Accounting Overview
The Accounting App is the financial backbone of Sevenledger. It is designed to be a complete ecosystem where your operations (buying and selling) meet your financials (profits and taxes).
Instead of treating inventory and accounting as separate islands, Sevenledger integrates them into a single workflow. When you buy stock, your asset value increases. When you sell it, your revenue is recorded instantly.
1. Inventory & Items (The Foundation)
Before you can buy or sell anything, you need to define what you are trading. The Items section is where your products and services live.
- Products (Goods): Physical items that you stock, count, and ship (e.g., “Cotton Hoodie”).
- Services: Non-physical offerings (e.g., “Consulting Fee,” “Delivery Charge”) that have a price but no stock count.
2. Sell (Money In)
The Sell module manages the entire “Order-to-Cash” lifecycle. It tracks the journey from the moment a customer asks for a price to the moment the money hits your bank.
- Estimates/Quotations: Send a proposal to a client. (Optional)
- Sales Orders: Confirm the deal and reserve stock for the customer.
- Invoices: The official request for payment. This records revenue in your ledger.
- Credit Notes: Manage returns or refunds if a customer sends goods back.
- Payments Received: The final step—recording the incoming cash or bank transfer.
3. Buy (Money Out)
The Buy module handles your procurement and accounts payable. It ensures you know exactly what is coming into the warehouse and who you owe money to.
- Purchase Orders: Send official requests to your suppliers.
- Bills: Record the financial debt (Accounts Payable) when you receive the vendor’s invoice.
- Vendor Credits: Handle returns to suppliers or record refunds for damaged goods.
- Payments Made: Settle your debts and track cash outflows.
4. Banking & Cashflow
Profit is theory; cash is reality. This section tracks the movement of liquid assets across your business.
- Bank Accounts: Track balances in Nabil, Siddhartha, or digital wallets like eSewa.
- Cash Accounts: Manage physical cash in your tills, safes, or petty cash boxes.
- Transfers: Record internal movements (e.g., depositing cash sales into the bank).
5. General Ledger & Settings
This is the engine room for accountants and administrators. It gives you direct control over the financial structure of the company.
- Chart of Accounts: Customize the “buckets” for your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities.
- Manual Journal: Post adjustments for depreciation, payroll, or tax corrections.
- Opening Balance: Migrate historical financial data when setting up a new account.
- Configuration: Set tax rates, payment terms, and create custom fields to capture unique business data.
