Accounting Software for Manufacturers in UAE | HelloBooks Raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, imported inputs and export sales for UAE manufacturers, with an AI agent posting and costing.
A plastics manufacturer in Ajman buys resin in USD, runs three shifts, sells to local packaging buyers and exports to Oman and East Africa. A food factory in Umm Al Quwain has the same shape with different inputs. Costs pile up in stages before anything is sold. HelloBooks tracks raw materials, work in progress and finished goods, with the AI agent posting purchase invoices and production journals, and your accountant reviewing cost per unit.

Manufacturing accounts follow material through the plant. HelloBooks starts manufacturers with three stock stages and production overheads.
Local sales of manufactured goods are standard-rated at 5%, and exports outside the GCC implementing states are zero-rated with the right evidence. Raw materials imported from abroad are generally subject to the reverse charge. Manufacturers who use precious metals or electronic device parts should note that domestic reverse charge rules can apply when they buy those inputs for manufacturing from registered suppliers.
Factories in a designated zone have their own rules on goods moving within and out of the zone. If your plant sits in one, take advice on the treatment of each type of movement before setting codes.
Resin and packaging invoices are read, converted from USD and added to raw materials. Tell the agent “batch 1093 used 4.2 tonnes of resin and produced 38,000 units” and it drafts the production journal moving cost into finished goods. HelloBooks does not include a bill-of-materials or MRP module, so production is recorded by these journals; the agent keeps them consistent.
Ask “what was cost per unit for the 500 ml bottle line last month?” or “how much raw material is on hand for next week’s orders?” Your accountant reviews production journals and stock valuations at month end.
Cost per unit, gross margin by product line, stock in each stage and scrap rates are the regular set. If a production run costs AED 31,500 in materials, AED 6,200 in power and labour and yields 38,000 units, unit cost is just under AED 1.
Product cost templates, production journal formats and approval rules for scrap write-offs can be set up for your plant. Email hello@hellobooks.ai or book at /book-a-demo to plan it.
