Sandbox scenario · SN008
Sale of Third Schedule goods
Third Schedule goods are taxed on printed retail price rather than on the transaction value — which is why the API carries a dedicated fixedNotifiedValueOrRetailPrice field. This scenario checks your software populates that field instead of computing tax on what you actually charged the buyer.
What to send
These strings are matched by FBR's API. Send them exactly as published — including any irregular spacing or punctuation, which is deliberate and not a typo.

scenarioId is sandbox-only. It is required on sandbox submissions and must be omitted from production invoices — FBR derives the treatment from the sale type once you are live.

What gets SN008 rejected
- 01
fixedNotifiedValueOrRetailPrice must carry the retail price. Leaving it at 0.00 while charging tax at the standard rate is the classic failure here.
- 02
Tax is calculated on retail price even when your selling price to a distributor is lower.
- 03
Assigned across FMCG, wholesale and retail profiles — if you sell branded consumer goods, expect this one.
