In short

Jubail's contractors and suppliers work inside and around the petrochemical plants: shutdowns, maintenance, fabrication, manpower. Aqid ERP costs each contract, holds its retention, keeps the stores, and runs a payroll of hundreds 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 hazardous-materials, batch or safety-record tracking, and no billing by percentage of completion: progress invoices are raised for the amount certified, with retention held on them.

Business in Jubail, and the part Aqid ERP plays

Jubail Industrial City, under the Royal Commission, is one of the largest petrochemical complexes anywhere. Around the plants work the maintenance and turnaround contractors, the fabricators, the industrial suppliers and the manpower and security firms that keep them running.

Their books are project books with a large payroll attached: a turnaround contract certified in stages with retention, crews of a hundred or more paid on time through Mudad, stores of consumables and spares. Aqid ERP does those; it does not track hazardous materials or safety records, which stay in your HSE system.

How a business in Jubail runs on Aqid ERP

Turnarounds as projects

Each contract carries its budget, its percentage complete and every cost tagged to it, so the margin is visible while the shutdown is still running.

Stores of consumables and spares

Keep consumables and spares in stock at weighted average cost, issue them to a contract with a stock adjustment, and count them at period end.

Crews paid through Mudad

Payroll for large crews with GOSI by nationality, overtime, site allowances and the WPS file in the Mudad layout, with document expiry alerts for iqamas.

Subcontractors and hire under approval

Orders above your limit wait for a second approver; bills are matched to orders and tagged to the contract.

A month at a plant maintenance contractor in Jubail (example)

Say a plant maintenance contractor in Jubail invoices SAR 1,500,000.00 of shutdown and maintenance work certified in October, all at the standard rate. That is SAR 225,000.00 VAT, SAR 1,725,000.00 in total, on tax invoices cleared through ZATCA or simplified invoices reported to it.
A supplier bills SAR 620,000.00 plus SAR 93,000.00 VAT for scaffolding hire and consumables, posted against a purchase order and tagged to the turnaround contract.
Payroll for 110 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 225,000.00 output VAT and SAR 93,000.00 input VAT, so SAR 132,000.00 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 parts you will use

Projects and cost centres

Tag every line to a project, a cost centre or a branch; profit by job, a budget and percentage complete per project, and retention held on contract invoices.

Purchasing

Purchase orders and supplier bills, with an approval limit so large orders wait for a second approver, and supplier statements.

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.
