Distributor finance — payables, price lists, challans, e-way bills & GSTR-2B

If you buy to re-sell — a distributor, wholesaler or trader — Finocket now covers the whole cycle: what you owe suppliers, the rates and limits you give each customer, the paperwork that moves goods, and matching your purchases to the government's records.

Purchase bills & payables

When you record an expense, you can now add the supplier, a bill date and a due date, and mark the bill paid or part-paid. An unpaid bill is money you owe, so it's carried as Accounts Payable on your balance sheet until you settle it.

The Outstanding screen has a Payables tab beside Receivables: it ages what you owe by supplier into current / 0–30 / 31–60 / 61–90 / 90+ buckets, so you can see what's due and pay in the right order. Tap Mark paid when a bill is settled.

Credit limits & price lists

On a customer you can set a credit limit. When a new invoice would push that customer past it, the invoice screen shows a warning — it never blocks you, it just makes sure you decide with the full picture (their open dues plus this bill).

Under Profile → Price lists you can build named price lists with a rate per item, then attach a list to a customer. Their invoices then fill in that customer's own rates automatically — your typed rate is never overwritten.

Delivery challans

Need to move goods before the invoice? Create a delivery challan from the invoice screen (pick the Delivery Challan document type). It prints as a challan, gets its own DC- number, and is never counted as a sale — it stays out of your books, your receivables and your GST returns. When the sale is confirmed, convert it to an invoice in one tap.

E-way bills

For any invoice or challan with a taxable value of ₹50,000 or more, generate an e-way bill file (the NIC EWB-01 JSON) from the document screen. If anything required is missing — a GSTIN, a PIN code, an HSN code or the transport distance — Finocket lists exactly what to add before it will produce the file.

GSTR-2B reconciliation

Download your GSTR-2B JSON from the GST portal and import it under GST → GSTR-2B recon. Finocket matches every line against your recorded purchases by supplier GSTIN and invoice number, and sorts them into matched, missing in your books, missing in 2B and tax mismatch. From the matched list you can mark input tax credit as claimed for the period, so you only take the ITC the government actually shows.
