What do we call this thing?
One list for everything you buy, make and sell — with its unit, its tax and its stages said once.
The Tuesday it gets opened
A new raw material arrives for the first time. You start making a new product. The GST rate on something changes.
The old way, stated fairly
The same item lives in Tally under one name, the godown register under another, and the invoice under a third — and every document retypes the rate.
How it earns its place
One list for everything
Raw, made-here or finished — each item says what it is, what it’s measured in, what it costs and sells for.
Say the tax once
HSN and GST live on the item. Every purchase line, invoice line and return picks them up by itself.
Measured how you measure
Kg to two decimals, pieces whole — the item decides, and every form respects it. Import included.
"MS Plate 5mm — kg, HSN 7208, GST 18%." From then on, every purchase and invoice line for it fills its own tax. Nobody types 18% again.
What it refuses, and why
Software that explains its “no” is software an owner can trust.
Two items on one SKU
The code on the shelf label must mean exactly one thing.
Deleting an item with history
Old documents would go blind. Retire it — out of every picker, old papers still read correctly.
Connected on the thread
Nothing here stands alone — the same entry feeds these too.
See it with your own material
Bring the Excel you already keep — the import wizard reads it as it is.
