How it works
Fourteen of a design is not an answer. Two mediums in maroon is.
Stock in a clothing shop is not a number per design. It is a grid of colours and sizes, and the question a customer asks is always about one cell of it. Software that stores a count cannot answer it.
The mechanism
From the set arriving to the reorder
Nothing here is a setting to switch on. It is how stock works in this software.
- 01The set arrives
Add the style once: its name, style number, colours and the size run — S to XXL, waist 28 to 40, kids by age, or your own. Fill in how many pieces of each colour and size came in, and every one becomes its own product with its own stock.
- 02On the tag
Each colour and size gets its own code, so the barcode on the tag says which piece it is. Print the labels with the MRP, inclusive of all taxes, on a roll or an A4 sheet.
- 03At the bill
Scan the tag, or search the name. The line says the colour and size — “Cotton Kurta · Maroon · M” — and that piece leaves stock the moment the bill is saved.
- 04The reorder
Open any piece of the style and the whole style is laid out as a grid, colours down and sizes across, with sold-out and low cells marked against each piece's own reorder level.
The checks
What it keeps straight for you
The things a busy counter gets wrong with sizes, and what stops each one.
Sizes in the order they are worn
S, M, L, XL, XXL — not alphabetical. Waist sizes by number, kids' sizes by age, so the grid reads the way a rack does.
Low stock means that piece's own level
Each piece can carry its own reorder level, so the size that sells fastest can warn earlier than the one that sits.
The piece on the bill is the piece that left
Stock moves when the bill is saved, per colour and size, so the shelf and the screen cannot drift apart over a busy day.
Returns go back to the right size
A credit note returns the exact colour and size that was sold to stock, not a generic count for the design.
The limits
What it does not do
Two of them, and both are better read here than discovered later.
- Colours and sizes are entered as a grid when a style is added. A purchase bill takes its lines one at a time — there is no size grid on purchase entry yet.
- Each colour and size is its own product, so a price change on a whole style is made on each piece, or in bulk from a spreadsheet import.
Questions
What shops ask about sizes and colours
Do I have to create every size and colour by hand?
No. Add the style with its colours and size run and the pieces received of each, and it creates one product per colour and size in one go. A combination you do not have yet is created at zero, ready to restock.
Can I use my own sizes?
Yes. Pick a ready run — S to XXL, XS to 3XL, waist 28 to 40, chest 36 to 46, kids by age, footwear UK 5 to 11, free size — or type your own, separated by commas.
What goes on the barcode label?
The product name with its colour and size, a barcode of the piece's own code, and either the MRP marked inclusive of all taxes or the selling price. Shop name is optional. Labels print on 38×25 or 50×25 rolls and A4 sheets.
How do I see which sizes are running out?
Open any piece of the style. Its page shows the whole style as a grid of stock by colour and size, with sold-out and low pieces marked. The products list also filters by style number, size, colour and season.
Can I keep MRP and selling price apart?
Yes. MRP is its own field and is what the tag can print; the selling price is what the bill charges, and a markdown can take it below the MRP.
The rules
Why the GST on a garment depends on its price
With the government text each claim rests on and the date it was checked.
- GST on clothing: 5% or 18%, decided by each piece's price
Readymade garments, bedsheets and footwear are taxed at 5% up to ₹2,500 a piece and 18% above it. The rate follows what the piece actually sells for — after your discount, before GST — so a markdown can change it. Here is the rule, the codes, and the cases that trip shops up.
