1Sets and singles from one stock
A 72-piece dinner set is one package; a plate is one piece. If a customer wants a single plate from an opened set, the stock converts correctly. Tea sets, glass sets and cutlery packs follow the same idea, so you can sell both ways without keeping two stock figures.

2Breakage is a real cost
Glass and ceramic break during delivery, unpacking and display. Record each case as damage with the quantity. It leaves saleable stock and appears in the net profit report as a loss, so the real cost of breakage shows up each month. Ask the supplier about replacements when a lot arrives cracked, using your records as proof.
Without a system
- Breakage never recorded
- Sets and singles counted separately
- Discounts unclear
With Dukaan POS
- Damage written off with quantity
- Packages convert to pieces
- Discounts on the bill
3Negotiated prices
In crockery, customers expect a discount, especially on sets. Take a bill discount in rupees to round a deal down, or a line discount on one item. The profit report uses the price you actually charged, so you can see whether your discounts leave enough margin.

Stock lives in one base unit, so any package converts cleanly.
4Supplier accounts
Crockery comes from wholesalers in a few trading cities, often on credit. Record each delivery with the bill number and the freight cost where relevant, enter what you paid, and keep the balance and pay-by date. You can see each supplier's history in one place.
5Seeing what earns
Product sales and gross profit show which sets and categories earn the most for the shelf space they take. Heavy and bulky lines that sell slowly deserve a closer look, since they tie up both money and room.
6Display and counting
Crockery is displayed in sets and singles, which makes counting tricky. After a busy week, count the shelves for your top sets and enter any difference as an adjustment. Breakage found during counts is recorded as damage so that stock and cost stay correct. A monthly count of the most valuable items takes under an hour and protects the largest part of your stock value.
7Wedding and gift orders
Wedding season brings orders for dinner sets, tea sets and glassware, often with a deposit. Record the sale with the advance paid and keep the balance on the customer's page. When the goods are collected, take the remaining payment, and the page shows the whole transaction. For large orders, check stock a week ahead so you can order missing sets in time.
