Stock

Know what is on the shelf without counting it

Turn on inventory for a product and every sale takes it out of stock while every supplier bill adds it back. Run more than one shop or a godown? Keep each as a warehouse and move goods between them.

  • Stock adjustments and Stock Wastage

  • Payments matched to bills

Questions shop owners ask

Is ProfitBooks really free for a small shop?

Yes. The free Startup plan gives one user 10 invoices a month, up to 50 customers and 10 products, expense tracking and basic financial reports. There is no time limit and no pressure to upgrade. When the shop needs more, move to a paid plan from the pricing page.

Can one invoice have items at different GST rates?

Yes. Each line on a ProfitBooks invoice takes its own GST rate, so a bill that mixes items on different slabs works out the tax line by line. The totals for every rate flow into your GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries.

Does stock go down automatically when I make a sale?

Yes. Turn on inventory for a product and every invoice reduces its stock, while every purchase bill adds to it. Product Wise Stock shows what you have, and the Low Stock report lists items that have fallen below their reorder level.

Can I manage stock for more than one shop or godown?

Yes. Add each shop or godown as a warehouse, see stock by location in the Store Wise Stock report and move goods between them with transfers. The number of warehouses depends on your plan, as listed on the pricing page.

How do I record damaged or expired stock?

Record a stock adjustment for the item and location. Stock and its value are corrected straight away, and the Stock Wastage report keeps a record of everything written off.

Can I bill buyers or pay suppliers in another currency?

Yes. ProfitBooks can invoice overseas buyers and record supplier bills in their currency, and the Gain or Loss report shows the effect of exchange-rate changes. Multi-currency is part of the Growth and SMB Pro plans.

Do I need to install anything on the shop computer?

No. ProfitBooks is online accounting software, so there is nothing to download or install. Sign up with your email address and use it in a browser, or use the ProfitBooks app for iOS and Android.

Can my accountant work in the same books?

Yes. Invite your accountant or auditor by email from the Accounting menu. They get read-only access to your reports and ledgers, so they can review everything without changing an entry. Auditor access is part of the SMB Pro plan.

Run the counter. Let the books keep up.

GST bills in under a minute, stock that updates itself and supplier dues you can see. Free for one user, no card needed.
