Business in Hafar Al-Batin, and the part Aqid ERP plays

Hafar Al-Batin, in the north of the Eastern Province, has one of the Kingdom's largest livestock markets, and its chamber of commerce has a committee for the trade. In the weeks before Eid al-Adha traders come from Qassim, Riyadh, Madinah and Dammam to buy, many of them contracting early for their supply. Much of what is sold has been fattened on feed for the season, so the price of feed moves the market.

For a trader the year runs in lots: animals bought from breeders and other traders, barley and fodder bought by the load while prices rise, and the selling packed into a few busy weeks. Aqid ERP keeps the animals as stock by head at weighted average cost, tags each lot's feed and costs to it, and shows what the lot earned once it is sold.

How a business in Hafar Al-Batin runs on Aqid ERP

The flock in stock by head

Sheep, lambs and goats are items counted by head, each pen or yard a warehouse at weighted average cost; breeds or grades you price apart are separate items. Animals bought from a breeder who is not registered for VAT are posted without VAT.

Each fattening lot as a project

Tag the lot's feed bills, its share of the workers' pay and every sale to a project with a budget, and read its profit and loss when the last animal has gone.

Traders on account, families at the pen

Traders from other regions buy on account on tax invoices cleared through ZATCA, with a credit limit that warns or holds the sale; families buying for Eid pay at the till in the browser, cash or card, on a simplified invoice.

Feed bought as prices move

Barley and fodder ordered on purchase orders, large orders waiting for a second approver, with supplier statements; a cash forecast sets the feed bought ahead against the season's sales.

A month at a livestock trader in Hafar Al-Batin (example)

  1. Say a livestock trader in Hafar Al-Batin invoices SAR 1,150,000.00 of sheep sold to traders and butchers in October, all at the standard rate. That is SAR 172,500.00 VAT, SAR 1,322,500.00 in total, on tax invoices cleared through ZATCA or simplified invoices reported to it.
  2. A supplier bills SAR 420,000.00 plus SAR 63,000.00 VAT for barley and fodder for the fattening pens, posted against a purchase order and tagged to the fattening lot.
  3. 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.
  4. The VAT return shows SAR 172,500.00 output VAT and SAR 63,000.00 input VAT, so SAR 109,500.00 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 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.
