Stage Payments and Billing for Modular Kitchens

A kitchen is paid for in stages, and each stage carries its own invoice and receipt. The balance due is read from the project, not from a notebook.

Stages on a kitchen project

How many stages you use is your own practice. Three or four are common.

Advance at approval

Taken when the client accepts a drawing revision and quote. This stage opens the work order for the factory.

Before dispatch

Raised when units are packed and ready to leave the workshop, so material is not sent out against a project that has paid nothing since the advance. Dispatch waits on it.

At handover

The balance, raised when fitting is finished. Open snags can be shown beside it.

Extras after approval

Units or upgrades added in a later revision are billed on their own, with the revision number quoted on the invoice.

Invoices and receipts

A GST invoice follows the accepted quote, so the unit list and the bill describe one kitchen. Cash, UPI, cheque, card and bank transfer are all recorded against the project with a receipt number. A client ledger shows what was invoiced, what came in and what is still due. Reminders go out by message. How tax applies to your work is for your accountant to settle.

Who works on billing

Accounts staff

Raise stage invoices, enter receipts, send reminders and keep the client ledger current.

Owner

Reads the balance standing against every live kitchen and what has been collected this month.

Designers

See whether a client has cleared the stage that releases dispatch. They do not edit invoices.

What billing does not cover

  • It is not an accounting package and does not file returns
  • Tax rates and treatment are confirmed by your accountant
  • Payment stages and reminder wording are decided with you
  • Figures reach Tally only through an export that is quoted separately
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can the number of stages differ by project?

Yes. A default set is loaded for your showroom, and a particular project can carry more or fewer stages.

Does dispatch wait for payment?

It can. A stage can be marked as the one that releases dispatch, and the store is warned when it is unpaid.

Are part payments recorded?

Yes. Several receipts can sit against one stage invoice, and the ledger carries the running balance.

Will our accountant be able to work from this?

Your accountant can read sales, receipts and purchase figures inside GullySystem. An export in a layout they ask for is priced on its own.
