Features

What BastraLekha does, module by module. Each links to the part of the user guide that explains how to use it.

At the counter

• Point of sale — scan a piece's tag or a design's SKU; the till works from a cached catalogue, so it keeps billing offline and syncs when the line returns. Guide
• Split tenders — cash, card, UPI and credit on one bill; credit past a customer's limit needs approval.
• GST invoice and receipt — A4 tax invoice or 80 mm thermal receipt; reprints are marked DUPLICATE.
• Discount caps — a discount above the cap needs a manager's approval.
• Stock guard — selling loose goods beyond recorded stock needs a manager; bills taken offline still post and are flagged.
• Returns — full or partial, as credit notes with their own series; refund, exchange, or credit kept on account.
• Rebates and markdowns at the till — a government festival rebate is applied per line; an approved markdown or clearance price is picked up automatically.
• Day close for each counter.

Stock and purchasing

• Per-piece or per-design tracking — tagged pieces for sarees that are each unique, loose counts for stoles and dress material. Guide
• Purchase orders to weaver societies and suppliers — printed, delivered in parts, billed against, closed short, with a list of what is still to come.
• Goods receipt and purchase bills — from suppliers and weaver societies; an unregistered society's bill carries no GST.
• Debit notes — goods sent back to a supplier, reversing the payable and the input tax.
• Transfers between branches on a numbered delivery challan, with an in-transit state and variance on receipt.
• Stock take with approval for variances.
• Catalogue — categories with their own attributes (weave, motif, cluster), prices effective-dated, tag labels printed on a roll or A4.
• Yarn and raw material — held by weight to the gram, or by hank; lots by bale or dye lot.

Weaving and labels

• Job work — orders for weavers with yarn norms; yarn out on challans; pieces and unused yarn back; wages booked; wastage past the norm recovered or written off with approval. Guide
• Handloom Mark and India Handloom Brand — registrations, label rolls, each label used once, spoilt labels voided, and the label account per branch. Guide
• Markdowns — by stock age or as dated clearance sales, proposed by one person and approved by another; stock valued at the lower of cost and realisable value.

Accounts

• Double-entry books — day book, ledgers, trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet, cash and bank book. Guide
• Vouchers — receipt, payment, contra and journal; posted vouchers are reversed, never edited.
• Parties — customers, suppliers and weaver societies, each with its own ledger, credit limit and terms; receipts settle the oldest bills first unless told otherwise.
• Period close — lock a period; unlocking is a separate authority.
• Opening balances and stock brought in from the books you keep today, and Excel import and export.

GST and government

• GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and HSN summary from the books; rates effective-dated, so a rate change never rewrites a past month. Guide
• ITC-04 for goods sent to job workers, and the section 143 register of yarn still out.
• GST TDS — receipts from government buyers recorded net of TDS, their GSTR-7A certificates, and the credit claimed.
• Festival rebates — schemes, the claim register, submission, sanction and money received. Guide
• NHDP Marketing Incentive — eligible turnover, the claim, sanction, the weavers' share and the utilisation register.
• Weaver roll of member societies — without Aadhaar numbers, by design.

Expos and government sales

• Expos on exhibition sale points — stock out and back on challans, sales, costs, margin and an approved close-out count. Guide
• GeM orders — the contract, linked bills, delivery, PRC and CRAC, payment due dates and GeM's charges.

Reports and control

• Reports — sales, branch comparison, stock ageing, receivables outstanding, payables, rebates given. Guide
• Audit trail and audit pack — every change, exportable for the auditor.
• Roles and permissions — six starting roles, each editable; branch-scoped or head-office-wide. Roles
