In short

The projects in Tabuk province, NEOM among them, are built by chains of contractors and suppliers, each certified in stages with retention held. Aqid ERP costs each package, holds the retention, approves the purchases and pays crews of any size 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 billing by percentage of completion, no AIA-style forms and no timesheets: a progress invoice is raised for the amount the engineer certified, and the percentage complete is recorded on the project for the report.

Business in Tabuk, and the part Aqid ERP plays

Tabuk is the city of the Kingdom's north-west and the base for the giga-projects in its province, NEOM first among them. Civil contractors, subcontractors, manpower suppliers, building-material traders and the transport firms that move people and material between the city and the sites work from here.

A subcontractor's month is certified work invoiced to the main contractor with retention held back, material and fuel bought under approval, and a large payroll on site. Aqid ERP gives each package a budget and percentage complete, holds retention on its invoices, and runs that payroll through Mudad.

How a business in Tabuk runs on Aqid ERP

Each package its own project

Tag material, fuel, hire, subcontractors and payroll to the package; read its profit and loss against the budget, with the percentage complete recorded.

Certified invoices with retention

Raise the progress invoice for the certified amount, hold the retention on it, and clear it through ZATCA as a tax invoice to the main contractor.

Purchases under approval

Aggregate, diesel and hire orders above your limit wait for a second approver; bills are matched to orders and goods received.

Crews paid on time

Payroll for hundreds of workers with GOSI, overtime and site allowances, the Mudad WPS file, and iqama expiry alerts.

A month at a civil works subcontractor in Tabuk (example)

Say a civil works subcontractor in Tabuk invoices SAR 2,100,000.00 of earthworks certified in October, all at the standard rate. That is SAR 315,000.00 VAT, SAR 2,415,000.00 in total, on tax invoices cleared through ZATCA or simplified invoices reported to it.
A supplier bills SAR 880,000.00 plus SAR 132,000.00 VAT for aggregate and diesel, posted against a purchase order and tagged to the infrastructure package.
Payroll for 140 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 315,000.00 output VAT and SAR 132,000.00 input VAT, so SAR 183,000.00 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.

Payroll

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

Sales

Tax invoices cleared through ZATCA, simplified invoices reported, credit notes, quotes, automatic reminders, and statements by email or WhatsApp.

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.
