A simple way for a small shop to track stock
A stock list with a unit, a quantity, and a reorder line, so you notice a fast mover before the shelf is empty. Built for a kirana, not a warehouse.
Guides for a small shop
These are short notes on the jobs a small shop in Nepal actually has: knowing what is on the shelf, selling when the line is down, seeing who still owes you, putting 13% VAT on a bill, and moving cartons between the shop and the godown. Each one stands on its own. ERPesque is one way to do the recording; the steps work on paper first.
What a small shop needs to record, and what it can skip
Five records cover a pasal: stock, sales, purchases, what customers owe you, and what you owe suppliers. The rest can wait.
Keep the till open when the internet drops
How to finish a sale at the counter with no connection, and which other jobs still need the network.
See which customers still owe you
Turn udhaar from a line in a khata into a balance on the customer, with the invoice and the payment that explain it.
Put 13% VAT on a bill without a spreadsheet
Tax on the line, inclusive or exclusive, and a list of tax collected by rate. The return to IRD is still yours to file.
Move stock between the shop and the godown
Two locations, one catalogue, and a transfer when a carton leaves the godown for the counter.
