The counter and the books
Buying · stock · billing · accounts · GST
Order goods, receive them against the order, put them on the shelf, sell them, and have the ledger and the GST return already written by the time you think about them. Nobody enters a sale twice.
- A one-screen counter: scan, bill, take payment, print.
- Payment split across cash, card, UPI, wallet or account — and card and UPI are not counted as cash, because that money is with the acquirer until it settles.
- Returns against the original bill, at the price actually paid.
- Till sessions with an opening float and a report frozen at close.
- Double-entry accounting where debits must equal credits, with the trial balance, P&L and balance sheet that follow from it.
- GST returns, with the set-off shown per head rather than netted.
- Batch-level stock, costed as it moves rather than at today's price list.
- Receipts on the counter's own thermal printer, and shelf labels on a roll.
