Introduction
According to the LHDN e-Invoice Specific Guidelines, buyers are required to issue a self-billed e-Invoice in certain scenarios. This typically applies when the seller is unable or not required to issue an invoice—such as when dealing with foreign suppliers, individuals not engaged in business, or certain financial transactions.
This guide walks you through the steps to create and submit a self-billed e-Invoice using Bukku.
Steps to Create a Self-Billed E-Invoice
Step 1: Create Your Purchase Bill
Once you receive an invoice or billing details from your supplier, go to Purchase > Bill to create a purchase bill as usual. Refer to our Creating a Purchase Bill guide if needed.
Step 2: Prepare for MyInvois Submission
If the bill qualifies as a self-billed e-Invoice and you want it validated individually, ensure the following:
Contact is MyInvois Ready:
Classification of Products and Services is selected:
Step 3: Choose the Right MyInvois Control Option
Under the Control section of the bill, you’ll find MyInvois Control settings:
Normal | The bill will not be submitted to LHDN's MyInvois, but will be included in a consolidated e-invoice. |
Validate | The bill will be submitted to LHDN's MyInvois for validation via Bukku. |
External | The bill has already been validated through another system and will not be submitted to LHDN's MyInvois again. |
Step 4: Save and Submit
When you save the bill with the "Ready" status and "Validate" control, a pop-up message will confirm your submission to LHDN's MyInvois.
Step 5: View Validation Info
Once the bill is submitted:
You will see a new section titled MyInvois Info in the bill.
The system displays the validation information from LHDN's MyInvois.
Step 6: Check Submission Status Icons
After validation:
A green checkmark icon appears—indicating the bill has been validated.
A padlock icon means the bill is now read-only due to LHDN validation or finalisation.
A green checkmark will also be visible beside the bill number in your list view.
Step 7: Confirm Validation Status and Details
Once validated:
At the bottom of the bill, you’ll see the note stating, "This document is a validated self-billed e-invoice by LHDN."
You can also click the Validation Info button to view full validation details directly on the MyInvois Portal.
