Buyer requirement
Follow stock from supplier receipt to field issue
Supplier purchases add traceable product stock and payable context. Morning issue then assigns selected quantities and rates to a named DSR for a date, giving the dealer a clear starting record for route accountability.
Buyer requirement
Keep shop balances and collections connected
Shops, shop due ledgers, SR due ledgers, DSR finance, and collection entries help the office see what was sold on due, what was collected, and what remains outstanding. A collection should be recorded against the correct shop or representative instead of reducing a general balance without context.
Buyer requirement
Close the route with stock and cash evidence
Evening settlement separates sold stock, good returns, damaged returns, extra returns, discounts, handovers, cash received, previous due, and new due. Managers can compare the result with issued stock, physical returns, collection evidence, and finance-account movement.
Buyer requirement
Test distributor reporting with your own route
In a demo, create one supplier receipt, morning issue, shop collection, return, and settlement. Then review pending settlements, DSR performance, product sales, returns, collection totals, shop and DSR dues, stock movement, cash, and profit. Confirm branches, permissions, exports, and approval rules before rollout.
Evaluation checklist
Match the software to the way your team actually works
List the transactions, approvals, reports, user roles, devices, data migration needs, and support expectations your business depends on. Test those requirements with realistic sample records, then use the linked StockLedger feature and solution pages to examine the relevant workflows in detail.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track stock issued to each DSR?
Yes. Morning issue records products, case or piece quantities, rates, DSR, and date before the route begins.
Can I see individual shop balances?
Yes. Shop due-ledger workflows preserve balance and collection history for shop-level review.
How are returns handled at settlement?
Good, damaged, and qualifying extra returns are recorded separately and included in the payable and closing-due calculation.
Which distributor reports should I test?
Test pending issues and settlements, DSR performance, product movement, sales, returns, collections, shop and DSR dues, supplier balances, cash, and profit.
What controls are still manual?
Physical stock counts, route supervision, receipt verification, cash deposit checks, dispute handling, and approval of discounts or corrections still need responsible staff.
