ERP Solutions for Qatar — BC & LS Central
Business Central and LS Central implementations, Qatar VAT setup, QFC entity configuration, and ongoing ERP support — for businesses across Doha, Lusail, Al Wakrah, and the wider State of Qatar.
Qatar introduced VAT as part of the GCC VAT framework. Business Central handles Qatar VAT through the same tax posting group infrastructure used across the GCC — configured specifically for Qatar's categories, return periods, and invoice requirements.
- Qatar VAT posting group configuration
- Tax invoice layout (Arabic + English, QAR)
- Standard-rated, zero-rated, and exempt supply mapping
- VAT return preparation and audit trail
Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) entities operate under a separate legal and tax framework — 10% Corporate Tax on locally sourced profits, different accounting standards. BC can be configured for QFC-specific chart of accounts, tax rates, and reporting requirements.
- QFC vs. onshore entity separation in BC
- QFC Corporate Tax (10%) rate configuration
- Locally sourced vs. international income tracking
- Multi-entity consolidation with QFC/onshore split
Many Qatar businesses operate in QAR, USD, and EUR — especially in construction, oil & gas services, and international trading. BC handles full multi-currency posting, revaluation, and reporting natively.
- QAR base currency with foreign currency posting
- Automatic exchange rate updates
- Unrealized/realized FX gain/loss posting
- Multi-currency bank reconciliation
Qatar's National Vision 2030 is driving digital transformation across government and private sectors. Businesses need integrated ERP systems to meet reporting requirements, support Qatarization workforce targets, and compete for government contracts.
- Qatarization headcount & ratio tracking
- Government tender reporting capability
- Digital procurement integration readiness
- Arabic-first document and interface support
BC's VAT engine is flexible and works for Qatar's framework once properly configured. This means setting up the correct tax posting groups per supply type, aligning the return period to Qatar's filing cycle, and configuring invoice layouts with the required fields in both Arabic and English. I configure this as part of any Qatar BC implementation or as a standalone VAT setup engagement.
Yes. QFC entities follow IFRS and pay 10% CIT on locally sourced profits. BC supports IFRS-compliant chart of accounts and can track locally sourced vs. international income using dimensions. I configure the chart of accounts, tax rate, and reporting structure specifically for QFC requirements — and if you have both a QFC entity and an onshore company, BC handles the consolidation with proper inter-company elimination.
Yes — LS Central supports full RTL Arabic layouts, bilingual item descriptions, and Arabic POS receipts. For Qatar, this includes VAT-compliant receipt formats with the required tax information. I configure the POS profiles, receipt layouts, and item master for Arabic/English display as part of the Qatar LS Central setup.
Yes — BC has a robust Jobs (Projects) module that handles project costing, WIP accounting, progress billing, and retention. For Qatar construction specifically, I configure milestone-based billing in QAR and USD, subcontractor cost tracking, retention receivable/payable accounts, and a project P&L dashboard in Power BI that gives you real-time visibility per contract.

One Architect. Total Accountability.
Most ERP projects fail at the handoff — between the person who built it and the person who understands the business. With one architect owning both layers, that gap disappears. What gets built works the way your business actually operates.

- REST API & web service integrations
- C/AL → AL migration
- Automated test suites
- Performance optimization
- Business process design

- Inventory & warehouse flows
- POS & retail configuration
- User training & documentation
- Go-live planning & UAT
- No handoff between build and business
- One decision maker — no delays waiting for alignment
- Systems that work for your people, not just in theory
- Single point of accountability — always
- Lower risk — no gap between what was built and what was needed
