Confirm that your installation supports SVDP. Verify whether each disclosure is eligible under the latest LHDN rules. Choosing SVDP in AutoCount does not itself guarantee compliance or penalty relief.

1. Enable e-Invoice SVDP in AutoCount

  1. Open e-Invoice → e-Invoice Setting.
  2. Click Setting.
  3. Tick Enable e-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP).
  4. Click OK to save.

Expected result: The SVDP checkbox becomes available in supported transaction forms.

One month per consolidated submission: Do not combine multiple transaction months into a single SVDP consolidated e-Invoice.

4. Understand late-submission detection

Rev 45 detects potentially late consolidated submissions. When generated on or before the 7th, submissions covering two months earlier or older are flagged. When generated after the 7th, submissions for the previous month or older are flagged.

AutoCount possible late consolidated e-Invoice submission warning

When the SVDP prompt appears, Yes continues using SVDP and No continues without SVDP.

If SVDP is disabled in settings, AutoCount prompts you to enable it.

5. Handle the multiple-month warning

AutoCount warns when a consolidated date range spans more than one transaction month. Choosing Yes still generates the document; choosing No aborts it so you can revise the period.

Recommended: Select No, change the date range to one month, and generate a separate consolidated e-Invoice for each applicable month.

6. Verify and track SVDP submissions

  1. Open the relevant Invoice or Consolidated e-Invoice listing.
  2. Show the e-Invoice SVDP column using Column Chooser.
  3. Review the SVDP indicator.
  4. Check the validated document details in MyInvois Portal.
