eInvoicing: MSIC displayed in MyInvoce differs from UBS setup

MSIC code showing differently in LHDN portal not following the MSIC code based on item invoice

Updated over a month ago

You may notice that the MSIC code displayed in the MyInvois Portal is different from the MSIC code configured in your UBS system. This situation can occur if you have set up more than one MSIC code for e-Invoicing in UBS.

This article explains why this happens and confirms that it does not affect your e-Invoice submission.

Why this happens?

  1. Multiple MSIC codes in UBS

    UBS allows you to:

    1. Set up multiple MSIC codes

    2. Link different MSIC codes to specific items or transactions for eInvoicing purposes

  2. Principal Business Activity in LHDN

    The MSIC code displayed in the MyInvois Portal is bases on the principal business activity registered under your company's taxpayer profile with LHDN.

  3. Portal Display Limitation

    Although multiple MSIC codes can be configured and transmitted from UBS, the MyInvois Portal will only display the primary MSIC maintained in your LHDN profile.

Important Clarification

  • The system has not transmitted an incorrect MSIC code

  • The display in the MyInvois Portal reflects the principal MSIC registered with LHDN.

  • The validation and submission of the eInvoice batch are not affected.

What you should do

No action is required if:

  • Your principal business activity in LHDN is correct.

  • The eInvoice status shows successful validation and submission.

If you need to update your principal MSIC, please liaise directly with LHDN.
