ERP module — Trade Node

Purchases, full books and an enterprise-grade finance close.

The buying side, the books and the company finance team’s close, with control built in. Purchase orders route through maker-checker approval, ledgers remain separate by entity, and authorised finance staff can prepare consolidated, Schedule III-ready numbers with a complete audit trail.

What it does for you

• Purchases that become stock: POs and goods receipts flow straight into warehouse stock — no separate inward register.
• Approvals before money moves: Amount-based maker-checker chains hold purchase orders, supplier payments and expenses until the right people approve — a maker can never clear their own request.
• Supplier bills with GST and TDS: Book purchase bills with GST breakup, deduct TDS where sections apply, and pay against them with the supplier ledger always current.
• Assets, budgets and cost centres: A fixed-asset register with scheduled depreciation runs, budgets tracked against actuals, and cost centres that tag spending where it belongs.
• Books that close properly: Recurring entries post themselves, reviewed periods lock against back-dated edits, and year close carries balances forward — double-entry running quietly under the trade.
• Group close without mixed books: Freeze entity trial balances, investigate inter-company mismatches, pass consolidation-only eliminations, complete close checklists and obtain independent sign-off without writing over the source ledgers.
• Statutory and audit workpapers: Version Schedule III mappings, prepare lead schedules and samples, keep current and deferred-tax workings, and preserve the evidence and review trail behind every reported figure.
• Statements and GSTR summaries: Trial balance, P&L, balance sheet and GSTR-1/GSTR-3B summaries, exportable for filing.

What's inside — 6 sub-modules

Buying ERP switches on these sub-modules in your Trade Node portal:

• Suppliers: Supplier master with GSTIN, payment terms and a running supplier ledger — the purchase side of the party book, always current.
• Purchase Orders: Purchase orders through goods receipt into warehouse stock, with amount-based maker-checker approval chains available so a maker can never clear their own order.
• Purchase Bills: Supplier bills booked with GST breakup and TDS deducted where sections apply — including lower-deduction certificates with live headroom tracking — and payments recorded against them.
• Expenses: Categorised business expenses with GST, routed through the same approval chains as purchases when they cross your thresholds.
• Accounting: Full double-entry under the trade: chart of accounts, journal vouchers, opening balances, recurring entries that post on schedule, cost centres and budgets with variance alerts, a fixed-asset register with scheduled depreciation runs, period locks against back-dated edits, and a guided year close that carries balances forward — and can be reopened exactly if something surfaces later.
• Financial Statements & GST Reports: Trial balance, P&L and balance sheet with last year alongside, plus GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries — exportable for filing.

Pricing & activation
