Day one

What a workspace in Malaysia is set to before you touch it

Choose the country and the rest follows. None of these are typed in by you, and none of them are typed in by us either — they come from the same reference table the product uses to localise a live workspace.

Country: Malaysia
Currency: Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)
Decimal places: 2
Sales tax called: SST
Registration called: SST number
Week opens: Monday
Financial year opens: 1 January
Dial code: +60
Default timezone: Asia/Kuala_Lumpur

The only two things stored as your own choice are the registration number itself and, if you disagree with your country, the day your week opens.

SST number—— set in settings

A bill with this market’s symbol, decimal places, tax wording and registration label. The rate shown is an example; the labels are not.

Why it fits here

What this does for a salon in Malaysia

Three things that are true of this market specifically, rather than three things that would be true of anywhere.

Service tax, named as service tax

The country table says SST and SST number, so the fields read the way a Malaysian salon reads them rather than saying VAT at someone who does not charge VAT.

Taxable services beside non-taxable retail

SST applies to services rather than uniformly. A rate per line puts a taxable treatment and an untaxed retail product on the same bill without a workaround.

Monday weeks, January year

Both carried from the country. Malaysia does not follow the Gulf week or the South Asian one, and the product does not assume it does.

Three different answers appear across the markets we serve — Sunday, Monday and Saturday — so the product stores the day rather than assuming it.

Where imported software breaks

What gets Malaysia wrong

Every one of these is something a product built for somewhere else assumes, and every one of them is visible to your staff on the first day rather than to your accountant in month nine.

SST is not VAT with a different name

It does not work as an input-output credit system, so importing VAT-shaped assumptions produces the wrong mental model even when the arithmetic matches.

Names across several scripts

Malay, Chinese and Tamil names all stored as typed, no transliteration.

East and West are far apart

Branches carry their own address, phone and opening hours, which matters more when your two salons are separated by the South China Sea.

Each line on a bill carries its own rate in basis points, so several rates on one ticket stay separable all the way to the report.

What it does not do here

The parts we are not going to pretend about

Nothing is illustrated in this section, because there is nothing here to sell. These are the reasons a salon in this market might be right to say no.

No MyInvois integration

Malaysia is phasing in mandatory e-invoicing through the LHDN MyInvois platform, by turnover band. This product does not submit invoices to it. If your salon is in a band that has come into scope, this cannot be your invoicing system of record.

Tax you pay is not tracked, only tax you charge

Expenses record a gross amount and no rate, so the software cannot tell you your input tax. The report gives you output tax properly — turnover and tax by month, and turnover grouped by rate — and your accountant supplies the other half.

Reports run on dates, not on your financial year

The product knows when your year opens and shows it, but nothing defaults to it yet. You pick the dates. That is a small annoyance where the year opens on 1 January and a real one where it does not.

One workspace is one country

Country, currency and registration belong to the workspace, not the branch. A group trading either side of a border runs one workspace each side and consolidates outside the product.

Straight answers

Common questions about SaloonERP in Malaysia

Every answer here is also marked up for search engines. They are the same words either way — describing the product one way to a reader and another way to a crawler is the oldest trick on this list and we are not doing it.

Does SaloonERP work for salons in Malaysia?

Yes. Choosing Malaysia as the country sets the workspace to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) at 2 decimal places, names the sales tax "SST" and the registration "SST number", opens the week on Monday and the financial year on 1 January. None of that is configuration you do yourself.

What tax does SaloonERP handle in Malaysia?

Every service, product and bill line carries its own rate in basis points, so several rates can appear on one ticket and the report groups taxable turnover by the rate it was charged at — the shape a SST return asks for. Your SST number is stored once and prints on invoices. Tax you pay to suppliers is not tracked.

Do you have an office in Malaysia?

No. Our two offices are in Nagpur and Kathmandu, and support for Malaysia runs from Nagpur. We would rather say that than imply a local team.

Is SaloonERP compliant with Malaysia's invoicing requirements?

No MyInvois integration. Malaysia is phasing in mandatory e-invoicing through the LHDN MyInvois platform, by turnover band. This product does not submit invoices to it. If your salon is in a band that has come into scope, this cannot be your invoicing system of record.

Can one SaloonERP account cover Malaysia and another country?

No. Country, currency and tax registration belong to the workspace rather than the branch, so a group trading either side of a border runs one workspace each side. Within Malaysia you can run as many branches as you like, each with its own address, phone, timezone and opening hours.

What does SaloonERP cost in Malaysia?

List prices are published in Nepali rupees on our pricing page and start at Rs 2,500 a month, with a fourteen-day trial and no card required. Ask us for a quote in MYR and we will give you one.

Salons, spas, barbershops, beauty parlours and nail bars in Malaysia all run the same way here — a chair, a queue, a bill and a till. Whatever it is called where you are, this is the same product.
