• Ageing lives in someone’s headWhich party has crossed ninety days is known only when cash gets tight and somebody starts calling.
• Stock is spread and uncountedMaterial sits across godowns and in transit, and the only reliable figure comes from physically walking the racks.
• Interstate tax is worked out by handWhether a sale attracts IGST or CGST and SGST is decided invoice by invoice, and mistakes surface at filing.
• Rates differ by party and nobody remembersDealer rates, bulk rates and one-off discounts live in a book, so billing depends on who raises the invoice.

1. 01

   Stock across every godown

   Live quantities per location with transfers recorded as real movements, not adjustments.

2. 02

   Party rates that apply themselves

   Price lists hold dealer, bulk and party-specific rates, so the invoice is right whoever raises it.

3. 03

   Ageing you can act on

   Outstanding by party and by bucket, with reminders going out on a schedule.

4. 04

   Interstate GST handled

   Place of supply decides the tax on each line, with e-way bills raised at dispatch.

1. 1

   Buy to a reorder rule

   Minimum levels raise the purchase request, so fast movers are ordered before they run out.

2. 2

   Receive and store

   Goods booked into the right godown against the order, with short supply caught at the gate.

3. 3

   Sell on the right rate

   The party’s price list and correct GST apply automatically, and stock is reserved on confirmation.

4. 4

   Collect

   The invoice enters ageing the day it is raised, and follow-up runs on a schedule rather than on memory.

1. 1

   Parties and rates first

   The party master, credit terms and price lists come across before anything else, because everything else depends on them.

2. 2

   Count the godowns

   A physical count at each location just before go-live, so opening stock is true.

3. 3

   Then buying and selling

   Reorder rules, GST configuration and ageing switched on once the base data is right.
