Business in Dammam, and the part Aqid ERP plays

Dammam is the capital of the Eastern Province, with King Abdulaziz Port and the first and second industrial cities beside it. Fabricators, assemblers, building-material producers and industrial suppliers serve the oil and gas companies, the contractors and the region's construction.

A factory's books turn on stock and payroll: material in, production posted, finished goods out on tax invoices, and a payroll of dozens or hundreds with GOSI and the WPS file every month. Aqid ERP does those from one ledger, and the P&L by cost centre shows which line carries the plant.

How a business in Dammam runs on Aqid ERP

Material to finished goods

Receive plate, pipe and consumables into the stores; post a production order that consumes them and puts finished goods into stock at weighted average cost. Disassembly works the same way in reverse.

Purchase orders with approval

Large material orders wait for a second approver above the limit you set; the supplier's bill is matched to the order and the goods received.

Payroll for a large workforce

Monthly payroll for technicians and operators with GOSI by nationality, the Mudad WPS file, overtime and claims, and payslips in Arabic and English.

Cost centres per line

Tag material, labour and overheads to each production line or workshop, and read a profit and loss for each.

A month at a metal fabrication plant in Dammam (example)

  1. Say a metal fabrication plant in Dammam invoices SAR 1,200,000.00 of fabricated steel delivered in October, all at the standard rate. That is SAR 180,000.00 VAT, SAR 1,380,000.00 in total, on tax invoices cleared through ZATCA or simplified invoices reported to it.
  2. A supplier bills SAR 540,000.00 plus SAR 81,000.00 VAT for steel plate and consumables, posted against a purchase order and tagged to the fabrication shop.
  3. Payroll for 65 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.
  4. The VAT return shows SAR 180,000.00 output VAT and SAR 81,000.00 input VAT, so SAR 99,000.00 to pay before any other purchases. Each box opens to the invoices and bills behind it.
  5. These figures only show the arithmetic. How VAT applies to your supplies is for your tax adviser, set up before you start invoicing.

The parts you will use

Inventory

On Growth and Premium, stock across warehouses at weighted average cost, with counts, adjustments, delivery notes, production and disassembly.

Payroll

Monthly payroll in SAR, GOSI, a WPS salary file in the Mudad layout, end-of-service accruals and bilingual payslips.

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.
