Egypt note
Daftra says it is fully integrated with the Egyptian Tax Authority's e-invoice system: it adds the ETA-required e-signature and digital stamp (the signature certificate comes from Egypt Trust), extracts GS1 item codes, calculates Egyptian VAT and can issue e-receipts. It says it charges no extra fee for the Tax Authority connection.
Odoo
Tier S · Published pricesModular open-source ERP with an Egyptian e-invoicing localization
Odoo is a modular ERP whose apps cover accounting, inventory, project, sales and HR, sold as Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or on-premise. Its Egyptian localization includes an ETA e-invoicing module, available since Odoo 15.0, and Odoo's partner directory lists 204 implementation partners in Egypt.

Egypt note
Odoo's Egypt localization connects to the Egyptian Tax Authority's e-invoicing API: the company registers its ERP on the ETA portal, maps products to GS1 or EGS codes, and signs invoices with a USB token from the ETA or Egypt Trust through Odoo's Windows IoT middleware. Odoo says Egyptian e-invoicing is available from Odoo 15.0, and its directory lists 204 partners in Egypt.
