Set up a recurring invoice per family for each term or month. It is emailed automatically and can be shared on WhatsApp in one tap; a payment link works once you connect a payment provider, and automatic email reminders follow if it stays unpaid.
When you invoice a term up front, the fee goes to deferred revenue and is recognised month by month. October's profit and loss shows October's tuition, not a lump in September.
Pay teachers, assistants, bus drivers and administrators in one run, in AED, with a WPS SIF file for your bank, gratuity accrued every month and payslips in Arabic and English. The run warns you if its payday falls after the 1st.
Tag fees and running costs to a campus, a stage such as KG or secondary, or the nursery, and allocate salary cost to it by re-tagging the payroll entry or posting an allocation journal. The profit and loss runs for each cost centre.
Term or monthly fee invoices per family, payment links once a payment provider is connected, automatic email reminders, and customer statements and ageing so you can see which families are behind.
Fees invoiced in advance held as deferred revenue and recognised month by month over the term. On every plan.
Unlimited payroll on Growth and Premium: WPS SIF file, gratuity accrued monthly, payslips in two languages and notices before visas, work permits and Emirates IDs expire.
Purchase orders and bills for books, uniforms, supplies and maintenance, with anything over your limit waiting for a second approver.
School buses, classroom technology and furniture as fixed assets, with depreciation run each month in one click.
Run more than one school or company under one login, with consolidated statements as a report: up to 3 companies on Growth and 25 on Premium.
UAE VAT law zero-rates qualifying education. Which of your charges qualify, whether tuition, transport, uniforms, books or trips, is a question for your tax adviser, so agree it before you set up your fee items. Aqid ERP keeps zero-rated, exempt and standard-rated sales apart, so each reaches its own box of the VAT 201; you enter the figures on EmaraTax.
Families are consumers, and sales to consumers are outside the e-invoicing phases announced so far. A school still receives e-invoices from its suppliers, though, so it needs an accredited service provider too: under AED 50M of revenue, appointed by 31 March 2027, with e-invoicing from 1 July 2027. Aqid ERP generates signed PINT AE XML for the invoices it issues; its connection to a provider is in progress and not yet live.
Input VAT at 5% on supplier bills is recorded as you post them. How much of it you can recover depends on your VAT position, which your adviser sets with you.

No. There are no student records, grades or attendance. Keep your school system for that; Aqid ERP sets each family up as a customer and handles fee invoices, VAT and payroll.
Not yet. There is no fee price list by grade, so each family's recurring invoice carries its own fee lines. Enter the fees your regulator has approved; Aqid ERP does not check them against that list.
When you invoice a term up front, the fee goes to deferred revenue and is recognised month by month over the term, so each month shows the tuition it earned.
UAE VAT law zero-rates qualifying education, but which of your fees qualify is for your tax adviser to confirm. Once you agree it, set up each fee item with its rate and Aqid ERP sends it to the right box of the VAT 201.
Sales to consumers are outside the phases announced so far, but a school receives e-invoices from its suppliers, so it still needs an accredited service provider, appointed by 31 March 2027 for revenue under AED 50M. Aqid ERP is not itself a provider.
Yes. Growth and Premium have no employee limit. Each run produces a WPS SIF file, accrues end-of-service gratuity and prints payslips in Arabic and English. No bank has yet accepted an Aqid ERP file, so test the first one with yours.
