Fix: Official Saudi Riyal Symbol via SVG Works in ERPNext Currency Doctype

1

السلام عليكم،

The official Saudi Riyal symbol released by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) is now available in SVG format and works perfectly inside the Currency.symbol field in ERPNext without any hacks or overrides.

:white_check_mark: This is the working HTML snippet to use in the SAR currency symbol field:

html

CopyEdit

<img src="https://www.sama.gov.sa/ar-sa/Currency/Documents/Saudi_Riyal_Symbol-2.svg" 
     style="height: 0.9em; vertical-align: middle;">

:mag: Tested:

  • Appears correctly in standard form views (like Sales Invoice)
  • Renders properly in print/PDF formats
  • Does not require any font install or JS injection

:white_check_mark: Optional Improvement: To avoid relying on external URLs (in case SAMA changes the file path), it’s recommended to self-host the SVG inside your custom app:

htm

<img src="/assets/your_app/images/sar-symbol.svg" 
     style="height: 0.9em; vertical-align: middle;">

where the image takes the full width of the row cell,
I did a small update to specify the width, and now it work perfect.

Update code:
<img src="/files/saudi_riyal_symbol.svg" style="height: 1.25em; width: 1.5em !important; vertical-align: middle;">

After Update:

Hi,
I’ve attempted to install URY POS multiple times, but I’m consistently seeing “Access Denied.”
I’ve added the required roles in the POS Profile, yet the error remains. I also wasn’t able to reproduce the issue in a test environment.
Could you please advise which settings/permissions are required for URY POS to work correctly? If you provide guidance, I can implement the fix right away.
Thanks!

1 main reason is that you are trying to access the URY POS by admin user,
another reason you are not setting the right pos restrictions rules.

I have posted the way to fix that issue here

Permission Required · Issue #18 · ury-erp/pos.

Note that you are using another user for the pos user, not the administrator
