In short

Abha and Khamis Mushait are one market in the Asir mountains: summer visitors in Abha, a trading and car-dealing centre in Khamis Mushait, and coffee on the terraces. Aqid ERP keeps the stock, invoices dealers and buyers through ZATCA, sells at the counter through the till, and runs payroll with GOSI and the Mudad file. The Growth plan fits, at SAR 111 a month, with a 60-day free trial. Not built yet: There is no VIN, serial or chassis tracking and no profit-margin VAT scheme for used vehicles: each sale is invoiced on its price, so take your adviser's view before selling used cars.

Business in Abha and Khamis Mushait, and the part Aqid ERP plays

Abha, the capital of Asir, draws domestic tourists in summer for its mild mountain climate, and its Tuesday souq sells honey, ghee, clothing and crafts. Khamis Mushait, beside it, is a trading centre, with a new site laid out for car showrooms and an auction yard; the second Asir industrial city lies north-west of it, and the region's farms are planting coffee on a large scale.

So the cities' small businesses are showrooms and traders, resorts and chalets that live on the summer, and souq sellers and coffee farms. Aqid ERP gives each stock and a counter where it needs them, keeps the season's staff on one payroll, and reads each branch apart.

How a business in Abha runs on Aqid ERP

Vehicles and goods in stock

Vehicles, spare parts or souq goods held as items at weighted average cost, received against the supplier's bill and drawn down by each sale.

Tax invoices and counter sales

Sales to companies cleared through ZATCA as tax invoices; sales to individuals as simplified invoices, from the sales screen or the till in the browser.

Each branch on its own

Tag revenue and costs to the showroom, the shop or the resort, and read a profit and loss for each, season by season.

Summer and harvest staff

Staff added for the summer or the harvest go through the same payroll with GOSI, the Mudad WPS file and payslips in Arabic and English.

A month at a car showroom in Abha (example)

Say a car showroom in Abha invoices SAR 690,000.00 of vehicles sold to retail buyers in October, all at the standard rate. That is SAR 103,500.00 VAT, SAR 793,500.00 in total, on tax invoices cleared through ZATCA or simplified invoices reported to it.
A supplier bills SAR 520,000.00 plus SAR 78,000.00 VAT for vehicles bought from a distributor, posted against a purchase order and tagged to the showroom.
Payroll for 14 staff runs with GOSI contributions and a WPS salary file in the Mudad layout, and its cost is posted to the books from the same run.
The VAT return shows SAR 103,500.00 output VAT and SAR 78,000.00 input VAT, so SAR 25,500.00 to pay before any other purchases. Each box opens to the invoices and bills behind it.
These figures only show the arithmetic. How VAT applies to your supplies is for your tax adviser, set up before you start invoicing.

The rules in Saudi Arabia, and what Aqid ERP does with them

E-invoicing: ZATCA's Phase 2 reaches VAT-registered businesses in waves. Aqid ERP produces the UBL 2.1 XML, the XAdES signature and the QR code, clears tax invoices and reports simplified ones once your device is connected with an OTP from the Fatoora portal. It implements Phase 2 end to end and is tested against ZATCA's published rules; its listing in ZATCA's solution-provider directory is in progress.

VAT: the standard rate is 15%. The return is prepared from the books in ZATCA's layout, and every box opens to the invoices and bills behind it. Filing on the ZATCA portal stays with you or your adviser.

Payroll: GOSI contributions by nationality, a WPS salary file in the Mudad layout, end-of-service accruals and payslips in Arabic and English, posted to the books from the same run. Employee records carry document expiry alerts for iqamas and passports.

Zakat and income tax are not computed; the year-end statements they start from are kept as you work, for you or your adviser.

Questions

Does Aqid ERP handle the margin scheme for used cars at a Khamis Mushait showroom?

No. There is no profit-margin VAT scheme and no VIN tracking: each vehicle is a stock item at weighted average cost, and each sale is invoiced on its price through ZATCA. Ask your tax adviser how VAT applies to your used-vehicle sales first.
