Built-in AI assistant - talk to it or type to it, in Arabic or English

Ask Jabr. See what happens.

Practical examples for business owners and accountants. Use Jabr’s built-in chat or a connected MCP assistant. Replace sample names, dates and amounts with your own, provide missing evidence, and review proposed changes. Some tasks finish in the app; each lesson explains the next step.

These are not generic AI answers

Your numbers come from your books

Ask for recorded balances and reports from your company’s Jabr books. Forecasts use stated assumptions and are labelled as estimates. Missing records or evidence need review.

Check the source behind a rule

Ask Jabr to retrieve the applicable Saudi reference and official link. Check dates, eligibility and evidence before applying a treatment; a source summary alone does not change your records.

Trace reported amounts

Ask which accounts and records contribute to a report or filing value. Jabr’s supported explanation tools show calculation details and review conditions; missing external evidence remains visible.

01

New company? Start here

No accounting jargon required. Ask for an explanation before making changes. Empty Jabr books and a genuinely inactive company are different.

Set up your books
Say this to Jabr

I have a new Saudi company. Check my setup and explain what is missing: fiscal year, accounts, owners and tax profile. Guide me to the right screens; ask before creating or changing records.

What happens
  1. 1Reads setup and company context
  2. 2Explains missing information in plain language
  3. 3Uses available tools or guides you to settings; no invented balances
Record real opening balances
Say this to Jabr

We are new to Jabr but already have bank cash, paid capital and setup expenses. Help me identify the records and evidence needed for opening balances. Explain the proposed entries before saving anything.

What happens
  1. 1Separates existing financial facts from new transactions
  2. 2Requests dates, source evidence and company accounts
  3. 3Previews supported entries or import; blank books are not assumed to mean zero activity
Explain without jargon
Say this to Jabr

Explain my income statement, balance sheet and cash flow in plain language. Use my recorded figures and explain why profit can differ from cash. Tell me what information is missing.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the relevant reports
  2. 2Explains profit, balances and cash movements separately
  3. 3Labels missing information instead of inventing business activity
02

Meet your AI accounting assistant

Ask Jabr to read your company context and explain balances, filing reminders and data-health issues. Jabr reminders are not proof of an unpaid authority obligation.

First conversation
Say this to Jabr

What's the status of my books? Anything I should worry about?

What happens
  1. 1Reads company context and available filing/data-health checks
  2. 2Explains recorded balances and reminders without asserting an authority obligation
  3. 3Offers supported next steps for the issues you choose
Ask about YOUR numbers
Say this to Jabr

How much cash do I have? And who owes me money?

What happens
  1. 1Fetches live balances from your ledger - never estimates
  2. 2Answers 'per your Jabr books, cash is ...' with the real figure
  3. 3Lists customer balances from your actual statements
03

Receipts at scale - the Upload tab

Upload receipts, then ask Jabr to review them. Confirm the supported recording workflow after checking dates, amounts, business use and VAT evidence.

Batch receipts - the flagship
Say this to Jabr

I uploaded all my receipts - record them all.

What happens
  1. 1Finds uploaded documents and extracts available receipt details
  2. 2Checks missing details, duplicates and applicable recording workflow
  3. 3Prepares supported entries for review and confirmation with source links
  4. 4Reports successful saves and items still needing review
One receipt, in chat
Say this to Jabr

Here's a receipt photo - record it.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the image: vendor, date, total, VAT
  2. 2Asks if the amount includes VAT when it's not printed
  3. 3Shows the entry, you confirm, posts with the receipt attached
No receipt, just record
Say this to Jabr

Record 200 SAR fuel expense, paid cash, today.

What happens
  1. 1Drafts the entry with the right expense and cash accounts
  2. 2Shows debit and credit before anything posts
  3. 3You confirm - full audit trail kept
04

E-commerce money, recorded right

Amazon and Noon payouts arrive as one net number hiding fees, refunds and VAT. Jabr splits them the way your income statement needs.

Marketplace settlement
Say this to Jabr

Amazon transferred 45,230 SAR settlement today - record it.

What happens
  1. 1Requests the settlement report and checks whether sales are already recorded
  2. 2Separates supported payout, fees, refunds and tax evidence
  3. 3Previews the appropriate settlement or supported unbooked-sales workflow
  4. 4Records after confirmation without recreating an existing sale
Bank statement
Say this to Jabr

Match my uploaded January bank statement against existing activity first. Show genuine missing transactions, duplicates and unresolved differences. Preview each proposed action before I confirm.

What happens
  1. 1Prepares statement rows without creating journals
  2. 2Checks existing journal activity and open source documents
  3. 3Previews matching or supported missing transactions separately
  4. 4Keeps unexplained items visible; recording and closing need their own review
Reconcile
Say this to Jabr

My bank says 84,300 but Jabr says 86,100 - find the difference.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the statement date, bank account and evidenced closing balance
  2. 2Compares it with the book balance for the same date
  3. 3Explains recorded differences and asks for evidence; no guessed correcting entry
Transfer between accounts
Say this to Jabr

We transferred SAR 20,000 from Al Rajhi to our Al Ahli savings account. Preview recording the actual transfer using our saved bank accounts.

What happens
  1. 1Resolves the two saved company accounts and actual transfer details
  2. 2Previews an internal transfer journal rather than revenue or expense
  3. 3Confirmed posting updates book balances; Jabr does not initiate a bank transfer
What does Tabby or Tamara owe us?
Say this to Jabr

Read our recorded Tabby and Tamara outstanding balances. Explain the movement from sales, refunds and settlements, and flag any difference between the stored balance and posted entries.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the recorded provider balances and roll-forward
  2. 2Shows supported sales/refund/settlement movements
  3. 3Flags discrepancies; it does not independently verify the provider’s live dashboard
Preview a BNPL payout
Say this to Jabr

Use the uploaded provider settlement report to preview this Tabby or Tamara payout. Show the exact fees, refunds, any financing repayment and bank amount. Ask for missing fee VAT evidence; do not post yet.

What happens
  1. 1Reads report figures rather than estimating fees
  2. 2Separates payout, fees, refunds and financing repayment
  3. 3Previews review conditions; it does not record the sale again when already recognized
05

From quotation to collection

Pro and above. Build the sales workflow step by step, with actual customer, item and tax information.

Prepare a quotation
Say this to Jabr

Prepare a draft quotation for my saved customer for these items and prices. Ask for missing details and show me the preview before saving.

What happens
  1. 1Resolves the saved customer and supplied items
  2. 2Previews prices and applicable tax treatment
  3. 3Saves after confirmation; saving is not proof of delivery to the customer
Convert an accepted quotation
Say this to Jabr

The customer accepted this quotation. Help me convert it to an invoice. Check buyer details, VAT treatment and any customer advance before I confirm.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the quotation and related records
  2. 2Checks required buyer and tax details
  3. 3Previews conversion; invoice issuance follows its supported workflow
Record a partial collection
Say this to Jabr

This customer paid SAR 5,000 toward this issued invoice today into our bank account. Read its outstanding balance and preview the payment before recording it.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the issued invoice and remaining amount
  2. 2Checks the bank account, payment date and amount
  3. 3Records the confirmed collection against the invoice; no duplicate sale
Customer statement and follow-up
Say this to Jabr

Show this customer’s statement: invoices, payments, credit notes and remaining balance. List overdue invoices, then preview a follow-up task for the ones I select.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the customer statement and invoices
  2. 2Shows recorded balances and due dates
  3. 3Saves requested tasks after confirmation; it does not send collection messages
Daily cash and card sales
Say this to Jabr

These daily sales have not been recorded: cash SAR 2,000 and card SAR 3,000. Review the date, tax treatment, payment accounts and sold stock before previewing the daily summary.

What happens
  1. 1Checks that these are unrecorded sales, not a payout for existing invoices
  2. 2For registered companies, supports only confirmed standard-rated VAT-inclusive sales. Card/transfer totals post to primary bank, so unsettled provider money needs its own workflow
  3. 3Reviews sold stock and previews the summary; inspect sales and stock-cost results before retrying. This summary does not issue tax invoices
Draft invoices from a list
Say this to Jabr

Prepare draft invoices from this customer and item list in a batch. Check saved customers, products, prices and tax treatment. Show the reviewed totals first, then report each successful or failed item.

What happens
  1. 1Resolves actual customers/products and supplied amounts
  2. 2Previews the supported bulk drafts, up to 50 per call
  3. 3Reports item-level outcomes; do not blindly retry successes. Draft creation is separate from issuance
Check electronic-invoice status
Say this to Jabr

Read this invoice’s saved electronic-invoice status. Explain pending, reported, cleared or rejected results. If a retry or correction is needed, preview the supported action before I confirm.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the invoice and recorded electronic-invoice result
  2. 2Checks setup, buyer details and document state before proposing submission or retry
  3. 3Pending is not acceptance; accepted documents use linked notes for corrections. This concerns e-invoices, not filing-return submission
06

Purchases, delivery and payment

Pro and above. Keep orders, goods receipts, supplier invoices and payments linked so the same purchase is not recorded twice.

Create a purchase order
Say this to Jabr

Preview a purchase order for this supplier and these quantities and prices. Use my saved products and ask for missing details before saving.

What happens
  1. 1Resolves supplier and product identities
  2. 2Previews quantities, prices and provisional tax details
  3. 3Creates the confirmed order; it is not a receipt or supplier payment
Receive part of an order
Say this to Jabr

We received 20 of the 50 items on this purchase order today. Preview the goods receipt. Ask me about input VAT recovery if needed, and keep the receipt reference for the supplier bill.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the quantity still due
  2. 2Previews inventory and goods-received-not-invoiced amounts
  3. 3Confirmed receipt updates stock; supplier AP and input VAT are handled in the matched bill workflow
Approve before paying
Say this to Jabr

Help me match this supplier invoice to the purchase order and receipt. Preview bill approval with the required evidence. Only after I confirm approval, read its status and preview payment separately.

What happens
  1. 1Checks supplier, receipt allocation, prices and evidence
  2. 2Previews bill approval for separate confirmation
  3. 3Reads the approved bill before payment; drafts cannot be paid
Supplier bills from a list
Say this to Jabr

Prepare draft supplier bills from this list in a batch. Check suppliers, account mappings, dates, tax evidence and any purchase-order links first. Do not approve or pay the drafts.

What happens
  1. 1Checks supplied bills and company identities
  2. 2Previews supported bulk drafts, up to 50 per call, and reports each outcome
  3. 3Receipt matching, partial-recovery approval and payment remain separately reviewed; do not blindly retry saved items
07

Record and correct with care

Pro and above. Ordinary journals, invoice payments and issued documents have different correction paths. Review the source before choosing an action.

Prepare an ordinary journal
Say this to Jabr

Help me prepare a balanced journal from these facts. Resolve our saved accounts and check whether an invoice, payroll or other specialized workflow is required. Explain the balance impact before I confirm.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the facts and actual company accounts
  2. 2Uses the source-document workflow when required
  3. 3Previews supported balanced entries and saves only through the applicable approval flow
Correct a mistaken entry
Say this to Jabr

Review this mistaken journal entry and its source. Explain whether an edit, reversal or source-document correction is supported. Preview the eligible correction with my reason; do not delete audit history.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the entry, source and period state
  2. 2Checks permissions, reversal window and protected source records
  3. 3Previews an eligible correction or explains the required source workflow; history remains
Undo a mistaken payment record
Say this to Jabr

This invoice was mistakenly marked paid; no money actually arrived. Read its ordinary payment journal and preview reversing that exact recording with my reason. Do not issue a credit note or refund.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the invoice and specific ordinary payment journal
  2. 2Previews the supported Bank/AR reversal
  3. 3Confirmed reversal reopens the invoice balance; revenue and issued tax document remain unchanged. Unsupported payment sources need their own workflow
08

Month-end, walked for you

The checklist adapts to VAT registration, recorded activity, employee history and assets. Imported balances or missing records can still require review.

Close the month
Say this to Jabr

Close May for me. What's left?

What happens
  1. 1Pulls the live month-end checklist adapted to your business
  2. 2Flags draft entries, unreconciled bank lines, unposted depreciation
  3. 3Walks each step with you and marks it done
  4. 4Locks the period only when you say so
Old drafts
Say this to Jabr

Do I have draft entries I forgot about?

What happens
  1. 1Finds unposted drafts and shows their dates and amounts
  2. 2Previews posting eligible drafts when requested
  3. 3Guides draft-journal deletion through Jabr’s UI; it does not delete them through chat
Translate your books
Say this to Jabr

Translate my account names to Arabic.

What happens
  1. 1Reads your chart of accounts
  2. 2Previews supported bulk translation, preserving existing translations unless you request replacement
  3. 3Updates after confirmation; large lists may require several batches
09

VAT, Zakat and WHT - checked before filed

Prepare draft tax figures from recorded activity. Review evidence, classification and warnings before external filing; Jabr does not submit the return to the authority.

VAT return, the right way
Say this to Jabr

Prepare my VAT return for this quarter.

What happens
  1. 1Reviews recorded purchase VAT and recovery conditions
  2. 2Runs data checks and preserves unresolved review items
  3. 3Generates the supported draft VAT fields from the selected period
  4. 4Explains contributing records; submission remains outside Jabr
Prove a number
Say this to Jabr

Where does the 3,568 in box 13 come from?

What happens
  1. 1Reads the actual value for the selected filing and period
  2. 2Shows contributing accounts and records where supported
  3. 3Retrieves the applicable reference when explaining tax treatment
Foreign suppliers - WHT
Say this to Jabr

I paid a tech company in India 7,666 SAR for services - any withholding tax?

What happens
  1. 1Asks for service type, payment date, beneficiary and Saudi PE facts
  2. 2Retrieves applicable references; treaty relief needs its required evidence
  3. 3Previews supported WHT assessment/recording with source-payment checks; it does not assume every foreign service has the same treatment
Blocked VAT - client entertainment
Say this to Jabr

Dinner with a client at a hotel restaurant, 1,200 SAR including VAT.

What happens
  1. 1Checks receipt, business use and the applicable restriction
  2. 2Previews confirmed blocked or recoverable VAT treatment through the supported expense workflow
  3. 3Shows amounts before posting; unknown eligibility remains for review
Foreign-service VAT is separate from WHT
Say this to Jabr

Review reverse-charge VAT on this approved foreign service expense bill in SAR. Check the supplier invoice, place of supply and recovery allocation. Explain VAT separately from payment withholding; do not post yet.

What happens
  1. 1Reads an approved SAR service-expense bill with one expense line, no supplier VAT and reviewed invoice/allocation evidence
  2. 2Calculates output VAT, deductible input VAT and any cost addition
  3. 3This workflow does not pay the bill or record WHT; mixed supplies, inventory, FX and historical rates need separate review
Partial input VAT recovery
Say this to Jabr

This unpaid domestic expense bill supports both taxable and exempt activity. Review its tax invoice and our evidenced recovery allocation. Preview deductible VAT, denied VAT in cost and supplier payable before approval.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the domestic expense bill and eligibility facts
  2. 2For residual use, needs the saved evidenced annual allocation; it does not invent a percentage
  3. 3Previews supported bill approval. Inventory, assets and imports require their own workflows
Purchases before VAT registration
Say this to Jabr

We recently registered for VAT. Read our registration facts and original pre-registration purchases. Show recovery candidates and missing evidence; do not change invoice dates or assume every purchase is eligible.

What happens
  1. 1Reads recorded registration and original purchase candidates
  2. 2Separates candidates from verified eligibility and prior claims
  3. 3Starts with read-only review; any supported claim needs its own evidence and approval
10

Payroll and end of service

GOSI rates per the regulations including the 2024 reform, end-of-service per Labor Law Articles 84 and 85 - never hand-calculated.

Run payroll
Say this to Jabr

Run June payroll.

What happens
  1. 1Reads employees and their saved scheme, salary and employment dates
  2. 2Calculates payroll and GOSI through Jabr’s payroll engine; missing or partial-month facts need review
  3. 3Shows the payroll preview before confirmed posting
End of service
Say this to Jabr

Ahmed resigned after 7 years - calculate his end of service.

What happens
  1. 1Uses the Labor Law formula - Articles 84 and 85
  2. 2Base wage = basic + housing + fixed allowances (the 'last wage' - not basic alone)
  3. 3Applies the resignation discount correctly
  4. 4Shows the calculation line by line with the legal basis
Monthly EOS provision
Say this to Jabr

Run the end of service provision for June.

What happens
  1. 1Reads eligible active employees and the selected month
  2. 2Previews the calculated provision and any review conditions
  3. 3Posts after confirmation, or reports already processed or no eligible amount without a new journal
Salary advance
Say this to Jabr

We paid Ahmed a SAR 2,000 cash salary advance today. Preview recording it as an employee receivable, and explain how payroll clearing needs separate review.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the employee, amount, date and payment account
  2. 2Previews the cash advance as an employee receivable
  3. 3Records after confirmation; it does not automatically deduct the next payroll, which needs a separate reviewed clearing step
11

Migration - one conversation

Coming from Qoyod, Wafeq, Excel or any system: upload the export files to the Upload tab, then say one sentence.

Full migration
Say this to Jabr

I uploaded my old system's files to the Upload page - migrate my books to Jabr.

What happens
  1. 1Analyzes supported uploaded files and reports unrecognized formats
  2. 2Stages the appropriate migration/import workflow and account mappings
  3. 3Shows totals, reconciliation and review conditions before confirmation
  4. 4Reads back successful results; unresolved discrepancies are not silently fixed
Review before importing
Say this to Jabr

Review my staged import before saving. Show the date range, account mappings and totals, and explain anything that needs my review. Do not import until I confirm.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the staged preview; existing entries stay unchanged
  2. 2Shows the dates, mappings, totals and any review issues
  3. 3Prepares the import for your confirmation after you review it
12

Think ahead, with your data

Forecasts and what-ifs computed from your actual history - not motivational guesses.

What if
Say this to Jabr

What if I hire an accountant at 6,000 SAR a month - how does my cash flow look?

What happens
  1. 1Reads the existing forecast when enough recorded history is available
  2. 2Models the explicitly supplied additional expense; employer costs need confirmed assumptions
  3. 3Shows estimated profit and cash impact; use Financial Plan for detailed hiring assumptions
Year vs year
Say this to Jabr

Compare my VAT filings this year against last year.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the selected years’ filing figures
  2. 2Shows comparable values and reported differences
  3. 3Explains supported source records without inventing causes
Ask the law itself
Say this to Jabr

Why is there a fine for late VAT filing, and is there an exemption now?

What happens
  1. 1Retrieves the applicable reference and official source link
  2. 2Checks verification dates and whether a relief initiative is current
  3. 3Explains what is verified and what still needs confirmation
Your reports, on demand
Say this to Jabr

Show me profit by month from January to May.

What happens
  1. 1Reads recorded reports for the requested months
  2. 2Shows revenue, expenses and profit on the same basis
  3. 3Explains supported contributors and asks about causes not established by records
13

Your financial plan, through chat

Available on Business. Copy a prompt into Jabr’s built-in chat or a connected MCP assistant. Replace the sample dates and figures with your own. Review previews and confirm each save; your plan appears under Planning → Financial Plan.

Start your plan
Say this to Jabr

Help me build a 12-month financial plan starting January 2027. Monthly sales excluding VAT: SAR 100,000; cost of sales: SAR 40,000; operating expenses excluding payroll: SAR 15,000; five employees at a full employer cost of SAR 8,000 each. Customers pay after 30 days and suppliers after 30 days. Ask me for missing opening balances, tax assumptions and other cash commitments. Preview it before saving.

What happens
  1. 1Collects missing assumptions instead of guessing
  2. 2Previews 12-month profit, balance sheet and cash, plus a 13-week cash outlook
  3. 3Shows the assumptions for your review before any save
Save the reviewed plan
Say this to Jabr

Save the financial plan we just reviewed as a draft, with the same assumptions. Show the reviewed changes and ask for my confirmation first. After I confirm, read back the saved plan and tell me its name and version.

What happens
  1. 1Shows the reviewed assumptions and proposed save
  2. 2Use the built-in confirmation card or your MCP client’s approval flow
  3. 3Reads back the saved version; planning does not post accounting entries
Can I afford to hire?
Say this to Jabr

For my saved financial plan, preview one additional employee from March 2027 at a full monthly employer cost of SAR 8,000. Keep every other assumption unchanged. Compare profit and cash with the current version, and show any month below my minimum cash target. Do not save yet.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the saved plan and changes the hiring assumption only
  2. 2Compares the scenario with the current version and cash target
  3. 3Lets you review before saving a new version; it does not create an employee or payroll
Test your growth assumptions
Say this to Jabr

For my saved plan, preview a 20% sales increase from April 2027. Keep cost of sales at the current percentage of sales and leave other assumptions unchanged. Compare it with the current version and tell me what happens to profit and cash. Do not save yet.

What happens
  1. 1Uses the saved plan as the baseline
  2. 2Changes sales and the explicitly linked cost of sales
  3. 3Shows the comparison as a planning estimate for review
Spot a cash gap early
Say this to Jabr

Read the 13-week cash outlook in my saved plan. Show the weeks below my minimum cash target and the dated receipts and payments behind them. Then preview customers paying after 60 days instead of 30, keeping everything else unchanged. Do not save or move any money.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the saved plan’s dated cash outlook
  2. 2Identifies projected cash gaps and compares slower collections
  3. 3Shows estimates only; no bank transfer or customer payment is created
Review the month
Say this to Jabr

Compare January 2027 posted results with January in my saved financial plan. Use its saved version and my actual books. Explain the revenue, expense, profit and cash differences without guessing their causes. Ask me about unexplained differences. Preview any review or follow-up tasks before saving.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the saved plan and posted actuals for the same month
  2. 2Separates measured differences from explanations you provide
  3. 3Prepares any review and requested tasks for confirmation before saving
Original plan versus latest version
Say this to Jabr

Compare the first saved version of my financial plan with the latest. Name both versions, show changed assumptions and their profit/cash effects, and keep both saved versions unchanged.

What happens
  1. 1Reads revision 1 and the latest saved revision
  2. 2Compares their recorded assumptions and projections
  3. 3Read-only comparison does not overwrite history or create accounting entries
14

Owner money, separated from the business

Personal expenses through the company account, partner draws, capital injections - each has a different treatment that affects your Zakat and financial statements.

Personal expense through company
Say this to Jabr

I paid my son's school fees 12,000 SAR from the company account.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the paying account, date and responsible owner
  2. 2Previews the supported owner transaction rather than a business expense
  3. 3Shows journal effects; any filing impact is reviewed separately
Capital injection
Say this to Jabr

Omar injected 50,000 SAR additional capital into the company.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the partner, bank receipt and funding basis
  2. 2Previews the supported additional funding treatment
  3. 3Registered-capital changes follow their evidenced workflow; no legal amendment is performed by chat
Loan received
Say this to Jabr

We received a 150,000 SAR loan from Al Ahli bank.

What happens
  1. 1Reviews loan terms, receipt date and company accounts
  2. 2Previews borrowing as a liability, separate from revenue
  3. 3Records the confirmed transaction; repayments and interest need their own facts
Loan repayment: principal and interest
Say this to Jabr

We made a bank-loan repayment. Read the loan account and ask for the payment statement showing principal and interest. Preview the separate liability and expense effects before recording it.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the loan, payment date, bank and supplied split
  2. 2Principal reduces the loan; the stated interest follows its expense treatment
  3. 3Previews the supported repayment without recording the whole payment as expense
Record a partner distribution · Business
Say this to Jabr

We approved and paid a profit distribution to our partners. Read the saved partners and ownership percentages, ask for the amount and evidence, and preview the accounting before recording.

What happens
  1. 1Checks partner percentages and the supplied payment facts
  2. 2Previews the supported equity/payment treatment
  3. 3Recording the confirmed distribution does not certify its legal eligibility or approve it on behalf of partners
15

Inventory and fixed assets

Stock counts, missing items, delivery vans, office equipment - each recorded the way your financial statements need.

Missing inventory
Say this to Jabr

Physical count shows 3 Samsung phones missing - cost 2,400 each.

What happens
  1. 1Reads saved quantity, cost and count evidence
  2. 2Previews the permitted adjustment and loss classification
  3. 3Confirmed adjustment updates quantity and linked accounting together
Buy a delivery van
Say this to Jabr

Bought a delivery van for 75,000 SAR including VAT.

What happens
  1. 1Checks acquisition evidence, business use and VAT recovery
  2. 2Previews the supported asset workflow and depreciation assumptions
  3. 3Records after confirmation; vehicle use alone does not establish input VAT eligibility
Small equipment: expense or asset?
Say this to Jabr

Bought a printer for SAR 2,500. Help me decide expense or asset using our accounting policy, useful life and evidence. Check VAT treatment before previewing the supported entry.

What happens
  1. 1Asks about company policy, use and expected useful life
  2. 2Checks source evidence and VAT treatment
  3. 3Previews the supported expense or asset workflow; price alone does not decide classification
Monthly depreciation
Say this to Jabr

Read our fixed assets and preview depreciation for September 2026. Show the amounts before posting and tell me if the month has already been processed.

What happens
  1. 1Reads saved asset schedules and the selected period
  2. 2Previews the supported depreciation run for all active assets
  3. 3Posts after confirmation; this tool does not select one asset only
Sell or scrap an asset
Say this to Jabr

We sold this saved fixed asset. Review its recorded cost, depreciation, disposal date and proceeds, then preview the disposal and any gain or loss. Ask for missing facts.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the saved asset and disposal inputs
  2. 2Previews supported carrying value, proceeds and gain/loss
  3. 3Saves the confirmed disposal; required tax or document treatment still needs review
Stock worth less than its cost
Say this to Jabr

This saved product may be worth less than its recorded cost. Review our quantity, cost and my evidenced net realizable value, date and valuation basis. Preview the allowance without changing physical quantity.

What happens
  1. 1Reads saved quantity, cost and prior allowance
  2. 2Uses your supplied value, date and valuation basis; it does not independently authenticate market value
  3. 3Confirmed valuation changes allowance, not stock quantity; no incremental adjustment may mean no new journal

Returns, refunds and credit notes

Keep corrections linked to the original invoice or purchase. Credit notes, stock returns, refunds and VAT review can be separate steps.

Customer return
Say this to Jabr

Customer returned 3 Samsung phones at 1,700 each including VAT.

What happens
  1. 1Finds the original issued invoice and returned quantities
  2. 2Previews the linked credit-note correction and applicable VAT
  3. 3Reviews stock return and actual cash refund separately; does not assume a refund already happened
Supplier refund
Say this to Jabr

Supplier refunded 4,600 SAR including VAT for defective items.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the original purchase, refund evidence and returned goods
  2. 2Previews the supported refund and source-document correction workflow
  3. 3Keeps inventory, bank and VAT review separate where needed; no automatic eligibility claim
Bad debt
Say this to Jabr

This customer has an unpaid invoice for SAR 8,000. Read the original invoice and help me review an evidenced bad-debt write-off. Explain any separate VAT-relief conditions and preview only eligible changes before saving.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the original invoice and remaining debt
  2. 2Requests write-off evidence and reviews supported conditions
  3. 3Previews eligible invoice-linked write-off or separate VAT relief; age alone does not establish eligibility
17

Sales beyond the counter

Cross-border sales, customer deposits and contract deductions require their actual facts and evidence. Ask for the treatment before recording.

Export to GCC
Say this to Jabr

Sold 10 laptops to a client in Bahrain for 41,000 SAR.

What happens
  1. 1Checks goods movement, customer and place-of-supply facts
  2. 2Retrieves the applicable reference and asks for export evidence
  3. 3Previews the supported invoice treatment; customer location alone does not establish zero-rating
Customer advance
Say this to Jabr

Customer transferred 20,000 SAR deposit before we prepare their order.

What happens
  1. 1Checks the advance date, bank receipt, VAT registration and intended supply
  2. 2Previews the supported advance liability and any advance VAT treatment
  3. 3Applying the advance to a later invoice is explicit and reviewed; it is not automatic
Understand a contract deduction
Say this to Jabr

A government customer paid less than our invoice and deducted 5%. Read the invoice and ask for the contract and payment statement. Help me identify whether this is retention, tax or another deduction before recording anything.

What happens
  1. 1Reads the issued invoice and supplied payment evidence
  2. 2Asks for the contractual basis instead of assuming withholding tax
  3. 3Previews a supported treatment or identifies the review still needed; no promised tax recovery
18

Filing center - print-ready financial statements

Generate financial-statement drafts from Jabr books, review their notes and warnings, and print or save a PDF in the app. External review and submission remain separate.

Generate Qawaem

What happens

  2. 2Shows calculated base components and unresolved review conditions
  3. 3Retrieves the reference when explaining the applicable treatment
  4. 4Estimates and Jabr filing records are not authority-assessed or submitted amounts

Say this to Jabr

My new company has no entries in Jabr. Preview the Qawaem financial statements for 2026, even if the values are zero. Ask whether we actually have paid capital, bank activity, setup expenses, debts or opening balances. Explain review notices and guide me to the printable statements; do not create artificial entries.

What happens
  1. 1Generates a draft from the selected period; empty books can produce zero values
  2. 2Explains missing facts and review notices; zero activity is not inferred from empty books
  3. 3Optional new-company attestation is completed by an authorized reviewer in the Qawaem sheet; draft viewing and printing remain available
Print or save your statements
Say this to Jabr

Show me how to open the financial statements for my selected year in Filing Center, review the notes and warnings, then print them or save a PDF. Explain what still needs review before external submission.

What happens
  1. 1Guides you to the Qawaem financial statements view
  2. 2You review statement notes, comparatives and visible warnings
  3. 3You click Print and choose printer or Save as PDF; chat does not control the print dialog or submit to Qawaem

Say this to Jabr

Check our existing recurring invoices. Preview a monthly subscription for this saved customer starting January 2027 for SAR 2,000 excluding VAT. Ask for tax treatment and end date. Keep automatic issuance off.

What happens
  1. 1Checks existing templates to avoid duplicates
  2. 2Reviews customer, tax treatment and schedule
  3. 3Saves the confirmed template; automatic issuance needs an explicit request

  2. 2Previews expense/prepaid accounts and monthly release

What happens
  1. 1Reads year-end status and supporting records

What happens

What happens

  3. 3You authorize the connection in the relevant client/app; Jabr subscription and client requirements are separate

What happens
  1. 1Reads the company’s recorded connection status
  2. 2Guides you to management for integrations actually available to your company

Why you stay in control

Review proposed actions, understand the evidence and check the saved result.

Review before saving

Built-in chat prepares supported changes for server-checked confirmation. For a connected MCP assistant, follow that client’s approval flow and review the tool action. A preview or spoken promise is not a saved result.

Everything is traceable

Important accounting actions retain source links and audit records. Eligible corrections use the supported source workflow or reversal, subject to permissions, period locks and the company’s configured window.

It knows its limits

Closed periods, protected fiscal data and missing evidence can require review or refusal. Jabr explains the supported next step; a failed action must not be described as completed.

Built-in guardrails

Use specialized loan, owner, payroll and supplier-payment workflows. Their server checks protect required mappings and evidence, and surface unsupported cases instead of silently treating them as ordinary entries.

Ready to try it on your own books?

Start with a question in the built-in assistant. Read the preview, confirm supported changes, and use the app for printing, evidence review or other steps explained in the lesson.
