Indore trades what grows around it — soya, wheat, pulses and grams — and that trade has a cost structure generic software has never met. Bardana, hamali, mandi fee and commission are not overheads here; they are part of what the lorry cost, and leaving them out makes the margin on paper wrong by a wide margin.
| Element | Qty / rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Gross weight | 312.40 qtl | — |
| Less: bardana | 3.12 qtl | — |
| Net @ ₹ 4,680 | 309.28 qtl | 14,47,430.40 |
| Hamali & mandi fee | — | 24,680.00 |
| Commission @ 1.5% | — | 21,711.46 |
Gross, bardana and net weight recorded against the slip number, so the entry matches the weighbridge rather than a rounded figure.
Hamali, mandi fee and commission booked into landed cost, so cost per quintal is what it actually was.
Moisture and foreign matter adjusting the rate at purchase, recorded on the document so a dispute has a reference.
Soya to oil and de-oiled cake, pulses to dal and husk — output yields and by-products costed rather than guessed.
Arhtiya and agent ledgers with commission payable tracked per transaction rather than in a diary.
Stock by godown and stack at landed cost, reconcilable against what is physically there.
Yes — gross weight, bardana deduction and net weight against the slip number, so the purchase entry matches the weighbridge exactly rather than a rounded quintal figure.
As part of landed cost rather than as general expenses. That single decision is usually the difference between knowing your real cost per quintal and finding out at year end that the margin was smaller than it looked.
Yes, through the bill of materials: an input with multiple outputs, each carrying its share of cost, so oil and de-oiled cake or dal and husk are both valued rather than one being treated as free.
Yes, as parties with commission payable tracked per transaction, so what is owed to an arhtiya sits on the ledger.
Start free, enter one purchase with its bardana, hamali and commission, and see what the lorry actually cost.
