The materials on their invoice, the making on its order, the finished product at its average cost.
Whether your business is exempt from the invoicing mandate today or required to issue invoices, you record the raw materials, the manufacturing order and the finished product in Qoyod, and each stored material’s balance stays in your stock.
Accounting software for factories in Jordan starts with a single manufacturing order: raw materials you buy, a finished product that comes out of them, and an average cost for its unit. In a factory that turns raw materials into a product for sale, you buy the materials from suppliers, make a set quantity under an order, and then sell the finished product to your customers. Add the raw materials in Qoyod, create a composite product with its components, then create the manufacturing order and read the average cost of its unit once it is complete.
1. Where do a factory’s numbers scatter?
Before you choose accounting software for a factory in Jordan, look at where a single order’s numbers live today: its raw materials, their quantities, what is short, and what your store is missing against your books.
Raw materials with no balance
Materials reach the store from several suppliers, and you do not know how much is left of each.
With Qoyod: define them as stored raw materials with a unit of measure and buy them on a purchase invoice, and each material’s balance shows.
A unit cost nobody knows
You estimate the cost from an old sheet, so you do not know what a unit cost you in materials.
With Qoyod: once a manufacturing order is complete, Qoyod works out the finished product’s average cost from the materials that went into it.
An order starts with materials short
Making starts, then it turns out one component is not enough, and the quantity runs late.
With Qoyod: if the materials fall short, an alert names the missing component with its required quantity, its available quantity and the shortage.
A store that falls short of the books
The count shows less than the books, and you do not know where to record the difference.
With Qoyod: record the difference in a stock count, and choose the cost account for the shortage and the income account for the excess.
2. One manufacturing order in your books: from the material to the finished product
One order, five stops, one new number on the numbers card at each.
Stop 1: You buy the raw materials
Add each material as a stored raw material with its unit of measure, then buy it on a purchase invoice in its supplier’s name.
Stop 2: You define the composite product
Create a stored composite product, choose its components from the raw materials, and set the quantity of each component.
Stop 3: You start the manufacturing order
Create an order with the date, location, temporary manufacturing account and quantity, then start the operation, and the value of the materials moves from stock to the temporary manufacturing account.
Stop 4: You complete the operation
Complete the operation, and the value of the finished product moves into stock, with its average cost worked out by Qoyod.
Stop 5: You sell the finished product
Sell it on a sales invoice, and its quantity leaves stock, with Qoyod charging its cost at the average cost to the cost account you set for the product.
3. Accounting Software for Factories in Jordan: what Qoyod covers in your factory
Electronic invoicing and integrated accounting in one system. And here are six more jobs Qoyod covers in your factory, from the raw materials to your machinery.
Raw materials
Add each material from “Products and costs” as a raw material with a unit of measure such as the kilogram, the metre or the litre, and choose whether it is stored. A stored one you buy on a purchase invoice or enter as an opening balance before a manufacturing order will accept it, and an unstored one can be used in an order with no earlier purchase. A raw material is not sold directly.
Composite products
A composite product is a finished product whose components you choose from the raw materials and products, with a quantity for each, and it is sold as one product. If it is stored, you make it with a manufacturing order, and if it is not stored, its components come out of stock when you sell it. If you edit its components after saving it, an older order does not change, and the edit applies to new orders.
Manufacturing orders
An order exists only for a stored composite product. Choose the date, the location and the temporary manufacturing account, write the description, add the product and the quantity, then save it as a draft, start the operation, or start and complete it in one step. Once an order is in progress or complete, it cannot be edited. And you control who can read, create, delete and approve it from the roles settings. Raw materials, composite products and manufacturing orders are available depending on your subscription, so ask sales which one includes them.
Shortage of components
When you add a quantity that the components’ stock cannot cover, an alert “quantity not available” shows, and its details give each component’s required quantity, available quantity and shortage. Qoyod does not allow negative stock, so buy what is short on a purchase invoice, or record it in a stock count or an opening balance, before you start.
Stock and locations
The product locations report shows the balance of each stored product and each stored raw material in each location, and quantities move between locations with a stock transfer. Making happens in one location: you draw the materials from it and add the product to it, then transfer it if you wish. Set a reorder level for a product in a location, and the dashboard alerts you when it is reached. The number of locations depends on your subscription.
Machinery and expenses
Record machinery and equipment as fixed assets with their value and productive life, and follow their depreciation and book value. Depreciation is recorded as an expense at the level of the asset, and Qoyod does not spread it over products. Wages, electricity and maintenance stay as expenses in their own accounts.
4. Factories and the National Invoicing System
Discuss your business’s position with your accountant.
Who must use e-invoicing in Jordan
Whether your business is exempt from the invoicing mandate or required to issue invoices, Qoyod keeps the books for your stock, purchases, assets and cash, and it is integrated with the National Invoicing System (JoFotara) for when you need it.
5. Your accountant shares the decision
If your factory works with an accountant or an accounting firm, their view on accounting software comes before your decision. The question “is my activity exempt from the invoicing mandate?” belongs with your accountant and the Department. The books belong in Qoyod.

7. Frequently asked questions
Does a factory 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. Other sectors were added to the list in Article (4) of the Invoicing Affairs Instructions 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.
How do I make a product from raw materials and see its average cost?
Open “Products and costs”, add each material as a raw material with its unit of measure, and choose whether it is stored. A stored one you buy on a purchase invoice or enter as an opening balance. Then create a stored composite product, and choose its components and the quantity of each. Next, open “Manufacturing orders” and create an order with the date, location and temporary manufacturing account, add the product and the quantity, then start the operation, or start and complete it in one step. When it is complete, the finished product enters stock and Qoyod works out its average cost from the materials that went into it, and you find it under “Products and costs”, then “Composite products”, then view. You cannot create an order for a composite product that is not stored, nor draw the materials from one location and add the product to another. Raw materials, composite products and manufacturing orders are available depending on your subscription, so ask sales which one includes them.
Do wages, electricity and depreciation go into a product’s cost?
Qoyod works out the average cost of a stored composite product from the cost of the materials that went into it. Wages, electricity and maintenance you record as expenses in their own accounts, and Qoyod does not load expenses onto products by itself. Machinery depreciation is recorded as an expense at the level of the asset and is not spread over products. And if you pay freight on raw materials you buy, Qoyod does not load it onto them: you spread its share yourself, by entering the unit price after adding it when you record the purchase invoice.
Does Qoyod replace an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system?
Qoyod is accounting software, not an enterprise resource planning system. Material requirements planning (MRP), advanced demand forecasting, and tracking by batch number or expiry date are not available in Qoyod. Production routings, machine capacity, work shifts and standard costing are not shown on this page, so ask sales what fits your factory.
How do I record damaged or missing materials in the store?
Open “Products and costs”, then “Stock count”, create a count, choose the location, and enter the actual quantity of each material, and Qoyod works out the difference against the books and records it with an accounting entry. You choose the cost account for the shortage, such as a damaged goods account if you added it earlier to the chart of accounts, and the income account for the excess. A regular count covers one location, and to count more than one you use the stock count import.
That brings a factory’s books together in one place: its raw materials, its manufacturing order, and its finished product at its average cost.
