UBS accounting, billing, inventory and payroll, now Access UBS Evo

  • + Classification-code mapping for LHDN e-invoicing

Malaysia note

The Access Group says UBS Evo generates SST-02, SST-02A and Laporan CJ(P) Jadual C-01 forms and maps product classification codes for the LHDN e-invoice mandate, with e-invoices sent and received from within UBS. Existing Sage UBS users should check which UBS version they need for e-invoicing.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-based; no public prices on The Access Group's UBS pages.
