Every engineering project has its result.
Its invoices, its team’s cost and its sub-consultants in one place, once you record them against it.
Accounting software for engineering offices in Jordan starts with one question: how much of this project is really left for your office? In an engineering office that runs several projects at once, from Amman to Irbid, one project’s numbers are scattered across its contract, the invoices of the consultants you bring in and its team’s cost. Add each project to Qoyod, record the contract details in it, then link its expenses and invoices to it.
1. A day in an engineering office
Before you choose accounting software for an engineering office, look at where a project’s numbers live today: the contract file, the consultants’ invoices and the clients’ invoices.
Project cost spread across files
The team’s cost sits in one file and the consultants’ invoices in another, so what the project really cost never shows.
With Qoyod: record each expense against the project from a purchase invoice, a simple invoice or a manual journal entry, in the “Additional information” tab.
Which contract, which project?
The contract is in one file, and its value and dates are on another sheet.
With Qoyod: the project carries the contract number, its dates and its value, and you can attach a copy.
What do you still owe the sub-consultant?
Invoices from specialist consultants, and each balance sits in that party’s own statement.
With Qoyod: record the sub-consultant as a supplier, and see the balance and what you have paid in one place.
What you have collected from each client
The client’s invoices are in one file, and what you have collected against them in another.
With Qoyod: link the sales invoice to the project, and see what you have collected and what remains from the customer statement.
2. A project’s journey through your office
One project, five stops, one new number on its card at each.
Stop 1: The project opens with its contract
Add the project in Tasks and Projects and record the contract details in it: its number, start and end dates and value. Attach a copy of the contract.
Stop 2: Its cost is recorded
Record the project’s expenses against it, including your team’s cost as a manual journal entry, from the “Additional information” tab.
Stop 3: The sub-consultant is settled
Record the sub-consultant’s invoice as a purchase invoice on the project, so whatever you have not paid of it stays on the sub-consultant’s balance.
Stop 4: The client is invoiced
Issue your client a sales invoice for the amount you set, link it to the project, and follow what you have collected and what remains.
Stop 5: Its result shows
The project’s result shows in the income statement, filtered by project from Advanced Analysis, and it includes what you recorded against the project.

Who must use e-invoicing in Jordan
Whether your office is exempt from the invoicing mandate or required to issue invoices, Qoyod keeps the books for your projects, purchases and cash, and it is integrated with the National Invoicing System (JoFotara) for when you need it.
5. Your accountant shares the decision

7. Frequently asked questions
Does an engineering office have to issue invoices through the National Invoicing System (JoFotara)?
The e-invoicing mandate covers every seller of goods or provider of services, not only those registered for General Sales Tax, except for activities that the Invoicing Affairs Instructions exempt under set conditions. A seller that is not registered issues an income invoice. Mandatory application has been in force since 1 April 2025, with oversight steadily tightening. Engineering offices do not appear by name in the list in Article (4) of the Invoicing Affairs Instructions. Other sectors were added to the list by later amendments, so it is not a closed list. Check the text in force for your activity with the Income and Sales Tax Department.
More detail in our guide to the JoFotara exemption
If a business is not required to issue invoices, does that mean it pays no sales tax?
Not by itself. An exemption from the provisions of the Invoicing Regulation, where one applies, does not on its own exempt anyone from General Sales Tax or income tax, each of which has its own law. Check your tax position with your accountant.
Does Qoyod have contract management?
No. Qoyod has no direct feature for adding contracts. What you can do is use a project instead: record the contract number, its start and end dates, its value and its details in the project, and link your invoices and expenses to it.
How do I see each project’s result?
Link every expense and every sales invoice to the project, then open the income statement, choose Advanced Analysis and select the project. Its result shows what you recorded against it, and anything not linked to the project does not appear in it.
Is the Projects feature available in my plan?
Ask sales whether it is available in your plan. If you see an “upgrade your plan” message when you open Tasks and Projects, it means the feature is not available in your current plan.
Does the project name show on the printed invoice?
Not unless you add a field for it. The invoice designer has no ready field called “Project”, so add a text additional field named “Project name” for sales invoices in Settings, then show it in the invoice designer. Linking the invoice to the project from “Additional information” is still needed for it to appear in project reports.
That completes the project’s numbers: its contract, its team’s cost, its sub-consultant, its invoice and its result. That answers the first question.
