Device Registration Overview

The ZATCA (Fatoora) e-invoicing system requires device registration before submitting invoices. This guide covers all aspects of device implementation and management.

Implementation Steps

1. Add Device Trait

First, add the HasZatcaDevice trait to your model:

use Hazem\Zatca\Traits\HasZatcaDevice;

class Store extends Model
{
    use HasZatcaDevice;
}

2. Available Device Methods

The HasZatcaDevice trait provides several methods for device management:

// Core Device Methods
device();                    // Get device relationship
registerZatcaDevice();       // Register new device
active();                    // Activate device
hasZatcaDevice();           // Check device existence
getLatestZatcaDevice();     // Get latest device

// Query Scopes
scopeHasZatca();            // Query scope for models with active devices
scopeDoesntHaveZatca();     // Query scope for models without active devices

Device Registration Process

Basic Registration

$business = Store::find(1);
$device = $business->registerZatcaDevice($otp, [
    'vat_no' => '123456789',
    'ci_no' => 'CR123456',
    'company_name' => 'My Company',
    'company_address' => 'Street Address',
    'company_building' => 'Building 123',
    'company_plot_identification' => 'Plot-456',
    'company_city_subdivision' => 'District',
    'company_city' => 'Riyadh',
    'company_postal' => '12345',
    'company_country' => 'SA',
    'solution_name' => 'MADA',
    'common_name' => 'Device-001'
])->active();

Using Device Facade

The Device Facade provides high-level methods for device management:

// Device Registration
Device::register(string|int $businessId, string $otp, array $companyData);

// Device Status Management
Device::activate(string|int $businessId);
Device::hasDevice(string|int $businessId);
Device::getDevice(string|int $businessId);
Device::getDeviceStatus(string|int $businessId);
Device::isDeviceActive(string|int $businessId);

Device Database Schema

The devices_zatca table stores all device-related information:

Column	Type	Description
id	Primary Key	Unique identifier
deviceable_type	String	Model type
deviceable_id	Integer	Model ID
request_id	String	ZATCA request ID
status	String	Device status
disposition_message	Text	Status message
binary_security_token	Text	Security token
secret	Text	Device secret
errors	JSON	Error messages
private_key	Text	Private key
public_key	Text	Public key
csr_content	Text	CSR content
created_at	Timestamp	Creation date
updated_at	Timestamp	Last update date

Security Considerations

Device Security Features

1. Private Key Protection

   • Secure storage of device private keys

   • Encryption at rest

   • Access control through Laravel policies

2. Token Management

   • Secure handling of binary security tokens

   • Automated token refresh

   • Token validation on each request

3. Error Handling

   • Comprehensive error logging

   • Secure error message storage

   • Error tracking and monitoring

Best Practices

1. Device Registration

   • Always validate OTP before registration

   • Store device credentials securely

   • Implement proper error handling

2. Device Management

   • Regularly check device status

   • Implement automatic device reactivation

   • Monitor device errors and warnings

3. Security

   • Use environment variables for sensitive data

   • Implement proper access controls

   • Regular security audits

Common Issues and Solutions

Device Registration Issues

1. Invalid OTP

   • Ensure OTP is valid and not expired

   • Verify OTP format matches ZATCA requirements

2. Registration Failures

   • Check company data completeness

   • Verify network connectivity

   • Validate API credentials

3. Device Activation

   • Ensure proper activation sequence

   • Check for missing credentials

   • Verify device status before use

Environment Configuration

Add these device-related variables to your .env file:

ZATCA_LIVE=false

Error Handling Examples

try {
    $device = $business->registerZatcaDevice($otp, $companyData);
} catch (DeviceRegistrationException $e) {
    // Handle registration errors
    Log::error('Device registration failed: ' . $e->getMessage());
} catch (ValidationException $e) {
    // Handle validation errors
    $errors = $e->errors();
}
