/ ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing, Fatoora
How does Odoo meet ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing?
Every invoice Odoo raises is signed, hashed, given a QR code and sent to ZATCA’s Fatoora platform, then cleared before the buyer sees it or reported within twenty four hours, by invoice type.
Onboarding
Certificates first, then live invoices
Your instance raises a signing request with a one-time password from the Fatoora portal, passes ZATCA’s invoice, credit-note and debit-note checks, then receives its production certificate. Every branch and device is rehearsed in a sandbox.
Standard invoices
Cleared by ZATCA before you send them
A standard tax invoice to a business buyer leaves Odoo as UBL 2.1 XML and is cleared by ZATCA first. The stamped document comes back and is filed against the invoice record.
Simplified invoices
Stamped at the till, reported to ZATCA
A simplified tax invoice for a consumer is stamped in Odoo POS and printed with its QR code on the spot. If the connection drops, tills keep selling and the queue clears once it is back.
Integrity
Hash chain, stamp and signed archive
Each document carries a UUID, a counter value and the previous invoice’s hash, so the sequence cannot be edited or gapped unseen. The signed XML is archived where your auditor can reach it.

Odoo beside the other ERPs on a Saudi shortlist.
Most Saudi shortlists put SAP Business One, NetSuite or Dynamics 365 Business Central next to Odoo. Our comparisons weigh licensing, customisation, localisation and upgrade cost, so you decide on evidence.

E-commerce
Orders, prices and stock move between Odoo and your Salla, Zid, Shopify or Adobe Commerce store the moment they change. Odoo raises each order’s invoice, so the document ZATCA sees matches the sale.
and moreERP Systems
Leaving SAP Business One, Oracle, Sage or QuickBooks should not cost you your history. We map old accounts onto Odoo and flag exceptions. GOWell Petro moved manual asset, rental and purchase workflows across the same way.
and moreEDI & Marketplace
Distributor feeds, retail-chain purchase orders and marketplace sales arrive as one stream inside Odoo, so a promotion that spikes on one channel cannot quietly lose orders on another.
and moreShipping Gateways
Goods leaving Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam meet carrier rates that shift daily. Each carrier connects through its own API, shipments route to the cheapest reliable option and delays surface early.
and moreTaxation
ZATCA first: standard invoices clear before they reach the buyer and simplified invoices are reported inside twenty four hours. The VAT return comes from the same ledger, with other markets’ tax engines synced to every transaction.
and morePayment Gateways
Most Saudi cards present as mada, so your acquirer’s terminal is wired to Odoo POS and each payment reference posts with its order. Online providers such as Tamara settle to their own journals.
and moreOther Integrations
Bank statement feeds, BI dashboards and document tools all read from Odoo, which becomes the hub. Data keeps moving both ways, so month-end never waits on a manual export.
and more/ How we deliver
Four stages, each one closing on a working demo.
You see working Odoo at every checkpoint. Timelines follow scope, from 8 to 12 weeks for a small implementation to 6 to 12 months for an enterprise rollout.
Step 01
Requirement Analysis
Workshops with your finance, warehouse and sales leads map your processes, commercial registrations and ZATCA integration wave onto the modules phase one needs.
Step 02
Planning & Design
Data model, chart of accounts, Arabic and English document set and rollout order agreed in phases before configuration starts.
Step 03
Development & Customisation
Modules configured, integrations built, and the e-invoicing link taken through ZATCA’s compliance checks in a sandbox while your team tests.
Step 04
Testing & Deployment
Migration dry runs, user training and a go-live window your finance team picks, usually just after a VAT return, not just before one.
/ Cost drivers
Four things set the price of your Odoo rollout.
Two quotes only compare when the scope behind them matches. We size these four drivers, with Arabic content and training running across all of them, before any number reaches you.
Structure
Commercial registrations, branches and warehouses
Each legal entity carries its own books, VAT registration and ZATCA onboarding, and each warehouse its own stock rules. Both multiply configuration and testing, not just licences.

Third-party logistics links, warehouse automation and ABC and XYZ analysis for freight moving through the ports and land borders.
See Logistics case studies →/ Saudi localisation
Arabic, mada, GOSI and group books, inside Odoo.
Odoo’s Saudi localisation supplies the chart of accounts, VAT positions and e-invoicing module. We build the rest on top: payments, Arabic documents, payroll and group structure.
Payments
mada in store, Tamara at online checkout
Your acquirer’s mada terminal is wired to Odoo POS, so each payment lands with its journal entry. Online, Tamara and the international card brands reconcile to their own settlement journals.
Language
Arabic first, right to left throughout
Arabic installs as a full language, flipping back office, portal and website to right to left. Invoices, delivery notes and quotations carry Arabic on the face, bilingual where customers want both.
People
Payroll with GOSI and end of service
Payroll posts GOSI contributions, end-of-service accruals and contract-specific allowances, and reports headcount in a form the Saudization rules recognise, inside Odoo rather than a side spreadsheet.
Group structure
Several registrations, one Odoo database
Holding company, operating entities and branches run as separate companies in one database, each keeping separate books, a VAT number and ZATCA certificates. The same certified consultants stay on the account: see our Odoo Gold Partner credentials.

/ Before you choose
Questions about Odoo, Saudi Arabia and ZATCA.
How long does an Odoo implementation in Saudi Arabia take?
Small implementations take 8 to 12 weeks, mid-market 12 to 24 weeks and enterprise rollouts 6 to 12 months; upgrades take 3 to 8 weeks. Leaving SAP Business One or QuickBooks fits inside those bands, and ZATCA onboarding runs in a sandbox during configuration.
Where is your Saudi team based, and do you come on site?
In Al Khobar, at Brainvire Saudi Arabia. A dedicated team runs your project on your working week and is on site in Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam whenever the work needs it. Every location is on our global presence page.
What drives the cost of an Odoo implementation in Saudi Arabia?
Four things: commercial registrations and warehouses, the modules in phase one, integrations and POS devices, and the state of your current data. Arabic content and training run across all four. Every quote follows a written scope.
Can Odoo handle ZATCA Phase 2 clearance and reporting for our invoices?
Yes. We deliver a ZATCA Phase 2 integration, built and tested against the published specification. Phase 2 applies from 1 January 2023, with taxpayers moving in by wave, and your production certificate from ZATCA is the proof it works.
Can one Odoo database run several of our commercial registrations?
Yes. Each registration runs as its own company with separate books, VAT registration and ZATCA certificates, sharing one product and customer master. Intercompany entries post to both companies together, and consolidated reporting sits over the top.
Will our team and customers see Odoo in Arabic?
Yes. Arabic installs as a full language, so back office, portal and website read right to left, and documents can be bilingual. Custom fields and report layouts are translated in the build. Meetings and support run in English.
Can Odoo take mada payments in store and online?
Yes. In store, your acquirer’s mada terminal connects to Odoo POS and the payment reference posts with the order. Online, mada runs through a gateway your bank supports, beside Tamara and international cards, each settling to its own journal.
What Odoo work can we see before we commit?
Start with the four case cards on this page: GAFCO’s move off SAP Business One, presented at Odoo Experience 2021; Ajmal Perfumes’ Odoo CRM and POS; UVJC’s nine departments on Odoo 19; and Online Tires’ 200+ locations on one Odoo back office.
Who supports our Odoo system once it is live?
The team that built it, under a managed arrangement: upgrades, monitoring, backups, an improvement backlog and training for new starters. Adoption decides whether an ERP pays back, so support covers your people as well as the software.
What kind of company is Odoo?
Odoo is a Belgian software company. It makes a suite of open source business apps, from Accounting, Inventory and Manufacturing to CRM, Point of Sale and Website. Its founder and CEO is Fabien Pinckaers, and its head office is in Grand Rosière, Belgium. Brainvire implements Odoo as an Odoo partner.
Is Odoo ERP available in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Odoo runs on Odoo Online, on Odoo.sh or on your own servers, and Odoo itself provides a Saudi chart of accounts, VAT positions and an e-invoicing module for ZATCA. Arabic installs as a full language. We build the rest of the Saudi setup on top: mada payments, Arabic documents, GOSI payroll and group structure.
Why choose Odoo for a Saudi business?
One Odoo database can run accounting, sales, purchase, inventory management, manufacturing, POS and payroll, with ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing built into the ledger and Arabic right to left throughout. Several commercial registrations can share it as separate companies. You can start with a few modules and add more in later phases.
Is Odoo better than Zoho?
It depends on what the system has to run. Odoo puts accounting, inventory, manufacturing, POS and CRM in one database, with a Saudi chart of accounts and a ZATCA e-invoicing module from Odoo itself. Customization is built as separate modules and kept upgrade-safe. If Zoho is on your shortlist too, compare both on the processes you run today, the integrations you need and the total cost over several years, not on the app list alone.
How is the Odoo subscription priced?
Odoo sells three plans: One App Free, Standard and Custom. Standard and Custom are billed per user per month. Standard includes all apps on Odoo Online. Custom adds multi-company, the external API and a choice of Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or on-premises hosting, with Odoo.sh hosting billed on top. The subscription is one part of the budget. The project is the other, sized by the four cost drivers on this page.
Which Odoo modules do Saudi businesses start with?
Many groups start with Accounting, Sales, Purchase and Inventory, with ZATCA e-invoicing live from the first invoice. Manufacturing, POS, payroll and field service often follow in later phases. Sequencing is the biggest lever you control on cost and time, so we agree it module by module at the planning stage.
Where can our Odoo database be hosted?
In three places: on Odoo Online, on Odoo.sh, or on servers you control, on your premises or with a cloud provider of your choice. Odoo Online hosts databases without custom modules, so a build with custom modules runs on Odoo.sh or your own servers. Where your sector has data residency requirements, we settle the hosting choice at the architecture stage.
