Timber billing with CFT, RFT, stock and party ledger in one place.
QuickChallan helps timber, patti, plywood and laminate traders handle mixed trade units without forcing the shop to work like a generic retail counter.
QuickChallan keeps timber, patti, plywood and custom items connected with challan, purchase and stock records.
Timber billing is not simple item billing
A timber trader may purchase in large lots and sell in smaller sizes. Wood may be tracked by CFT, patti by RFT, plywood by sqft or sheet, and doors or hardware by nos. When all this is kept in paper, the owner has to depend on memory for quantity, rate and margin.
- CFT and RFT calculations must be recorded clearly.
- Old purchase rate should be visible before selling at a new rate.
- Party-wise quotation and challan history should be searchable.
- Stock movement should match real inward and outward material.
- Outstanding payments should not be hidden inside WhatsApp chats.
How QuickChallan fits timber trade units
| Material type | Common unit | QuickChallan use |
|---|---|---|
| Timber / wood | CFT | Use CFT-based item logic for wood quantity, stock and billing records. |
| Patti / beading | RFT | Record running feet without forcing sqft conversion. |
| Plywood / boards | Sheet and sqft | Track sheet size, sqft and stock movement together. |
| Doors and hardware | Nos and custom units | Add custom item quantities in the same challan with timber and plywood. |
| Supplier purchases | Purchase unit | Save inward entries so stock and purchase cost are easier to review. |
Daily workflow for timber traders
- Start with purchase: Record supplier bill and inward material so stock does not depend only on godown memory.
- Create challan: Add timber, patti, plywood and hardware items with their own units in one customer document.
- Check party ledger: See old dues and payments before extending more credit.
- Review cash: Use Cash Registry to track cash in, cash out and closing cash for the day.
- Handover for accounts: Keep daily records clean first, then export or share data for accounting work.
