Godown/Location Summary

FAQs

If you manage stock or inventory for third parties in specific physical locations, you can use Godowns/Location in Tally.ERP 9 to store inventory. In the case of consignment sales or job work, you will need to manage inventory in specific godowns for your third party and track the stock movement.

Inventory for consignment sale or job work : Say you are sending stock to your third party. In this case, you will need to record the movement of stock that you send to a third party for sale (as consignment) or to produce finished products (as job work). In a consignment sale, you need to update your books by recording sales of your stock made by the third party. Similarly, a job work will involve movement of the finished goods from the third party or job worker to your godown. The same is applicable when you receive inventory from your third party to do a consignment sale or job work.

Using the Godown/Location feature in Tally.ERP 9, you can manage inventory sent to or received from a third party.
