Sandbox scenario · SN016
Processing or conversion of goods
The general-purpose equivalent of toll manufacturing: you process or convert goods belonging to someone else and invoice for the work. Like SN015, it sits in the baseline set for almost every profile, so nearly every integration has to clear it.
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
- SN016
- saleType
- Processing/Conversion of Goods
- FBR description
- Processing / Conversion of Goods
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 SN016
FBR assigns scenarios from your sales tax profile — your business activity and your sector. 55 of the 104 possible profiles are assigned this one.
- Manufacturer All Other Sectors, FMCG, Textile, Telecom, Petroleum, Electricity Distribution, Gas Distribution, Services, Automobile, CNG Stations, Pharmaceuticals, Wholesale / Retails
- Importer every sector
- Distributor All Other Sectors
- Wholesaler All Other Sectors
- Exporter every sector
- Retailer All Other Sectors
- Service Provider All Other Sectors
- Other every sector
What gets SN016 rejected
- 01
The saleType string contains an irregular space — "Processing/ Conversion of Goods". Send it exactly as written or the sale type is not recognised.
- 02
Invoice the processing charge, not the value of the goods processed.
- 03
SN011 is the steel-sector specific version; this is the general one.
You should not have to hand-type SN016
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.
