issue invoices as a supplier.

my_UBLInvoice_Polling_1.0

Use this ID to receive invoices as a buyer.

Note:
Assign all products at the organization level. Companies created under the organization inherit these products by default.

Add companies

Follow the standard steps for adding companies.
Create one company per TIN.

Malaysia requires two identifiers per company.


Identifier	Full name	Issued by	Format	Required	Where to verify
TIN	Tax Identification Number	IRBM	Alphanumeric string	Yes	https://www.hasil.gov.my
BRN	Business Registration Number	Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM)	Varies by entity type	Yes	https://www.ssm.com.my

Note:

Enter the TIN in the primary tax ID field (taxId). Configure the BRN as an additional identifier using schemeID="BRN".

Add people and assign roles

User management is the same across all countries. There are no Malaysia-specific role requirements.

You can manage users in Admin Settings or with the Organizations API endpoint .
