What Is Inventory in NShine ERP?

Inventory holds the products and services you buy and use: filters, oils, bulbs, tyres, batteries, and the services a workshop charges. Purchase invoices bring stock in from suppliers, line by line with batch, quantity, rate, discount and tax. Stock adjustments correct the count by warehouse.

Serialized items such as tyres go to Tyre/Asset Tracking; quantity items stay as stock, and the Stock Report shows what is where.

Inventory & Purchase Capabilities

Product Master

A product has a Name, a Type (Product or Service), a product type and a Unit, an Item/Barcode, a tax code, Category and Sub Category, Brand and Sub Brand. Purchase Info holds the purchase rate, MRP, cess and a Qty Alert; Sales Info holds the sales rate and a discounted sale rate, each with tax included or not.

Switch on Enable Batch and Enable Stock Posting for items you count, or Track as serialized asset for tyres and batteries that are followed by serial number.

Purchase Invoice

Pick the supplier; the place of supply, tax registration number and billing address fill in. Add lines by scanning a barcode or searching: product, batch number, quantity, unit, rate, discount, tax. Set the warehouse, the due date and the supplier’s bill number.

Save, or Save & Add Payment. The stock rises, the supplier’s balance rises, and the bill shows its payment status in the Purchase Invoice list with amount to pay, paid amount and balance due.

Stock Adjustment

When the count differs from the book, record an adjustment for the Warehouse with the products, quantities, rates and a description. Each adjustment is a numbered voucher, and the barcode or QR scan box works here too.

Stock Report and Alerts

The Stock Report shows quantity on hand by product and warehouse. A Qty Alert on a product flags it when stock falls below the level you set, so the next purchase order goes out before the shelf is empty.

How It Works in NShine ERP

  1. Create products with units, rates and tax; enable stock posting for the ones you count.
  2. Record purchase invoices as parts arrive; stock and the supplier’s balance update.
  3. Record parts and labour on each vehicle service, and fit tyres through Tyre/Asset Tracking.
  4. Count the shelf; post a stock adjustment if it differs.
  5. Read the Stock Report before the next purchase order.

Benefits of Inventory & Purchase in NShine ERP

  • Nothing bought twice. The Stock Report says what is on the shelf.
  • Parts cost lands on the vehicle. Services carry parts and labour per task, and the Vehicle Maintenance Statement shows the cost.
  • Supplier bills in one place. The purchase invoice is also the payable, with its payment status.
  • Less typing. Barcode scanning on invoices and adjustments, and Excel import for past bills.

Parts on Memory vs Parts in the ERP

Challenges Without It

How spare parts are usually run in a transport company.

  • Filters and oils bought on memory
  • Workshop bills with parts that were already in stock
  • No idea which warehouse holds what
  • Supplier bills for parts kept apart from the accounts

How NShine ERP Helps

What changes when stock and purchase bills are in the same system as the fleet.

  • A product master with rates, tax and alerts
  • Purchase invoices with batches and barcodes
  • Stock by warehouse, adjustments and a Stock Report
  • Purchase bills that raise the supplier’s balance the moment they are saved
