Why It Matters
The problem
Does your stock register disagree with your godown?
Stock and billing live apart
When stock is kept in a register or a separate app, every sale and purchase has to be noted twice. Within weeks the numbers drift and nobody trusts them.
Running out without warning
Fast movers sell out before anyone notices, and customers walk to the next shop. Meanwhile slow items take up shelf space and working capital.
Units that don't match
You buy tiles by the box and sell some by the piece; you buy steel by the tonne and sell by the piece. Without conversions, stock in one unit never matches sales in another.
How it works
How inventory works in hisabkitab
1
Set up your items
Import your item list through Excel or create items with HSN, GST rate, unit and opening stock.
2
Buy and sell as usual
Purchases add stock, sales and delivery challans reduce it, and returns reverse it. No separate stock entry needed.
3
Watch the reports
Open the Stock Summary for quantities and value, and the Low Stock Report for items below the level you set.
4
Refine as you grow
From Boost, add item custom fields, formulas and 4-level grouping; on Advance, add Stock Journal for manufacturing and top/least selling reports.
Capabilities
Stock control without the extra work
Automatic stock movement
Sales, purchases, returns, credit/debit notes and delivery challans update stock as they are saved.
Stock Summary
Opening, inward, outward and closing stock with value for any period, included on every paid plan.
Low Stock Report
Items that have fallen below your reorder level, so you order before you run out.
Multiple units
Handle conversions such as box ↔ pieces ↔ sqft or kg ↔ metre ↔ piece so buying and selling units stay in step.
Bulk import and export
Bring in items through Excel and export stock reports to PDF or Excel for your team or CA.
Top and least selling
On Advance, see which items sell fastest and which are stuck, to plan purchases and clear dead stock.
Use cases by industry
Who uses it, and how
Tiles and ceramic dealer
A tiles dealer in Morbi buys in boxes, sells some in boxes and some loose. Stock is kept in both, and the Stock Summary shows boxes and sqft in hand.
Departmental store
A multi-counter departmental store in Nashik checks the Low Stock Report every morning and places purchase orders before the weekend rush.
Steel and pipe trader
A steel trader buys by weight and sells by piece and length. Conversions keep stock accurate in kg while bills show what the buyer ordered.
Electronics retailer
An appliance shop in Patna uses top and least selling item reports on Advance to stop reordering slow models and push the ones that move.
Before vs after
Before hisabkitab, and after

Stock moves when the bill is saved
Discovering an item is out when a customer asks
Low Stock Report shows it in advance
Boxes in purchase, pieces in sales, chaos in stock
