What a business in Oman needs from its accounting software, checked against Aqid ERP point by point — including what it does not do yet.
The rules that apply in Oman, and how far Aqid ERP goes with each today.
The Tax Authority's e-invoicing system, Fawtara, starts with a pilot from August 2026 and is required from 1 April 2027 for taxpayers above OMR 5 million, and from 1 October 2027 for everyone else. Aqid ERP issues bilingual tax invoices with the buyer's VATIN but does not yet produce the PINT OM format or transmit to Fawtara.
The Tax Authority's return laid out box by box from the ledger, with the reverse charge and deferred import VAT, and the documents behind each figure. Not yet checked against the TA portal; you file it there yourself.
Monthly payroll in OMR with Social Protection Fund contributions by nationality and the end-of-service gratuity under article 61 for expatriates, split at 31 July 2023. A WPS salary file for Oman's banks is not yet produced.
An append-only ledger with three-decimal rial amounts, an Omani chart of accounts, withholding tax, bank reconciliation, multi-currency and consolidation across companies.
Invoices, purchases, payroll, stock and projects post to the same books, so the reports are never a second copy of the truth.
Oman's Tax Authority is bringing in e-invoicing through Fawtara: a pilot from August 2026, then required from 1 April 2027 for taxpayers above OMR 5 million and from 1 October 2027 for everyone else. Until Aqid ERP connects to it, every invoice leaves as a bilingual tax invoice with the VAT and the VATINs the return needs.
Aqid ERP fills Oman's VAT return from the ledger as you work. Open any box and see the invoices and bills behind it.
Run the month, check it and pay it from your bank: SPF contributions, the gratuity and payslips come out of the same run.
Each warehouse carries its own inventory account. Sell, receive, move or count, and the cost of sales and the stock value move with it.
Every posting is kept as it was made. Reports, reconciliations and consolidated statements read from the same ledger, in Arabic or English.
Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow and changes in equity, kept as you work, for you or your adviser to prepare the return from.
Send a quote, turn it into a sales order, deliver and invoice it, and collect: every step is one click from the last, and each posts to the ledger as it happens.
Raise a purchase order, receive the bill against it, approve what is over your limit and pay suppliers in one batch, with every step on the record.
Tag each line to a project, a cost centre or a branch as you work. The reports split by that tag, so profit by job is a filter, not a spreadsheet.
Define what goes into a product, release a production order, complete it batch by batch, and the cost of what you made lands in stock with the variance explained.
Keep each company's books apart and read them together: consolidated statements in one currency, with ownership shares and intercompany balances shown.
The three ways small businesses keep books, side by side. The desktop column is a typical installed product, not any one brand.
| What you need | Spreadsheets | Desktop software | Aqid ERP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Invoices the tax authority accepts | Made by hand, no signed XML or QR | Depends on the version and add-ons | Built to Oman's rules |
| Arabic and English | Two files to keep in step | Often one language per installation | Both, switched at any time |
| Owner, team and accountant on the same figures | Copies sent by email | On the office computer | In the browser and on the phone, with roles |
| An audit trail | Any cell can be overwritten | Varies by product | Append-only ledger; every action logged |
| Keeping up when the rules change | Yours to do | Usually a new version to install | Included in the plan |
Bring contacts, accounts, items, opening balances and open documents from your current system. Every import shows what it will do before it writes a row.
Start free, pick a plan when you are ready.
