Building Materials
Building Materials: barcode sales and POS, stock and warehouse, customer accounts and e-Invoice.
Challenges
- Goods sell by the tonne or cubic metre, yet stock is kept as plain quantities.
- Freight cost never enters the sale, so profit looks higher than it is.
- Site deliveries go to a different address and delivery tracking is disconnected.
- Breakage and waste on cement and bricks are never recorded.
Workflows
From order to site delivery
- The contractor account and its price tier are set up.
- The order is entered in tonnes or cubic metres and the credit limit is checked.
- Delivery goes to the site address, with vehicle and freight added to the document.
- After delivery the invoice is issued and the receivable enters due-date tracking.
Waste and breakage
- Broken or spilled quantities are posted on a waste slip.
- The waste ratio is reported by product group.
- The cost impact becomes visible in the margin report.

FAQ
Can I add freight into the cost?
Yes — freight is a cost line on the document and the margin is computed including it.
Can I deliver to a site address?
Yes — the shipment document carries a delivery address separate from the billing address.
Can I sell by tonne or cubic metre?
Yes — the stock item carries a unit of measure and order and shipment stay in that unit.
Can I track partial shipments to a construction site?
Yes, order lines can be shipped piece by piece and the outstanding quantity stays visible.
Can I link the weighbridge reading to the delivery note?
Yes, the tonnage on the weighbridge ticket is carried over to the delivery note and deducted from stock.
