Gold billed by the gram, timber bought in one unit and sold in another, kuri receipts by the hundred: Thrissur's books are harder than most, and GST made them harder.

Accountants in Thrissur earn their keep. A jewellery invoice from a Kokkalai workshop must show metal value and making charges separately and account for old gold taken in exchange. A timber trader at Chalakudy buys by cubic measure and sells by the piece. An ayurveda manufacturer at Koratty sells through distributors in several states. Most of this still runs in Tally with spreadsheets, and month-end is a scramble.
ERPNext accounting replaces that arrangement with one connected ledger. Every sale, purchase, receipt and stock movement posts to the accounts as it happens. GST invoices, e-invoices and e-way bills come from the same entry, TDS is deducted by rule, and multi-branch or multi-company books consolidate without exporting anything.
When sales sit in the billing software and purchases in Tally, the return is assembled by hand and the mismatches surface later as notices. With both sides in one system, GST reports are drawn from posted invoices and purchase credits can be checked against supplier filings before the return goes out.
Exchange of old ornaments and scheme redemptions are often noted on the estimate slip and journalled later. Recording them as proper transactions at the counter keeps the customer's account, the stock of old gold and the tax treatment consistent from the start.
A Thrissur business family may run a showroom on High Road, a finance firm and a property concern as separate entities with shared expenses. Multi-company accounting keeps each set of books distinct, handles inter-company entries cleanly, and gives the family a combined view.

An example
It is a Tuesday in the second week of the month at a jewellery manufacturing firm off Kokkalai. The accountant opens ERPNext and finds yesterday's counter sales already posted, each invoice split into metal value and making charge at their separate GST rates. Two customers exchanged old ornaments; both appear as purchase entries with weight and assessed purity, not as a scribble on an estimate. A goldsmith in Avannur returned finished bangles overnight, and the job-work receipt has moved the metal from his ledger back into stock. By eleven the accountant runs the return draft and checks supplier invoices against the purchase register before it goes to the auditor. After lunch a partner asks what the Guruvayur showroom made last week; the branch profit report answers without a phone call. The Tally file stays closed all day.
We set up the chart of accounts, tax templates and opening balances with your accountant and, where you wish, your auditor. For a Thrissur firm that means a few sessions in your accounts room, then a parallel run for one return period before you rely on the new figures. Ongoing queries are handled from Kochi by phone and screen share.
Discovery. Your chart of accounts, GST registrations, branches and how the month closes today.
Blueprint and fixed scope. A clear plan, the deliverables and the timeline, agreed in writing before configuration starts.

Data migration. Masters, opening balances and outstanding bills moved from Tally or spreadsheets, reconciled with your accountant.
Training, go-live and support. Your team tests on real data, we stand beside you at launch, then support continues under a plan.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
Gold and jewellery manufacturing and retail
Invoices that split metal and making charges at the right GST rates, purchase entries for old gold, scheme advances held as liabilities until redeemed, and branch-wise profit visible without waiting for the auditor.
Timber, plywood and furniture
Purchase in cubic measure and sale in pieces or square feet with conversions handled by the item, e-way bills raised with the invoice for every lorry leaving a Chalakudy yard, and tax collected or deducted at source applied by rule.
Ayurveda and wellness
Inter-state sales to distributors with the correct tax, batch-wise cost of production flowing into the accounts, expiry returns credited properly, and for treatment centres, package income recognised against the stay.
Most auditors care about a clean trial balance, ledgers they can drill into and GST reports that reconcile. ERPNext provides all three and exports to Excel. We are happy to walk your auditor through the system early.
Yes. With the India compliance app, ERPNext produces e-invoices with the reference number and QR code, and e-way bills, from the sales invoice itself. Your turnover decides whether e-invoicing applies to you.
No. ERPNext is open source and carries no per-user licence fee, so adding a branch accountant or giving a partner read-only access does not change a licence bill. You pay for implementation, hosting and support.
After a first conversation about your entities, GST registrations, users and the system you use today, we agree the scope and send you a written quotation. The price, the deliverables and the timeline are fixed against that scope before any work starts, so nothing grows without your sign-off.
You speak to someone who does this work, not a call centre. They ask about how your books, GST filing and month-end run today. If it looks like a fit, we agree the scope and put it in writing, with the timeline, before any work starts. If it does not, we tell you.
Kokkalai gold market, Thrissurmarket
the city's jewellery manufacturing and wholesale gold trade quarter
Workshops and wholesale dealers here buy metal, issue it to goldsmiths and sell by weight, so the books must carry grams and purity beside rupees.

long-standing timber mart with sawmills, plywood and woodcraft units; Thrissur and Chalakudy are the district's main timber marts
Sawmills and plywood units buy logs in cubic measure and sell sheets and pieces, with an e-way bill on every lorry leaving the yard.

Medicine makers here sell to stockists across several states, so inter-state GST, batch-wise production cost and expiry returns all have to land in the ledger.
