Accounting Software for Manufacturing Businesses

What do manufacturers need from accounting software?

A manufacturer’s books have to follow material as it changes form: raw material comes in, is consumed in production, and leaves as finished goods. Good manufacturing accounting software records that movement, keeps stock valued correctly at each stage, handles job work, and still does GST billing, e-invoicing and e-way bills for every dispatch. hisabkitab does this for small and mid-size manufacturers, with plans from ₹2,999 a year (exclusive of 18% GST).

How does hisabkitab handle production?

On the Advance plan, the stock journal records production in one entry: the raw materials consumed go out of stock and the finished goods produced come in. That keeps closing stock right without manual adjustments, and the item-wise profit report then shows the margin on each product.

Key features for manufacturers

The features manufacturers use most:

• Stock journal for raw material to finished goods (Advance)

• Multi-unit items, such as kg, bags, boxes and pieces

• Delivery challans for job work, branch transfers and goods on approval

• Item-wise, bill-wise and party-wise profit reports

• E-invoices with IRN and QR code, and e-way bills from the invoice

• AI reading of purchase bills and bank statements (Advance)

• Audit trail and transaction freeze for audit-ready books (Advance)

Which plan should a manufacturer choose?

Small manufacturers with one product line often start on Boost at ₹4,999 a year, which adds custom fields with formulas, barcode printing and item-wise profit. Manufacturers who need stock journals for production, an audit trail or unlimited e-invoices should choose Advance at ₹6,999 a year. All prices exclude 18% GST.

GST compliance for manufacturers

hisabkitab’s GST reports give you the data for GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B from your own entries, along with HSN summaries, and e-invoices can be generated once your turnover crosses the e-invoicing limit. Job work movements are covered by delivery challans, and e-way bills are generated from the same screen as the invoice.
