Arabic and French interfaces, e-invoicing mandates, and VAT from 14% to 20%.
Egypt runs one of the most advanced e-invoicing mandates in the region: invoices clear through the Egyptian Tax Authority portal before they are valid, so the accounting system has to produce a compliant document, not just a printable one. Morocco charges 20% VAT and files in French. Algeria and Tunisia both stand at 19%, and Tunisia is the one that catches people — its 19% is charged on the net amount plus FODEC where FODEC applies, so the VAT base is larger than the line, and there is a stamp duty per invoice that is a fixed sum rather than a percentage of anything. Tunisia also clears invoices through El Fatoora and takes withholding declarations through TEJ, which are two obligations rather than one. Interface language is a procurement criterion here in a way it is not further south — a finance team working in Arabic will not accept an English-only ledger, and right-to-left layout is a build decision, not a translation task.
Where invoices clear through a tax portal before they are valid, issuing and recording stop being the same event. A system that treats the printed document as the source of truth will drift from what the authority holds.
Arabic support means mirrored layout, numeral formatting and column order, not a string file. Vendors who quote translation cost alone have usually not attempted it.
A group spanning Morocco and Egypt files in French and in Arabic. Chart of accounts labels, invoice templates and statutory reports all need to exist twice, and keeping them in step is an ongoing task, not a setup one.
Tax is two of these ten. AWRA OpsHub runs inventory, procurement, assets, sales, point of sale, HR and payroll, finance, projects, helpdesk and reporting as one system, and all ten work in every market — the presets below only decide what a rate field is pre-filled with. 3 of the ten have a guide written for North Africa; the rest point at the method guides, which hold wherever you run them.

These are the sales-tax presets AWRA OpsHub ships with, 6 of the 188 countries covered in total. They are headline national rates and a starting point for configuration — reduced, zero-rated and exempt categories still need setting up against your own chart of accounts, and rates change with each finance act.

When your customer is in Europe, their audit is your operating system. Traceability that survives a client visit, consumption recorded against the job, and the difference between records that satisfy you and records that satisfy them.
A donor file in English, an approval chain that speaks Arabic or French, and a supplier invoice in neither. Governance across a language boundary, and what breaks when evidence has to be translated after the fact.
Every vendor says they are localized. Almost none are asked which layer they mean. A field guide to the seven layers of localization — and an unusually blunt account of where our own product stops.
A city of twenty-odd million where a delivery van covers a fraction of the ground it would anywhere else, and the working week ends on a different day. Density, custody and the routing of stock through a megacity.
The Egyptian pound and the Moroccan dirham are both "local currency" and almost nothing else about them is alike. Why one demands rate discipline per transaction and the other demands discipline about the euro.
Moroccan buyers are usually choosing between a French-language local incumbent and an English-language international product, and the deciding question is rarely features. Who reads the screen, who reads the contract, and who answers the phone.
In Egypt "is it localized?" has five different answers depending on which layer you mean — language, currency, tax rate, e-invoicing, working week. A layer-by-layer buyer's guide, including the one where we tell you to look elsewhere.
Egypt's electronic invoicing regime is not an optional integration you can defer — and we do not provide it. What that actually means, how the split works in practice, and what to demand from whoever does provide it.
Three invoices below the threshold settled in one transfer are above it. Where withholding is decided at invoice entry the system is wrong in both directions at once, and the certificate that makes the credit claimable arrives later still.
A fixed sum per document, and a turnover tax with a floor derived from floor area. Neither is a percentage of a line, both are real obligations, and a system built around a rate has nowhere to put either.
Each of these sets out what is built today and what is still on the roadmap for that market.
