Solution:

1. Ensure that the system time is accurate and synchronized.
2. According to the regulations, B2C invoices must be submitted within 24 hours, while B2B invoices must be submitted in real-time.
3. Both the QR code and XML should reflect the invoice issue datetime in the same timezone.
4. It is recommended to use UTC timezone for reporting, as it is universal and easily convertible to any local timezone. Using local timezones without a clear indication (such as 'Z' for UTC) may lead to inconsistencies unless processed within the same timezone.
5. To comply with UTC standards, append the suffix 'Z' to both the QR code's issue_datetime and the IssueTime field in the XML to ensure alignment.
