Retail & Trading

Real gross margin — because duty and freight land on the goods, not the month.

Imported stock looks cheaper than it is when customs duty and inward freight are expensed as they are paid. Consaya joins those costs to the goods they were paid on, so margin is right on the day of sale rather than by accident at a period end.

How Retail & Trading firms use Consaya

Item master

SKUs with cost and price, and a costing method — weighted average or FIFO — that locks on the first movement so history can never be silently restated.

Goods inward

Receive against the purchase order; the receipt moves the purchase into stock rather than recording a second cost.

Landed cost

Add duty, clearing and inward freight to goods already on hand, so the cost of an imported item is the cost of getting it here.

Sell and settle

A sale releases cost of goods at the item’s real cost. Card takings sit on a settlement account until the processor pays, net of its fee.

Counts and shrinkage

Stock takes post their difference to shrinkage, with the direction carried by the movement itself rather than the sign of a number.

In the UAE

Tax invoices carry your TRN and 5% VAT with per-line tax categories, so a zero-rated export and an exempt supply are never flattened into the same 0%.

What changes

  • Price from real landed cost
  • See gross margin on the day, not at year end
  • Reconcile card and aggregator payouts to the takings
