Why Factory Stock on Paper Does Not Match the Floor

Raw material, WIP and a GST bill that was typed from a slip

Factory stock mismatches happen because inward, issue to the floor, and the sales bill are written in different books. Manufacturing inventory software records the movement once, so the quantity the store shows is the quantity that was received, issued or sold.

Who feels this first

Small and mid-size plants in Jharkhand’s industrial towns and elsewhere in India. The storekeeper and the accountant each defend a different number.

The challenge

1. Issue slips never return

Material leaves for a job and the store register is updated at the end of the shift, or the next day. The floor has already used a second lot.

2. Finished goods and raw material share a vague total

One sheet cannot tell you what can still be made. The sales team promises an order the store cannot build.

3. GST paperwork is retyped

The delivery happened. The invoice is typed from a challan. Quantities move between the two.

What teams try before they call

A monthly physical count that resets the sheet and explains nothing about the days in between. The next month drifts again.

How it gets solved

Inward, issue and sale move the same item. A job can see what was issued to it. The invoice quantity is the quantity that left.

A process that is special to your line — a weighbridge, a particular job card — is custom development on top of the inventory product, not a reason to keep the register.

When the ready screens need a change, that work is custom software.

Where this is searched

Plants in Jamshedpur, Bokaro, Dhanbad, Ranchi and other Indian industrial areas. The demo uses one raw material and one finished item from your list.

How a first setup runs

  • Pick the ten items that cause the arguments.
  • Load opening stock for those items only.
  • Run inward and issue for a week before the rest of the catalogue.
  • Questions buyers ask

    Do we have to load every SKU first?

    No. Start with the items that are wrong. A complete catalogue on day one delays the first true movement.

    Does this file GST returns by itself?

    It keeps the invoice and the stock movement together. Filing on the portal remains your accountant’s step, from figures that match the bill.
