Jobwork & material accounting

Whose kilogram is it, and where is it now?

Jobwork is somebody else's material in your plant, or your material in somebody else's. Nexora Jobwork answers both directions from one append-only ledger: what came in, what each stage did with it, what went back, what is still out — and the GST paperwork that has to go with it.

The idea

No "quantity on hand" field anywhere

Every balance you see is added up from the documents that produced it, at the moment you look. That is why the statement you hand a customer cannot drift away from the challans they are holding.

Every kilogram has a planMaterial cannot be received without a jobwork plan, because material with no plan is material nobody can be billed for or asked to return.
Plan-owned stockOne customer's granule can never be consumed on another customer's job. A refusal names the plan, the item, the batch, what is available and the exact excess.
Nothing is ever editedA posted document cannot be changed or deleted. A mistake is corrected by a reversal with a reason on it, and both stay — that is the audit trail.
Batch traceability both waysFrom a finished bale back to the customer challan it arrived on, and from an incoming batch forward to every bag it became.
Inward jobwork

Their material, your plant

Six documents from the customer's lorry to your invoice, and the reconciliation is folded out of them every time you look at it.

  • Receipt against their challan number, with your own batch and theirs
  • Issue to extrusion, weaving, lamination, printing, cutting and stitching
  • Stage-wise yield against the standard loss and tolerance you set per process
  • Material you supply — coating granule, ink, thread — posts as yours, so it is billable
  • Return challan, reconciliation statement, and a closure that settles the job
  • Invoice at the rate agreed for that process on that date, recorded on the invoice itself
Outward jobwork

Your material, their plant — and the statute

The paperwork that has to leave with the lorry, and the clock that starts when it does.

  • Delivery challan under Rule 45/55, on its own number series
  • E-way bill Part A checked before the vehicle leaves — it says what is missing
  • Section 143: one year for inputs, three for capital goods, counted from the day it went out. Warned at half the period, not on the last day
  • ITC-04 Table 4 and 5A for the quarter, built from the same register your screens show
  • The job worker's bill against what you received and what you agreed — quantity and rate kept apart
The screens

Photographs of the running application

Not mock-ups. Every screen below is the software with a worked job loaded — a tonne of PP granule becoming laminated fabric, with the waste accounted for.

01 • DASHBOARD

It opens on what needs somebody

Material standing in the stages, what is unaccounted, what is still with a job worker and how long it has been there. If the screen is empty there is nothing to do, which is the point.

02 • THE JOBWORK PLAN

The reconciliation, and every stage beside it

Received from the customer, added by you, finished goods, waste, rejection, process loss and what is still in the stages — with each stage's yield against its standard. All of it added up from the ledger when the screen is drawn.

03 • RECEIVING MATERIAL

The document number is allocated when it posts

An abandoned form burns nothing, and two people saving in the same second cannot claim one number. A batch is required on every line, because a kilogram with no batch cannot be traced anywhere.

04 • STOCK

By plan, item, batch, stage — and whose it is

The customer's material is in your plant and is never your stock. It is reported separately for exactly that reason.

05 • JOBWORK CHALLANS

Every open challan carries its own clock

Section 143: one year for inputs, three years for capital goods, from the day the material went out. Past it, the material is deemed supplied on that date — so the warning starts at half the period, not on the last day.

06 • ITC-04

What you file is what your own screens say

Table 4 (sent out) and Table 5A (received back) for the quarter, built from the same challan register the plant works from — not a separate calculation that can disagree with it.

07 • EXCEPTION CENTRE

Eleven things that can be wrong, and what clears each one

Negative stock, unaccounted material, a stage holding material, loss above standard, a plan that could be closed, work done and not invoiced, no rate agreed, a deadline approaching. Every card carries the numbers that raised it and the words that clear it — a list that only knows how to light up is a list nobody opens after a fortnight.

08 • TRACEABILITY

Both directions of the only question that matters in a recall

Where did this batch come from, and where did it go. Backwards to the customer challan it arrived on; forwards to the bags it became and the challan they left on.

09 • PROFITABILITY

A margin that admits what it does not know

Revenue is what was invoiced; cost is the material you supplied plus each stage's setup and per-kilogram cost. Any figure the software does not have is named above the table and the margin is marked incomplete — a margin with a hole in it that looks like a margin is worse than none, because a plant would act on it.

10 • THE RELATIONSHIP MAP

Right-click any document and the whole job is drawn

What came in, what each stage did with it, what went back out, and the invoice — with a line for every link and a sentence saying what each line means. Underneath, the two chains: where this came from, and what became of it, step by step.

Most software draws a map like this by remembering that somebody copied one document from another. This one is drawn from the batch chain: every output batch records the batches it was made from, so a line means this material became that. Colour says what each document is, dragging moves the map and Ctrl with the wheel zooms it.

11 • BACKUP & TWO MACHINES

The office PC and the floor tablet, a day apart

Each machine carries a site code that goes inside its document numbers, so two machines working with no connection between them cannot allocate the same number. Merging is checked before it is applied: every posting from both machines, present exactly once.

On the floor, and in the office

Built for gloves as well as for a keyboard

The weighing scaleThe weight comes off the indicator. A reading it has not marked stable is not a weight, and the post button stays off until it settles.
Batch labels & scanningPrinted Code 39 labels with a check digit, so a damaged or half-scanned label is refused rather than read as a different batch.
Works offline, alwaysThe data lives on the machine. No internet, no server, no subscription to the plant floor being connected.
Real Excel, not CSVEvery register exports as a proper workbook: frozen heading, sized columns, and figures that are numbers you can sum.
Every message a bulbThe software explains itself, and puts the words away when you do not need them. Hover to read; the screen stays clean.
The document mapRight-click any document: the whole job drawn from the batch chain, with backward and forward from wherever you are.
Hands off to your booksNo second ledger. Invoices go to Tally or SAP B1 as structured documents, with the party statement to reconcile against.
