## Using it in the Gulf

Parts shops across the Gulf often deal with several suppliers and customers on account. Record purchases and payments per contact, set your tax rate and currency, and work in English or Arabic.

Tax rates and currency are set per account. Inventorious is not a certified e-invoicing or tax filing system, so confirm local requirements with your accountant.

Yes. Upload a CSV or Excel file and the import wizard maps the columns, shows problems before anything is saved and lets you undo an import.

Yes. Custom product fields hold extra details such as an OEM number or a note, and products can be grouped by brand and category.
