Sandbox scenario · SN012
Sale of petroleum products
Petroleum products carry their own sale type and their own rate structure, often including fixed amounts per litre alongside a percentage. Assigned to every profile registered in the Petroleum sector.
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.
Who has to pass SN012
FBR assigns scenarios from your sales tax profile — your business activity and your sector. 8 of the 104 possible profiles are assigned this one.
- Manufacturer Petroleum
- Importer Petroleum
- Distributor Petroleum
- Wholesaler Petroleum
- Exporter Petroleum
- Retailer Petroleum
- Service Provider Petroleum
- Other Petroleum
What gets SN012 rejected
- 01
Rates for petroleum can combine a percentage with a per-unit amount — the SaleTypeToRate endpoint returns descriptions such as "18% along with rupees 60 per kilogram". Use the returned rate description verbatim.
- 02
Unit of measurement must match what the HS code permits; check the HS_UOM endpoint rather than assuming litres.
You should not have to hand-type SN012
We are building a free FBR digital invoicing app that works out which scenarios your profile needs, fills them in, shows you exactly what will be sent, and submits them to the sandbox on one button. Tell us if you want it.
