The invoice said 8,000 dollars. It cost you 11,400.
A consignment picks up costs long after the invoice — freight, duty, clearing — and if those never reach the stock value, every margin downstream is wrong.
Sound familiar?
If none of these are your business, this probably is not the page for you — and we would rather you found that out here than on a call.
- 01
The invoice said 8,000 dollars. By the time it cleared it had cost 11,400, and the stock still shows 8,000.
- 02
The clearing agent invoices six weeks later, and by then the goods are already sold.

Your margin is calculated on the purchase price — the one number that was never the cost.
Landed cost, two currencies, and margins that survive both.
What you will be looking at
The screens this trade lives in
Every one of these exists today. Nothing here is something we would build for you later — that part has its own heading further down.
Purchases
Consignments in PKR and AED, held to the paisa and the fils rather than rounded.
Items
What each thing genuinely landed at, once everything that followed it has been added.
Inventory
Valuation that carries what you paid, not what the invoice said on the day.
Contacts
Supplier ledgers that stay readable across currencies.
Bank reconciliation
Statement in, matched, and the difference explained rather than absorbed.
Reports
Margin per consignment, after the clearing agent has finally invoiced.
What it already does
About the hard part
- Purchases in PKR and AED, held in minor units
- Inventory valuation that carries what you paid
- Supplier ledgers across currencies
Usually built on top
Landed-cost apportionment across a consignment, on the basis your trade uses — value, weight or volume.
Scoped and quoted in writing before anything is built, and it ships into your own books — so a custom report reconciles to the statutory ones rather than disagreeing with them.
How custom work fits in →Not quite your trade?
The ledger underneath is the same one. What changes is the costing, the chart of accounts and which screens you open first.
Bring a bill you have not entered yet
We photograph it on the call and you watch the draft entry come back. It is a better demonstration than anything we could write here.
