You changed the rate before the shutter went up and you are billing against it an hour later. The number on the bill is the number you set this morning, and the account it goes onto already has three loads on it.

Billing App for Iron & Steel ShopA sariya counter, where the rate moved again this morning
सरिया क्विंटल में, एंगल किलो में, पाइप मीटर में — और भाव कल वाला नहीं है।
TMT by the quintal, angle by the kilo, pipe by the metre — and a rate that is not yesterday's.

AT THE COUNTER
Six quintals of 12mm, at today's rate, on the site's account
An iron and steel shop opens on **udhaar outstanding**, and the low-stock warning starts at fifty rather than five or ten — because the smallest quantity that means anything here is a different order of magnitude from the rest of retail.
SAME APP, YOUR SHOP
Three things that are different here
Personalisation in this product is defaults, a bounded set of tools, and vocabulary — never a separate app per trade. What follows is the whole of what changes.
Kilos first, quintals second
The only other trade on this site that counts in quintals is the wholesaler, and it reaches for them in a different order. Here the shelf is weighed and the heavy stock is quoted per quintal, so the list is arranged that way rather than starting at *piece* like a shop selling objects.
Re-rating is a fast screen, not a settings page
The rate is the business. Changing prices is the first thing you do most mornings, so it is arranged to be done quickly and repeatedly rather than treated as an occasional administrative act.
Every bill records who made it
A disputed load is the expensive argument in this trade, and the record has to stand up. Nothing is deleted, a correction is a further entry, and the name of whoever billed it is on the row.
WHAT ARRIVES SET UP
What a iron & steel gets on the first screen
Not a demo. This is the actual configuration the app applies when you pick Iron & Steel at sign-up — the same data the app itself reads.
The units, in this order
- Kg
- Quintal
- Piece
- Metre
The first one is the default, because it is what this trade sells most of. Every quantity in the app carries its unit — there is no bare number anywhere.
The tools this turns on
- Stock, in units
- Wholesale pricing
And nothing else. A trade is only offered at sign-up once every tool it needs has actually shipped — 59 of 172 trades pass that test today.
The items it starts you with
Tap to add, then set your own price. They are a guess at your shelf and you will correct some of them — that is expected, and it is why they live on the server rather than inside an app release.

Twelve of 20. The rest of the pack is in the app — this table is here so you can check the list is really your shelf, and a dozen rows settles that faster than 20 does.
Low-stock warnings start at 50, which is a starting point for this trade rather than a rule. Change it per item.
NOT YOUR TRADE?
58 others have a page, and 59 trades are live
Each of these is a different unit list, a different set of tools and a different first figure — not this page with a word swapped. The nearest ones first.
