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 ERP software for Nepal
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
Production order raised against the bill of materials
Output recorded with rejects and by-products on the production journal
Materials leave stock when the journal is approved at the quality check
Finished-goods costing rolls up into inventory value
Consumption and costing reports list each production journal
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 raw materials, fixed costs and by-products
- Production journal entries against production orders
- Raw materials leave stock when the journal is approved at the quality check
- Finished-goods costing rolled up from materials and fixed costs

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 and stock adjustments
- 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, fiscal-year control and logged corrections. Every sale, folio, payroll run and stock movement in Penahak resolves to a source document here.
- Chart of accounts with multi-level groups and sub-ledgers
- Journal, day book, receipts, payments, contra and cash/bank vouchers
- Credit notes, debit notes, returns and same-day cancels; approved and reconciled documents are locked
- Projects or business units, classes, areas, agents and user-defined fields on documents

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
- Rejected quantity and by-products are recorded on each journal
Reporting
The reports you will live in
Many totals open the document behind them.
Compliance
Nepali obligations handled in the core
IRD-ready fiscal invoicing
Fiscal invoice behaviour is built into the sales invoice and POS paths themselves rather than added on top, with IRD synchronisation, VAT customer and vendor summaries, and an audit trail written as you trade rather than reconstructed afterwards.
Nepali fiscal year and dates
Bikram Sambat fiscal-year control, business-date close and dual-date handling throughout documents and reports.
Payment methods
Cash, card, bank transfer, QR and wallet payments are recorded against the bank account you choose. Penahak does not move the money.
English and Nepali
English and Nepali in the accounting, inventory, retail POS, HR and report screens. The hotel, restaurant and CRM screens are in English.
Controlled corrections
With IRD on, saved invoices cannot be changed: they are corrected by returns or same-day cancels. Approved, reconciled and locked documents cannot be edited, and edits are logged.
Role-based security
Granular roles and permissions, sign-in by listed IP addresses, account lock after wrong passwords, user activity logging and account start and end dates.
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 methods, checked before the first live day.
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, new releases, and the help centre’s step-by-step guides.
