Business in Jazan, and the part Aqid ERP plays

Jazan is the Kingdom's tropical farm: it leads national mango production and grows papaya and bananas, and on the mountains to its east, Al-Dayer and Fifa among them, thousands of farms grow coffee, as the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture counts them. Its port, with a deposit and re-export zone, ships the region's goods.

A trader's season is fruit bought from farms, sorted and packed, and sold fast to wholesalers across the Kingdom; a roaster buys green beans, roasts, packs and sells all year. Aqid ERP costs both at weighted average, shows the margin per product, and puts every sale through ZATCA.

How a business in Jazan runs on Aqid ERP

Fruit in, packed boxes out

Receive fruit and cartons into stock; a production order puts the packed boxes in at weighted average cost, and sales to wholesalers draw them down.

Green beans to roasted coffee

A production order consumes green beans and bags and puts roasted coffee in at its cost, so every bag sold shows its margin.

Wholesalers on account

Tax invoices cleared through ZATCA, each wholesaler with a statement and an ageing, and automatic reminders for what is overdue; shop sales through the till in the browser.

Pickers and packers

Seasonal workers for the harvest go through the same payroll with GOSI, the Mudad WPS file and payslips in Arabic and English.

A month at a fruit trader and coffee roaster in Jazan (example)

  1. Say a fruit trader and coffee roaster in Jazan invoices SAR 520,000.00 of mangoes and roasted coffee sold to wholesalers and shops in October, all at the standard rate. That is SAR 78,000.00 VAT, SAR 598,000.00 in total, on tax invoices cleared through ZATCA or simplified invoices reported to it.
  2. A supplier bills SAR 290,000.00 plus SAR 43,500.00 VAT for fruit bought from farms and green coffee, posted against a purchase order and tagged to the packing shed.
  3. Payroll for 21 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 78,000.00 output VAT and SAR 43,500.00 input VAT, so SAR 34,500.00 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.
