Credit control and PDC ERP software in Saudi Arabia supports B2B credit-limit workflows, PDC tracking, batch payments, and 15% SAR VAT records.
Why Wholesale Distributors in Saudi Arabia Need Credit and PDC ERP Software
Wholesale trading houses across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, and Khamis Mushait sell on 30- to 90-day credit terms to supermarkets, pharmacies, contractors, and sub-distributors.
Spreadsheet credit tracking and booking PDCs directly into bank ledgers can make overdue dispatches, cash balances, and receivable records harder to review.
What is Credit Control and Post-Dated Cheque (PDC) ERP Software?
Credit control and PDC ERP software unites credit ceilings, order approval holds, quarantined PDC subledgers, batch payments, and bank reconciliation on one database.
From customer onboarding and credit-checked order dispatch to cheque collection, maturity tracking, and bank clearance, every SAR receivable is tracked on one ledger.
Key Features of Credit Control and PDC ERP in Saudi Arabia
An integrated financial and wholesale ERP platform protects B2B working capital across the Kingdom:
1. Customer Credit Onboarding and Sales Type Approval Workflows
Using Create/Import Customers, Sales Customers, and Sales Types Workflow, controllers configure SAR credit limits and approval workflows for overdue orders.
2. Quarantined Customer PDC Ledger (Cheques Under Collection)
Through Customer PDC Payment, collected PDCs post to Cheques Under Collection (100000–199999) with a subsequent transfer to the SAR bank account when it is cleared.
3. Multi-Invoice Batch Payments and Remittance Allocation
When a key account settles 20 invoices in one wire or cheque run, Batch Payments groups them into one bank deposit reference.
4. Advance Deposit Offsets and Linked ZATCA Credit Notes
Accountants issue 15% VAT tax invoices and linked return credits via Customer Invoices & Credit Notes, and offset contractor or B2B advance payments using Reverse Down Payment.
5. Counter Credit Balance Display for Hybrid Wholesale-Retail Counters
For cash-and-carry wholesalers, Customer Credit Balance Display prints the buyer's previous balance, current invoice, and total SAR exposure directly on the receipt.
6. Electronic CSV/OFX Bank Reconciliation and Fiscal Lock Dates
Treasury teams match SADAD, SARIE, Mada, and cleared cheque lines via Bank Reconciliation, record Bank/Cash Transfers, and set Lock Dates after each VAT filing.
7. Aged Receivable Buckets, Analytical P&L, and Word Statements
Using Financial Reporting, Analytical Accounts, and MS Word Reporting, teams generate 30/60/90/120+ day aging reports and branded .docx customer statements.
Benefits for Wholesale Distributors in Saudi Arabia
Dedicated credit control and PDC ERP software strengthens B2B cash flow and audit readiness:
No Unapproved Credit Dispatches: Holding sales orders automatically when a customer breaches their SAR credit ceiling helps teams review credit exposure before dispatch.
Clearer Bank Cash Visibility: Isolating unmatured PDCs in Cheques Under Collection helps treasury teams separate uncleared cheques from liquid bank funds.
Faster Month-End Closing: Grouping multi-invoice settlements via Batch Payments and importing CSV/OFX bank statements can reduce manual reconciliation work.
Tax-Period Controls: Lock dates and linked credit-note workflows can help teams maintain more consistent 15% VAT records.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does Axanta ERP keep unmatured customer cheques separate from our liquid Saudi bank balance?
When a post-dated cheque is logged via Customer PDC Payment, it posts to Cheques Under Collection and moves to the SAR bank ledger upon clearance.
Can we clear 15 open wholesale invoices with a single customer wire transfer or cheque batch?
Yes. Batch Payments lets accountants select multiple open customer invoices or PDCs and process them against a consolidated bank deposit reference.
How are contractor advance deposits handled when issuing the final 15% VAT tax invoice in Saudi Arabia?
Accountants use Reverse Down Payment to deduct and reverse the advance deposit on the final invoice as part of the final invoice and receivable workflow.
Can we print the customer's total outstanding credit balance directly on trade-counter receipts?
Yes. Enabling Customer Credit Balance Display prints the buyer's prior unpaid balance, current bill, and net credit exposure on the receipt.
