What this actually means in practice

A plywood godown sells area, not pieces. Sheets come in standard sizes — eight by four being the common one — in several thicknesses and grades, and the same brand may run commercial, marine and boiling-water grades at very different rates. Customers buy full sheets, or ask for cut sizes for a wardrobe, leaving offcuts that still have value. Laminates, veneers, adhesives and hardware go out on the same delivery, and carpenters and builders buy on credit.

Thickness and grade are variants of the product, so stock is meaningful sheet by sheet instead of by brand name. Multi-unit items bill by sheet or by square feet with the conversion applied, which is how a cut-size order gets priced. Party and quantity price lists carry trade rates, credit limits and ageing keep builder dues in view, and site deliveries move on a delivery challan with an e-way bill where the consignment needs one.

What makes two sheets of the same brand different items
VariantWhy it cannot be merged
ThicknessRate per sheet changes with thickness; stock must be counted separately
Grade — commercial, marine, boiling-waterDifferent price and different use; substituting one is a dispute
Sheet sizeArea per sheet differs, so square-foot pricing differs
Face — plain, one side, both sidesAffects the rate and what the carpenter will accept
Laminate design and finishThe design code identifies it; two finishes are not interchangeable

What it does not do

  • · Cutting and offcuts are not tracked as their own stock — a cut-size sale reduces the sheet, but what is left over is not automatically created as a smaller piece.
  • · There is no cutting-plan or optimisation tool: LekhaPro will not work out how to get the most panels out of a sheet.
  • · Payroll is not part of LekhaPro, Tally data comes across through templates rather than a single import, and the Desktop edition needs Windows.

Frequently asked

Can it bill by sheet and square feet?

Yes — bill by sheet or sqft with thickness and size variants.

Does it handle bulk site orders?

Yes — sales orders, delivery challans and e-way bills.

Is it offline?

Yes — billing, stock and GST run offline.

Should I keep each thickness as a separate item?

Yes, or as a variant of the same product. Thickness and grade change both the rate and what the customer will accept, so merging them leaves you with a stock figure that cannot be trusted and margins that average the good sales with the bad. Held separately, reorder tells you which thickness is actually running out.

Can I bill a part sheet cut for a customer?

Yes, by billing in square feet. The item carries both units with a conversion, so a cut piece is priced on area while the godown balance still comes down correctly. What LekhaPro does not do is create the remaining offcut as new stock — most shops either absorb it or add it back manually when the piece is large enough to sell.

What exactly is included in Plywood · trade?

sheet / sqft billing, thickness & size variants, party price lists & credit, delivery challans & e-way bill, multi-godown stock and GST returns, and 1 more. Every item on that list is a working screen you can open in the trial rather than a capability described in the abstract.

How is plywood · trade handled differently here?

It rests on sheet / sqft billing, bulk & credit and stock & GST. The distinction that matters is that these are structural rather than cosmetic — the behaviour is built into how records are posted, not layered on as a report you have to remember to run.

Does Plywood · trade post to the real books?

Yes, and that is the whole reason it lives in this product rather than beside it. What sheet / sqft billing records lands in the same posted double-entry ledger the Trial Balance, P&L and GST returns are built from — so there is no second set of plywood · trade numbers to reconcile against the first.

How does Plywood · trade affect my GST?

It feeds it directly rather than sitting alongside it. CGST/SGST and IGST are split from HSN or SAC and place of supply as each document is raised, so whatever plywood · trade produces is already correct when GSTR-1, 3B and 2B reconciliation are drawn off the same books. The return matches the accounts because it was never a separate exercise.

Does Plywood · trade cost extra?

No. Plywood · trade is part of the accounting core rather than a paid add-on, so bulk & credit is there on the entry tier exactly as it is on the highest one. What the tiers change is reach and depth — devices, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on.
