Accounting & Invoicing
Khata, invoices and receivables in one ledger — so you know who owes what without flipping pages.
The khata works. That is the honest starting point — a well-kept register has run profitable businesses for generations. What it does not do is answer questions quickly: total receivables today, which party has crossed their credit period, what a customer bought over the last six months.
An accounting system should keep the logic of the khata you already trust, and add the ability to ask it questions. If it forces a different way of thinking about party accounts, it will be abandoned within a month.
What it fixes
- Receivables that are only truly known when someone sits down and adds the register up
- Parties quietly crossing their credit limit because nobody can see the running balance at the time of sale
- Invoices written by hand, so the copy you keep and the copy they keep sometimes disagree
- No quick view of an old transaction when a customer disputes it
- Month-end closing that takes days and still leaves differences to chase
What gets built
A starting point, not a fixed list. The build is scoped to your own process before anything is written.
Party ledgers
An account per customer and supplier with a running balance, exactly as the khata does, but instantly totalled.
Invoicing
Printed or digital invoices with your own format, numbered in sequence, with the copy stored against the party.
Receivables and payables
Who owes you, who you owe, how long it has been outstanding, and which accounts have crossed their terms.
Receipts and payments
Cash, bank and cheque entries recorded against invoices, so part payments do not become a puzzle.
Day book
Everything entered today, in one view, which is how most owners actually want to check the day.
Statements
A party statement for any date range, ready to send when a customer asks what their balance is made of.
Who this is for
Shops, traders and small companies where the owner still personally knows the parties, credit is a normal part of business, and the register is becoming hard to total. Not aimed at companies that need full double-entry financial statements and audit-grade reporting — that is a different build.
Questions
Is this like Tally or QuickBooks?
Simpler, and aimed at how trading businesses here actually work — party khata first, formal accounting second. If you need statutory financial statements and your auditor is already working in Tally, that may serve you better.
Can we keep using our own invoice format?
Yes, and we would prefer to. An invoice your customers already recognise is worth more than a cleaner template they do not.
What about sales tax invoices?
Supported if you are registered and need them, including the fields FBR expects. This is worth confirming during scoping because requirements differ between registered and unregistered businesses.
