Progress billing
Prepare invoices around agreed work progress and the commercial structure of the project.
Contracting invoicing application
Progress billing, advances, retention, and deductions in one controlled workflow
BOT Solutions' Frappe-based application connects contracting commercial logic with invoice documents and configured Saudi e-invoicing workflows.
Beyond a standard invoice
Built around how contracting payments actually move
Contracting invoices often need to represent advances, measured progress, contractual retention, and several deductions before the amount payable is clear.
Advance payment invoicing
Issue the tax invoice required when a mobilization or customer advance is received.
Advance recovery
Allocate and recover the advance through later progress invoices rather than treating it as an unrelated transaction.
Retention management
Calculate contractual retention within the invoice workflow and preserve the amount for later handling.
Deductions and penalties
Represent retention, advance recovery, penalties, taxes, and other project deductions in the calculation.
Multi-currency scenarios
Support relevant foreign-contractor and project invoicing scenarios where multiple currencies are part of the agreed implementation.
Controlled document flow
From project calculation to invoice submission
Capture project values
Record progress, advances, retention, deductions, and the applicable invoice scenario.
Calculate the payable amount
Apply the configured commercial logic before the invoice document is finalized.
Generate documents
Use the configured reports and print formats required for the implementation.
Submit and review
Submit supported invoice documents through the configured ZATCA workflow and review the response.
Delivered application capabilities
The recorded implementation includes four script reports, five print formats, supported 386/388/383 XML document scenarios, and a “Submit to ZATCA Now” action that can bypass the background queue when an authorized user needs immediate submission. Final behavior depends on configuration, document scenario, onboarding, source data, and current ZATCA requirements.
FAQ
Contracting invoicing questions
How is an advance recovered?
The advance is first represented by the applicable tax invoice, then allocated and recovered through later progress invoices according to the configured project workflow.
Which deductions can be handled?
The confirmed scenarios include retention, advance recovery, penalties, taxes, and other project deductions.
Does the application guarantee ZATCA acceptance?
No. The application supports configured invoice and XML workflows, but production acceptance also depends on onboarding, source data, certificates, configuration, and current authority requirements.
