One garment, from the docket to the ledger.

A supplier's bill comes in with the consignment. Someone at the office opens a purchase bill and works down the paper: item, size, colour, brand, quantity, cost, MRP.

Arrow keys move between cells. A jump-entry dialog turns one line into a whole size run. Line discounts and the cash discount on the foot of the bill both go in, and are carried into the accounts as discount received rather than being hidden inside the cost.

Saving the bill does not add a quantity to a pile. It creates one row per garment — five shirts in size 40 become five pieces, each with its own serial, each pointing back at the line of the bill it arrived on and the cost it arrived at.

The selling price is rounded by the piece's category, so a line that computes to ₹247.30 becomes the ₹250 the ticket will actually say.

The label run prints in the same order as the supplier's docket, so it can be checked against the paper before anything goes near the shelf. Two designs: 50×35 mm two-up, or 35×22 mm three-up.

Each tag carries the store name, the item, size and model, the price the customer will pay, the piece's serial, a QR code of that serial — and the shop's own cost, written in a cipher only the owner reads.

Stock is now a list of pieces, not a count. You can filter it by category, brand, model, colour or size, see what it is worth, and see what has not moved.

There is nothing to reconcile, because there was never an estimate. A piece is on the shelf or it is sold.

The till reads the barcode and knows exactly which piece it is — so it takes the price from the ticket on that garment, not from a price list that may have moved on since it was tagged.

GST is carved out of that tag price, per line, at the item's own rate. The bill can be settled with cash, UPI and card at once, and each tender is recorded separately.

A piece can only be sold once. If a second till scans the same barcode, that bill is refused — in the database, inside the transaction that writes the sale.

The same database transaction that writes the sale posts the journal entries: stock out, cost of goods sold, output GST, the tender into cash or bank, and any rounding.

A bill that saves without posting, or posts without saving, is exactly what that prevents. By the time the customer has their bag, the day book and the trial balance already know.

At the end of the shift the till closes against a counted drawer. The difference between what was expected and what was there is recorded as variance rather than quietly absorbed.

The next morning it is still there to look at, along with the day's takings by till and by salesman.
