What you get

Purchase orders to bills

The bill starts from the order, so quantities and prices are not typed twice.

An approval limit

Orders and bills at or over the amount you set wait for someone with the right to approve them.

Payment requests and batches

Request, approve and release supplier payments, and download the payment file for your bank.

Expense claims

Staff submit claims with receipts; the approved ones are reimbursed and posted.

Landed cost and supplier prices

Spread freight and customs over the items they brought in, and keep each supplier's last price.

Questions

Who can approve?

Anyone whose role carries the approve-payments permission. The person who submitted cannot approve their own.

Is withholding tax handled?

In Saudi Arabia, yes: withholding on payments to non-residents is taken off the payment and owed to ZATCA.

Can I see what I owe each supplier?

Yes: supplier statements and the payables ageing, by supplier and by due date.

In Saudi Arabia

Paying suppliers abroad brings two Saudi obligations. Services from a supplier with no fixed establishment in the Kingdom fall under the reverse charge: you account for the 15% VAT yourself and recover it under the normal rules, with both entries in the return. Payments to non-residents can also carry withholding tax, which Aqid ERP takes off the payment, records as owed to ZATCA and summarises for the monthly form. When a supplier sends a credit note, your input VAT is adjusted in the period in which you receive it.
