Number, date and currency formats in United Arab Emirates
Statements in United Arab Emirates usually show amounts in AED (United Arab Emirates Dirham) with a dot (.) as the decimal mark and a comma (,) as the thousands separator. Dates commonly look like DD/MM/YYYY or DD-Mon-YYYY.
Right-to-left text is read in logical order, with Latin words and digits kept intact. Dates with month names, such as 01-Apr-2025, are recognised in English; month names in other languages may need a manual check.
In our checks Satr read these patterns correctly; the mapper still lets you switch the number format if a file differs.
Accounting packages used in United Arab Emirates, such as Zoho Books, QuickBooks, and Tally, let you import spreadsheet files. Export from Satr as XLSX or CSV and match the columns there; Satr is not connected to those programs.
