Questions from Saudi operators
What we hear most from CFOs and Finance Directors in Saudi Arabia.
ERPNext can be configured to produce UBL 2.1 XML invoices meeting ZATCA Phase 2 structural requirements. The cryptographic stamp (CSID) requires registration with ZATCA's Fatoorah platform, and that registration is done by the business, not by Kuwa Advisory. We configure the invoice structure and document the CSID registration steps.
GOSI is configured as Salary Components: 9% employee deduction for Saudi nationals on applicable earnings, 12% employer contribution for Saudi nationals, and 2% employer contribution for expatriates. Components post to the correct GOSI payable accounts on each payroll run.
Yes. The ERPNext HR module stores employee nationality at the employee record level. We configure a custom report, or use the employee list filtered by the nationality field, to produce the workforce composition data Nitaqat requires. HRDF and specific ministry portal submissions remain a manual step performed by the client team.
ERPNext has a native Arabic translation. RTL layout and Arabic labels are available in the system interface. Print formats can be configured in Arabic. We enable the Arabic locale and test critical print formats during the implementation.
Scope-dependent. A focused trading or distribution company with standard modules typically runs 8 to 14 weeks from process mapping to go-live. We scope precisely after the discovery call.
