Finished-goods cost is an estimate
Without a bill of materials and real consumption, unit cost is back-calculated from purchases and never quite matches reality.
Solution
Manufacturing
Bill of materials, raw-material consumption, quality pass and finished-goods costing that flows into real inventory value.
What we hear
The problems that bring people to us
If you make what you sell, your margin depends on knowing what a finished unit actually cost. Penahak consumes real stock and produces real costed output, so inventory value and gross margin are derived rather than estimated.
Wastage is invisible
If wastage and by-product are not recorded, yield problems show up only as a margin that is quietly worse than expected.
Rejected output still gets sold
With no quality gate between production and saleable stock, failed batches reach customers.
Landed cost is ignored
Freight, duty and clearing on imported raw material never reach item cost, so every downstream margin is overstated.
A day on Penahak
One chain of documents, start to finish
Each step below creates or references a real document. Nothing is retyped between them, and every figure at the end traces back to the action that caused it.
Raw material received; freight and duty allocated as landed cost
Work order raised against the bill of materials
Material issued from stock as it is consumed
Output recorded with wastage and by-product; quality pass applied
Finished-goods costing rolls up into inventory value
Consumption and costing reports drill to the work order
Typical setup
The modules most businesses like yours run
A starting point, not a fixed bundle. Add or drop modules once we have seen how you operate.
Production
Light manufacturing that consumes real stock and produces costed output, with a production journal you can audit line by line.
- Bill of materials with multi-level components
- Production journal entries against work orders
- Raw-material consumption posted as real stock issues
- Finished-goods costing rolled up from materials and overhead

Production
Inventory & Stock
One inventory engine serves retail, restaurant, hotel minibar and manufacturing. Movements are vouchered, costed and reconcilable back to accounting.
- Products, groups, sub-groups, units, bundles and product targets
- Multi-godown stock with transfers, issues, adjustments and physical counts
- Serial-number and batch tracking with expiry and breakage handling
- Landed-cost allocation across purchase documents

Inventory & Stock
Sales & Purchase
Full order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles with challans, dispatch, returns and outstanding tracking at every stage — so you always know what is quoted, ordered, delivered, billed and unpaid.
- Sales quotation, order, challan, dispatch, invoice, return and replacement
- Purchase quotation, order, challan, invoice and return
- Outstanding tracking at quotation, order and challan level
- Bill term, discount and tax term engines shared with POS and hospitality

Sales & Purchase
Accounting & Finance
A double-entry core with a real chart of accounts, cost centres, fiscal-year control and immutable posting. Every sale, folio, payroll run and stock movement in Penahak resolves to a source document here.
- Chart of accounts with multi-level groups, sub-ledgers and general-ledger IDs
- Journal, day book, receipts, payments, contra and cash/bank vouchers
- Credit notes, debit notes and approved reversal paths — posted documents are never edited in place
- Cost centres, classes, areas, agents and user-defined fields for dimensional reporting

What changes
What you should expect to be different
Not features — outcomes. If these are not true six months after go-live, something has been configured wrongly and we want to hear about it.
- Unit cost is built from actual material, wastage and overhead
- Landed cost reaches item cost, so gross margin is honest
- Quality pass sits between production and saleable stock
- Inventory value in the balance sheet is derived from real movements
- Yield problems surface as consumption variance rather than as a margin mystery
Reporting
The reports you will live in
Every total drills down to the source document behind it.
Compliance
Nepali obligations handled in the core
IRD-ready fiscal invoicing
IRD-approved, with fiscal invoice behaviour in the central SalesBill and POS paths, IRD sync, VAT customer and vendor summaries, and an audit trail built for inspection rather than reconstructed after the fact.
Nepali fiscal year and dates
Bikram Sambat fiscal-year control, business-date close and dual-date handling throughout documents and reports.
Local payment providers
eSewa, Khalti, Fonepay, card, bank, QR and wallet adapters, with verification evidence required before a provider goes live. Cash stays simple: no merchant ID, no callback URL.
English and Nepali
Interface translations and a localisation layer in both the web application and the reporting engine.
Immutable audit trail
Every posting command carries an idempotency key. Corrections go through approved reversal or credit paths; posted truth is never edited in place.
Role-based security
Granular roles and permissions, IP address whitelisting, two-factor authentication, user activity logging, time-based account expiry, and stage-based setup gates that block posting until configuration is safe.
Getting there
How a go-live actually runs
01
Discovery
We map your outlets, books, stock locations and statutory obligations, and agree what go-live means.
02
Configuration
Chart of accounts, tax and bill terms, document numbering, godowns, roles and payment providers, all checked against the setup gates before anything posts.
03
Migration
Masters, opening balances and opening trial imported and reconciled against your closing figures.
04
Training
Role-based sessions for owners, cashiers, front desk, kitchen, storekeepers and accounts, using your own data.
05
Go-live
One full test cycle end to end, then supervised go-live with a support engineer on hand.
06
Aftercare
Ongoing support, statutory updates, new-release rollout and periodic health checks.
