Each client contract or site is a project or cost centre. Its invoices, consumables and subcontractor bills land there, and the site team's payroll cost is moved to it by re-tagging the payroll entry or with an allocation journal, so every site has its own P&L.
The fixed monthly fee runs as a recurring invoice, emailed on the same day each month. Call-outs and extra works go on their own invoice tagged to the same site, and a retention the client holds back sits in its own receivable until it is released.
Office and site staff in one monthly run in AED. Overtime hours entered on the draft run are priced on the basic wage at plus 25%, and plus 50% between 10 pm and 4 am; gratuity is accrued and the WPS SIF file comes out of the same run.
Residence visa, work permit, Emirates ID, passport and health insurance dates sit on each employee record, with notices 30 days and 7 days before expiry and a 60-day list on the Employees tab.
No employee limit on Growth, overtime on the basic wage, the WPS SIF salary file, end-of-service gratuity and payslips in Arabic and English.
Residence visa, work permit, Emirates ID and passport dates on every record, with notices before they lapse.
One cost centre per contract or site, branches by emirate where you have them, a revenue and cost budget per project, and a P&L per tag.
Monthly contract invoices on schedule, extra-works invoices, retention held in its own receivable and statements with ageing for each client.
Cleaning materials and spare parts in several warehouses at weighted average cost, transferred to sites and counted. Growth or Premium.
Purchase orders for materials and subcontractors with an approval limit in AED, VAT included, so large orders need a second sign-off.
Each contract invoice carries 5% VAT, input tax on materials and subcontractors is collected as you post bills, and the VAT 201 is laid out from the ledger with standard-rated sales under the emirate of each branch or company. You enter the figures on EmaraTax by the 28th day after the period ends; the layout has not yet been checked with a live filing.
FM invoices go to building owners, developers, businesses and government bodies, so they fall under the e-invoicing mandate. An FM company with AED 50M of revenue or more transmits from 1 January 2027; below that, it appoints an accredited service provider by 31 March 2027 and transmits from 1 July 2027. Aqid ERP signs each invoice as PINT AE XML now, but its connection to a provider is not yet live and it is not a provider itself.
Credit notes to business clients follow the same dates as invoices. Confirm your band and dates with the Ministry of Finance and the FTA.
