Paint Dealer Purchases and Site Stock for Painting Contractors
Tins, putty and consumables bought from paint dealers are recorded and booked to the site that used them. The balance owed to each dealer is visible alongside the cost of every job.
Purchases from the dealer
Site stock and job cost
Each site has a running stock of putty, primer, paint and consumables. What was sent minus what came back is the material cost of that job. Set against the quotation, it shows whether the site is making a margin. Overruns surface early.
Godown stock
A contractor with a small godown keeps brushes, rollers, ladders, spray machines and spare tins. These are counted by item, with the site that last had them. Equipment stops vanishing between jobs.
What this module does not do
It does not choose the dealer. Returns policy, tinting charges and discounts are between you and the dealer. A barcode or label printer for tins can be added if you want it, and that is confirmed during scoping.
Frequently asked questions
Can I record a purchase made by a supervisor from a shop?
Yes. A small cash purchase is entered with the shop name, the amount and the site, so the cost is not lost in petty cash.
Does it show how much I owe each dealer?
Yes. Each dealer has a ledger of bills and payments, and the owner reads the balance by dealer.
Can paint bought for one site be used at another?
Yes. The tin is moved between sites in the record, and the cost follows it.
Does it export to Tally?
Purchases and payments can go to your accountant as an export. If you want Tally linked directly, that is scoped on its own.
