Odoo
Tier S · Published pricesOpen-source ERP from Odoo S.A. with a Jordan localization and JoFotara e-invoicing module
Odoo is a modular ERP from Odoo S.A. covering accounting, invoicing, projects, inventory, HR and more, sold as a cloud subscription or run from the open-source Community code. Its Jordan localization installs a Jordanian chart of accounts, 16% sales tax and tax report (l10n_jo) plus a JoFotara e-invoicing module (l10n_jo_edi). Implementation is sold separately through Odoo Success Packs or partners.
Pros
- + Jordan chart of accounts, taxes and JoFotara module ship with Odoo
- + JoFotara module is open source (LGPL-3) in the Community code
- + One platform for accounting, projects, inventory and HR
- + Published per-user prices and a free one-app plan
Cons
- − JoFotara needs ISTD credentials (Activity Number, Client ID, Secret Key)
- − Implementation costs extra via Success Packs or partners
- − First-year discount on subscriptions; regular prices are higher
- − Priced in USD, not JOD
Jordan note
Odoo's Jordan localization installs the Jordanian chart of accounts, 16% sales tax, exempt and 0% export taxes and a JoFotara module that sends invoices in UBL 2.1 for real-time validation and puts the JoFotara QR code on the PDF for checking in the Sanad app. You need an Activity Number, Client ID and Secret Key from ISTD, and the company currency must be JOD.
QuickBooks
Tier A · ListedIntuit's cloud accounting, sold in Jordan through its global site; JoFotara needs a separate integration
QuickBooks Online is cloud accounting software from Intuit. Jordan is served by Intuit's global QuickBooks site, which offers Simple Start, Essentials, Plus and Advanced plans with prices set by location and currency. Intuit's global site names no link to Jordan's national e-invoicing system (JoFotara); InvoiceQ, a Jordanian e-invoicing service, lists QuickBooks among the systems it connects.
Pros
- + Four plans from 1 to 25 users, with accountant access
- + 30-day free trial and no contract
- + InvoiceQ lists QuickBooks among the systems it connects to JoFotara
Cons
- − No JoFotara link named by Intuit; needs a separate e-invoicing service
- − No Jordan-specific site or published Jordan price
- − Accounting, not construction management
- − Extra cost and setup for the e-invoicing integration
Jordan note
Intuit names no Jordan e-invoicing feature in QuickBooks, so firms that must issue JoFotara invoices use a separate service; InvoiceQ lists QuickBooks among the systems it connects to the Income and Sales Tax Department. Check the connector's scope and price before relying on it.
