What accounting software in Saudi Arabia has to do
The rules that apply in Saudi Arabia, and how far Aqid ERP goes with each today.
- In the product
ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing
Signed UBL XML, QR code, counter and hash chain per device; clearance and reporting, tested against ZATCA's own validator. Connect your company from the app with your Fatoora OTP.
- In the product
VAT 15 % and the ZATCA return
The return laid out box by box from your invoices and bills, with the documents behind every figure. You file it on the portal; Aqid ERP does not file for you.

Monthly payroll in SAR with GOSI by nationality and date, a Mudad WPS file for your bank and article 84 end-of-service accruals.

Books in Arabic and English
An append-only ledger, a Saudi chart of accounts, bank reconciliation, multi-currency and consolidation across companies.
Everything runs on one ledger
Invoices, purchases, payroll, stock and projects post to the same books, so the reports are never a second copy of the truth.
VAT returns
Aqid ERP fills the ZATCA return from the ledger as you work. Open any box and see the invoices and bills behind it.
Payroll & WPS
Run the month, check it, pay it from your bank and file the WPS: GOSI, end of service and payslips come out of the same run.
Inventory
Each warehouse carries its own inventory account. Sell, receive, move or count, and the cost of sales and the stock value move with it.
Accounting & reports
Every posting is kept as it was made. Reports, reconciliations and consolidated statements read from the same ledger, in Arabic or English.
Corporate tax
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.
Sales
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.
Purchasing
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.
Projects & cost centres
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.
Manufacturing
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.
Several companies
Keep each company's books apart and read them together: consolidated statements in one currency, with ownership shares and intercompany balances shown.
Spreadsheets, desktop software or cloud accounting?
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 Saudi Arabia'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 |
Switching is a plan you approve
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.
