How do you handle Saudi Labour Law and GOSI in Odoo?

We've built (and maintain) custom payroll modules covering GOSI calculations (employer + employee contributions, current rates), end-of-service benefit (EOSB) logic per the Labour Law formula, Hijri-compatible leave policies, and Saudization (Nitaqat) reporting. These ship as part of every Mantiqi Odoo deployment — they're not extra modules you buy.

Does your Odoo deployment cover ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing?

Yes. Our ZATCA Phase 2 integration ships as a connector that sits between Odoo's invoicing module and the Fatoorah platform — invoices created in Odoo get cleared by ZATCA in real time, return with the cryptographic stamp + QR code, and store as legally-signed bilingual PDFs. See our ZATCA service page for the full implementation detail.

Can you migrate us from another ERP (SAP B1, Tally, QuickBooks)?

Yes. Most of our Odoo migrations come from Tally, QuickBooks, SAP B1, or homegrown Access / Excel systems. We script the data migration, run it in parallel against your live system for one billing cycle, and only cut over once the numbers reconcile. Plan on 10–14 weeks for a typical migration depending on data volume.

What Odoo versions do you support?

We deploy on the latest Odoo Long-Term Support (LTS) version — currently Odoo 17 / 18 — and maintain backwards compatibility for clients on older versions until their next planned upgrade. We don't recommend deploying on a non-LTS version for production.

What are Odoo custom modules, and when do you need them?

An Odoo custom module is an add-on that extends Odoo's standard apps for a process they don't cover, such as GOSI payroll, end-of-service benefits, Hijri leave policies or a bespoke approval chain. Mantiqi builds and maintains these modules for Saudi companies, migrates data from SAP Business One, Tally, QuickBooks or spreadsheets, and supports Odoo version upgrades and ZATCA schema changes after go-live.

Typical timeline: About 10 weeks for a typical deployment; 10–14 weeks for a migration from another ERP, depending on data volume.

Why this matters

Odoo's standard HR and Payroll modules don't speak Saudi Labour Law — there's no GOSI calculation, no Hijri date support in leave policies, no end-of-service-benefit logic, no ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoicing out of the box. Most Odoo partners ship a vanilla deployment and tell you to customize it later. You spend the next year fighting your ERP. Mantiqi's Odoo deployments come with the Saudi-compliance modules already built — GOSI rates, EOSB, Hijri leave calendars, Arabic RTL invoices, ZATCA-cleared e-invoicing — so day one you're running an ERP that fits how Saudi businesses actually operate.

Frequently asked questions

For most Saudi mid-market businesses we recommend Odoo Enterprise on Odoo.sh hosting (Odoo's managed cloud) — you get all modules, official support, and you don't manage infra. Community is fine for very small teams or where every riyal counts but you give up several modules and self-host the upgrades. We make the call together in week 1 based on your scale.
