Sold today, delivered in three weeks
Furniture breaks the assumption that money and goods move together. The customer pays an advance in the showroom, the sofa is in a godown across town, delivery is next month, and something in between has to hold the promise without corrupting the books.

What makes this trade different
The sale and the dispatch are different days
A piece can be paid for, reserved, and still physically sitting in the godown for weeks. Booking it as gone is wrong; pretending it is available is worse.
The showroom piece is not for sale
Display stock is real stock in the wrong state. It shows in the total and disappoints the buyer who wanted the one in the box.
Every dispatch is a transport event
Bulky goods mean a vehicle, a value threshold and a document. The paperwork has real weight in this trade, not just a compliance footnote.
Advances against nothing yet
Part payment taken before delivery has to sit somewhere sensible and get applied to the right invoice when the invoice finally exists.
Features that exist, doing the actual work
Everything below is in the build you can download today.
Delivery challans that move goods, not the GL
A challan moves stock without posting a single ledger entry — so a piece that has physically left for a customer’s house before the invoice is raised is accounted for honestly. Convert it to a Sale with one key when it becomes one.
Showroom and godown as separate warehouses
Multi-warehouse tracking with real movements behind it. Display stock lives in its own location, so the sellable position is the position you can actually sell.
E-way bill straight from the voucher
The payload is generated from the voucher that created the movement, rather than the invoice being retyped into a portal by whoever is free.
Advances allocated bill-by-bill
Every receipt allocates against specific bills, so a booking advance lands on the invoice it belongs to instead of floating as an unexplained party credit.
FIFO or weighted-average, per item
A slow-moving high-value piece and a fast-moving accessory do not need the same valuation logic. Set a company default and override per item.
Stock journals for internal movement
Godown to showroom, showroom to a customer’s trial and back — two-legged postings, no fictional customer invented to explain the move.

Questions
Furniture & Home Furnishing — questions, answered
A piece is sold today but delivered in three weeks — how is that handled?
A delivery challan moves the stock without posting a single ledger entry, so a piece that has physically left for the customer's house before the invoice is raised is accounted for honestly. You convert the challan to a Sale with one key when it becomes one.
Can I keep showroom display stock separate from what I can actually sell?
Yes. Showroom and godown are separate warehouses with real movements behind them, so display stock lives in its own location and the sellable position is the position you can genuinely promise a buyer.
Where does a booking advance sit until the invoice exists?
Every receipt allocates against specific bills, so a booking advance lands on the invoice it belongs to when that invoice is raised, instead of floating as an unexplained credit on the party.
Can I generate an e-way bill for a bulky dispatch?
Yes. The e-way bill payload is generated straight from the voucher that created the movement, rather than the invoice being retyped into a portal by whoever is free.
Is GST — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, e-invoice — included?
Yes, in the single plan. All of it reads the same vouchers you raised, with HSN-wise summaries, so there is no separate re-entry.
Can a slow-moving costly piece and a fast accessory be valued differently?
Yes. Valuation is FIFO or weighted-average as a company default with a per-item override, so a high-value piece and a fast-moving accessory do not have to share the same logic.
