Billing Software for Small Manufacturers in India-Track Production Costs, Raw Materials and Profit Per Unit

Running a small manufacturing unit in India means juggling
raw materials, production costs, job work, and GST invoices
— all at once. And most manufacturers still cannot tell you
exactly what it costs to make one unit of their product.
That is not a knowledge problem. That is a software problem.
Accountune fixes it — billing, inventory, and cost tracking
built for Indian small manufacturers, starting at ₹799 a year.

Not the sale price. Not the market rate. The actual cost — raw materials bought from suppliers, labour paid per batch, electricity used, packaging, delivery, and every small production expense in between. If you cannot answer this clearly, you have no real way of knowing whether you are making money or just keeping busy.

This is the real problem with running a small manufacturing unit in India. The billing part — creating GST invoices, sending them to buyers — most businesses manage that somehow. What they cannot manage is the cost side. Raw material bills go into one folder. Labour is paid in cash. Production expenses are remembered roughly. Scrap and wastage are invisible. And at the end of the month, profit is whatever is left in the bank — not something that was calculated.

Accountune is manufacturing billing software India built specifically for this situation. It handles your GST billing for finished goods dispatches, but it also tracks your raw material purchases, production expenses, and overhead costs — so you can calculate your real cost per unit and see your actual manufacturing profit every single month.

No ERP. No complex setup. No accountant required. Just clear numbers for every production run.

The Problem: Why Most Small Manufacturers Do Not Know Their Real Profit

Walk into any small manufacturing unit in India — furniture, garments, food products, plastic components, auto parts, candles, leather goods, anything — and ask the owner: are you making money this month? Nine out of ten will give you a confident yes. Ask them to show you the numbers and the confidence disappears.

The issue is not that they are not working hard or not billing their buyers. The issue is that cost tracking and billing exist in completely separate worlds. Billing happens on paper or in basic software. Costs are tracked in a register, or a WhatsApp note, or just in the owner’s head. And when the two are never brought together, you can never know whether you are actually profitable or just cash-flow positive.

There is a difference between these two things. A manufacturer who sells goods and receives payments is cash-flow positive. A manufacturer who sells goods at a price higher than the total cost of making them is profitable. Many small manufacturers are the first without being the second — and they only find out when the bank balance starts shrinking despite good sales.

The root cause is that existing software options are not made for this situation. Basic billing apps create invoices but ignore production costs entirely. Tally handles full manufacturing accounting but requires a trained accountant to set it up and maintain it daily. ERP systems are so complex that a small unit with 10 people cannot even begin to use them. So most small manufacturers end up with billing software on one side and manual cost tracking on the other — and the two never connect.

Accountune sits in the middle of this gap. It is manufacturing billing software that handles GST invoicing for dispatches while also tracking raw material purchases, production expenses, and per-unit costs — all from one simple cloud platform. You get the billing side and the cost side working together, without needing a dedicated accountant or an ERP consultant.

 

📌 In short: Accountune connects your purchase costs, production expenses and GST billing in one platform — so you always know your real manufacturing profit.

10 Features That Give Small Manufacturers Cost Clarity and Clean Billing

Raw material tracking, production expense recording, per-unit cost calculation, and GST-compliant billing — everything a small manufacturer needs to know their real profit every month.

📦

Raw Material Purchase Tracking — Every Supplier Bill Recorded with GST ITC

Every raw material you buy has a price, and that price becomes the base of your production cost. If raw material purchases are not tracked accurately, your cost calculations are wrong from the start. Accountune lets you record every raw material purchase from every supplier — supplier name, material, quantity, rate, GST amount — all in one entry. The supplier's outstanding updates automatically and ITC is captured immediately.

  • Supplier, material, quantity, rate, GST — all recorded in one entry
  • ITC captured on every GST-registered supplier bill
  • Supplier outstanding updated automatically with every purchase
  • Complete purchase cost picture at any time
💡 Every rupee spent on raw materials is recorded, your GST ITC is fully captured, and your supplier outstanding is always accurate. 📌 In short: Accountune records every raw material purchase with supplier, quantity, rate, GST and ITC — giving you a complete purchase cost picture at any time. 📌 Raw Material Tracking
⚙️

Production Expense Tracking — Labour, Electricity, Packaging and Every Overhead

Raw materials are the most visible cost of manufacturing, but rarely the only one. Labour paid per batch or per day. Electricity on production days. Fuel, packaging, loading, transport — each is a real cost eating into your margin, and most small manufacturers track none of it properly. Accountune lets you record production expenses with custom categories matching your factory process.

  • Custom categories — daily labour, electricity, packaging, transport, maintenance
  • Each expense recorded with amount, date, and category
  • Total production overhead per category at month end — actual, not estimated
  • Identify where overheads are rising before they hurt margin
💡 Every production cost is visible by category — you stop guessing about overheads and start managing them. 📌 In short: Accountune records all production expenses by custom category — labour, electricity, packaging and overhead — so you know the full cost of making your product. 📌 Production Expenses
🧮

Per-Unit Cost Calculation — Know Exactly What It Costs to Make One Unit

The most powerful number in manufacturing is cost per unit. Everything else — pricing decisions, margin analysis, contract negotiations — depends on knowing this accurately. Accountune calculates your cost per unit by recording total raw material cost for a batch, total production expenses, and units produced. From these three numbers, it calculates automatically — for every batch, every product, every month.

  • Cost per unit = total raw materials + production expenses ÷ units produced
  • Calculate per batch and compare across months
  • Adjust selling price immediately when raw material costs change
  • Spot instantly when rising costs are narrowing your margin
💡 You can price your products confidently, negotiate better with buyers, and immediately spot when rising costs are hurting your margin. 📌 In short: Accountune calculates cost per unit from raw materials plus production expenses divided by units produced — giving you the number that drives every pricing decision. 📌 Per-Unit Cost
🧾

Finished Goods Billing — GST Invoices for Buyer Dispatches in Under 10 Seconds

When finished goods are ready to dispatch, you need GST invoices with HSN codes, correct GST rates, buyer GSTIN, and transport details. Accountune creates GST-compliant invoices in under 10 seconds once your products and buyer details are set up. For manufacturers selling to multiple buyers across different states, CGST/SGST for local and IGST for interstate are applied automatically.

  • HSN code, correct GST rate, buyer GSTIN — all auto-filled
  • Invoice printed or sent to buyer on WhatsApp as PDF in one tap
  • CGST/SGST for local buyers, IGST for interstate — automatic
  • GSTR-1 data always ready from your billing records
💡 Every dispatch goes with a correct GST invoice. Buyers get what they need, your GSTR-1 data is always ready, and payments arrive faster. 📌 In short: Accountune creates GST-compliant finished goods invoices with correct HSN, tax rate and buyer GSTIN in under 10 seconds — for local and interstate sales. 📌 Finished Goods Billing
📊

Manufacturing Profit Per Month — Sales Minus Real Costs, Not Just Bank Balance

Once raw material purchases, production expenses, and billing are tracked in one place, Accountune shows your real manufacturing profit for any month. Not just what you sold — the actual profit: sales revenue minus raw material costs minus production expenses minus all overheads. Most small manufacturers have never seen this number clearly before.

  • Income from finished goods sales
  • Cost of raw materials purchased this month
  • Total production expenses by category
  • Net manufacturing profit — for any date range, compared across months
💡 You stop guessing your profit and start calculating it — month by month, product by product. 📌 In short: Accountune generates a manufacturing P&L showing sales revenue minus raw material cost minus production expenses — your real profit, calculated accurately. 📌 Manufacturing P&L
🏭

Supplier Outstanding Management — Know What You Owe Every Supplier

Most small manufacturers buy from multiple raw material suppliers — some on immediate payment, some on 15-day or 30-day credit. Accountune maintains a live supplier ledger for every vendor. Every purchase adds to the outstanding. Every payment reduces it. You can see at any time the complete outstanding across all suppliers, individual balances, and specific invoices due or overdue.

  • Live supplier ledger — updated with every purchase and payment
  • Bills due, overdue, and paid — all visible in one screen
  • Manage payment schedule without a separate register
  • No missed payments, no damage to supplier credit relationships
💡 You always know what you owe, to whom, and by when — so you manage supplier relationships without surprises. 📌 In short: Accountune maintains live supplier ledgers showing every purchase, payment and outstanding balance — updated automatically with every transaction. 📌 Supplier Outstanding
💰

Buyer Outstanding Management — Track Who Owes You and Since When

Many buyers — distributors, retailers, contractors — buy on 30, 45, or 60-day credit. Accountune tracks every buyer's outstanding automatically. Invoice-wise breakdown, days pending, and one-click WhatsApp payment reminders. One manufacturer using Accountune reduced his average receivable days from 52 to 34 — simply by sending WhatsApp reminders consistently from the platform.

  • Full receivable across all buyers — always live and accurate
  • Invoice-wise breakdown with exact days pending
  • One-click WhatsApp payment reminder to any buyer
  • Reduces average collection days significantly
💡 You know exactly who owes you money, for how long, and can send payment reminders in seconds — keeping your cash flow healthy. 📌 In short: Accountune tracks buyer outstanding invoice-wise with days pending and enables one-click WhatsApp payment reminders — so collections happen faster. 📌 Buyer Outstanding
📑

Manufacturing GST Compliance — HSN Codes, GSTR-1 and ITC Without Manual Work

GST compliance for manufacturers has multiple layers. Sales invoices need correct HSN codes. Purchases need ITC captured. Interstate dispatches need IGST. Monthly GSTR-1 needs all outward supplies. Accountune handles all of this automatically — HSN codes assigned once, GST rates calculated correctly, ITC captured on every supplier bill, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B ready at month end.

  • HSN codes set per product once — applied to every invoice automatically
  • ITC from raw material purchases captured on every supplier bill entry
  • CGST/SGST for local, IGST for interstate — applied correctly, automatically
  • GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data ready from billing records — no manual compilation
💡 GST compliance is automatic — correct invoices, full ITC capture, and filing-ready reports every month without extra effort. 📌 In short: Accountune applies correct HSN codes and GST rates on every invoice, captures ITC on every purchase, and generates GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B data automatically. 📌 GST Compliance

Seven Manufacturing Business Problems Every Small Factory Owner Recognizes

These manufacturing accounting problems are silently eating your profit and
creating compliance gaps in your business every single month

Ramesh runs a furniture manufacturing unit in Jodhpur. 15 workers, 3 product lines, sells to dealers across Rajasthan and Gujarat. Good orders, decent turnover. But every month the same seven problems were silently costing him money, creating GST risks, and making it impossible to know his actual profit. Here is exactly what changed when he switched to Accountune.

❌ The Problem
✅ How Accountune Solves It
📊

You think you made a profit this month — but you cannot prove it with actual numbers

Orders came in. Production happened. Invoices went out. Cash is in the bank. But how much did it actually cost to make those 40 units? Labour, electricity, raw materials, packaging, transport — you have rough numbers in your head. Your actual net profit? You genuinely do not know. Most small manufacturers are running their business on feel — not on numbers. And decisions made on feel silently cost lakhs every year. When a dealer asks for a discount, you say yes because you think you can afford it. Sometimes you cannot. You just do not know it yet.

📊

Manufacturing P&L generated automatically — real profit calculated, not guessed

Accountune tracks every raw material purchase, every production expense, and every sale in one place. The manufacturing P&L report shows total sales revenue, total raw material cost, total production overhead by category, and net manufacturing profit — for any month, any date range, compared across periods. When a dealer asks for a 5% discount next time, you open the report, check your margin on that product, and give an answer based on actual numbers — not instinct.

✓ Real manufacturing profit calculated — not guessed, every month
🧮

You do not know your cost per unit — so every price you quote is a guess

A dealer calls asking for your best price on 200 units. You think about what timber costs roughly, add what you think labour costs approximately, and quote a number that feels right. Sometimes the order is profitable. Sometimes it is not. You usually find out three months later when cash feels tight. When raw material prices rise 12% and you do not recalculate your cost per unit, you keep selling at the old price while your margin disappears — silently, invoice by invoice, for months. This is how small manufacturers lose money without realising it.

🧮

Per-unit cost calculated automatically — updated every batch, every month

Accountune calculates your cost per unit from three inputs: total raw material cost for the batch, total production expenses for the batch, and number of units produced. The system does the division. You get the exact cost per unit — for every product, every batch, every month. When timber prices rise, your cost per unit updates immediately. You know within hours whether your current selling price still gives you the margin you need — or whether it is time to renegotiate with buyers.

✓ Cost per unit calculated per batch — updated automatically every production run
🏭

Production overheads are invisible — labour, electricity, packaging are never properly tracked

Raw material costs get tracked because they come with supplier invoices. But daily labour paid in cash? Electricity bills on production days? Packaging material bought from the market? Loading charges paid to the handcart guy? These costs are real — and they are paid every week — but they live in a cash register, a paper notebook, or nowhere. A garment manufacturer in Surat found her weekly labour cost was 23% higher than she thought — because she had never added up the daily cash payments in one place. She had been underpricing her products for two years.

🏭

Every production overhead tracked by category — actual numbers, not estimates

Accountune lets you create custom expense categories matching your factory — daily labour, electricity, packaging, transport, tool maintenance, fuel, or anything specific to your production process. Record each expense as it happens. At month end, you see your total production overhead broken down by category — not a rough estimate, but the actual rupee amount for each cost type. For the first time, you know what it truly costs to run your factory every month.

✓ Production overheads tracked by custom category — actual cost every month
💸

Buyers owe you money for 45, 60, 90 days — and nobody is following up consistently

A distributor in Ahmedabad owes you ₹84,000 from an invoice raised 52 days ago. A retailer in Jaipur has two invoices outstanding totalling ₹38,000. You know roughly who owes you something — but the exact amounts, the exact invoice numbers, the exact number of days pending? You cannot tell without looking through your register. And because you cannot see it clearly, you do not follow up consistently. Outstanding keeps growing. Cash flow keeps tightening. A few of those receivables — the ones past 90 days — are quietly becoming unrecoverable.

💸

Buyer outstanding tracked invoice-wise with days pending — one-tap WhatsApp reminders

Accountune shows every buyer's outstanding balance, invoice-wise breakdown, and exact number of days each invoice has been pending. You see at a glance who owes the most, whose payment is most overdue, and which buyers have been consistently late. Send a WhatsApp payment reminder to any buyer in one tap — directly from the outstanding report. One manufacturer using Accountune reduced his average receivable days from 52 to 34 in the first two months — simply by using consistent reminders.

✓ Buyer outstanding with aging — one-tap WhatsApp reminders from inside the app
📦

Raw material purchases scattered across registers, WhatsApp, and paper bills — ITC getting missed

You buy timber from one supplier, hardware fittings from another, varnish from a third. Some send paper invoices. Some send WhatsApp messages. Some just collect cash. At month end, your CA asks for all purchase bills for ITC reconciliation. You collect what you can find, miss three or four, and your CA files with incomplete ITC data. Every missed purchase bill with GST means ITC you paid but never claimed. For a manufacturer buying ₹2 lakh in raw materials per month at 18% GST, missing 15% of bills means ₹5,400 in ITC lost every single month — ₹64,800 a year.

📦

Every raw material purchase recorded in one place — ITC captured on every GST bill

Accountune records every raw material purchase from every supplier — supplier name, material, quantity, rate, GST amount — in one entry that takes 90 seconds. If the supplier is GST-registered, the ITC is captured immediately and reflected in your GSTR-3B data. At month end, your CA gets a complete purchase record with full ITC data — not a collection of whatever paper bills you could find. No missed ITC. No scramble before the 11th.

✓ Every purchase recorded — ITC captured on every GST supplier bill automatically
🧾

Finished goods invoices take 15 minutes each — with manual HSN codes, wrong tax types, and errors buyers catch

You have finished goods ready to dispatch to a dealer in another state. Creating the invoice means: looking up the HSN code in a booklet, calculating IGST manually because it is an interstate sale, typing buyer GSTIN, numbering the invoice, printing and signing it. For a manufacturing unit dispatching 15 to 20 consignments per week, this is 3 to 4 hours of billing work per week. And when you make an error — wrong tax type, wrong HSN, wrong GSTIN — the buyer's ITC fails. They call you. You issue a corrected invoice. The CA has to fix the GSTR-1 filing. One billing error creates two hours of correction work.

🧾

GST-compliant finished goods invoice in under 10 seconds — HSN, tax type, GSTIN all automatic

In Accountune, each product carries its HSN code from your product master — set once, auto-fills forever. When you select a buyer, the software checks their registered state and applies CGST+SGST for local or IGST for interstate automatically. Buyer GSTIN is saved against their profile. Invoice number generates automatically. The complete GST-compliant invoice is ready in under 10 seconds — and can be sent to the buyer on WhatsApp as a PDF in one tap. A manufacturing unit in Jodhpur now dispatches 20 consignments per day with correct invoices in under 3 minutes total.

✓ Finished goods invoice in 10 seconds — HSN, IGST/CGST, GSTIN all auto-filled
🔍

Your CA cannot access your books without visiting — GST filing is a monthly scramble

Three days before the GST filing deadline, your CA calls. You spend two evenings finding purchase bills, exporting sales data from your billing software, calculating tax summaries in Excel, and sending WhatsApp messages with multiple files. Your CA takes what you send, makes corrections, files something approximate, and hopes the reconciliation holds. This scramble happens every single month — and it costs you 4 to 5 hours of your time, costs your CA extra work, and still results in GSTR filings that are not as accurate as they should be. One month you forget a ₹40,000 purchase bill and lose ₹7,200 in ITC permanently.

🔍

CA logs in remotely — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, and ITC data ready every month, no scramble

Accountune gives your CA a separate login with access to financial reports, GSTR-1 data, GSTR-3B summary, and full purchase records — from their own office. Every invoice you raise, every purchase you record, feeds directly into the GST reports automatically. At month end, your CA logs in, reviews the data, downloads the reports, and files. No calls asking for bills. No WhatsApp file sharing. No Excel reformatting. No 5-hour Sunday session. Your monthly GST compliance goes from a scramble to a routine — for you and your CA both.

✓ CA remote login — GSTR data ready every month, no file sharing needed

The most expensive problem in small manufacturing is not a bad order or a difficult customer. It is not knowing your numbers accurately enough to make good decisions. A manufacturer who does not know their cost per unit cannot price confidently. A manufacturer who does not track production overheads cannot identify where money is leaking. A manufacturer who does not see buyer outstanding clearly cannot collect consistently. These are not accounting problems — they are business management problems that accounting software solves. When your cost per unit is accurate, your pricing is confident. When your overheads are tracked, your margin is protected. When your outstanding is visible, your cash flow is manageable. The numbers were always there in your business. Accountune makes them visible.

All Questions 27 questions
01What is manufacturing billing software and how is it different from regular billing software?
Manufacturing billing software tracks production costs — raw materials, labour, overhead — in addition to creating GST invoices. Regular billing software only creates invoices for goods you buy and resell. Regular software is built for traders. Manufacturing software understands that you buy raw materials, spend on production, and then sell finished goods — tracking both the cost side and the revenue side together so you can calculate your real manufacturing profit.
02Does Accountune work for small scale manufacturing units in India?
Yes — Accountune is specifically designed for small scale manufacturing units in India. Whether you have 2 workers or 50, one product or twenty, local buyers or interstate distributors — Accountune works for your scale. It is not an ERP for large factories. It is a simple, affordable billing and cost tracking software for owner-operated manufacturing units who want clarity without complexity. Starting at ₹799/year with a 4-day free trial.
03What types of manufacturers use Accountune?
Furniture, garments, food products, metal components, auto parts, candles, agarbatti, leather goods, plastic items, paper products, pharma, chemicals, and more. Any small manufacturing unit in India that buys raw materials, spends on production, and sells finished goods can use Accountune. The features work across industries because they focus on the universal manufacturing challenge — tracking cost of production and billing dispatches correctly.
04Do I need accounting knowledge to use Accountune for my manufacturing unit?
No — if you can use WhatsApp, you can use Accountune. The software uses plain language throughout. Record a purchase, add an expense, create an invoice — these are simple actions any factory owner can do without accounting knowledge. No debit-credit knowledge required. No IT support needed. Most users set up their account and create their first invoice within 15 minutes of signing up.
05How long does it take to set up Accountune for a manufacturing unit?
About 30 minutes for a complete setup. Add your business GSTIN, your products with HSN codes and GST rates, your suppliers and buyers with their GSTINs, and your production expense categories — daily labour, electricity, packaging. That is the complete setup. From that point, every invoice auto-fills HSN codes and tax rates, every purchase captures ITC, and every expense updates your cost per unit automatically.
06Can I track what it costs me to make each product?
Yes — Accountune calculates per-unit cost from your raw material purchases and production expenses automatically. Record total raw material cost for a production batch, add your production expenses for that batch, and enter the number of units produced. Accountune divides total cost by units produced to give you the exact cost per unit. Do this for every batch, every product, and compare across months to track whether production is becoming more or less efficient.
07How do I track production expenses like labour and electricity in Accountune?
Create custom expense categories matching your factory — daily labour, electricity, fuel, packaging material, transport, tool maintenance — and record expenses against those categories as they happen. Recording takes about 15 seconds per entry. At month end, total production overhead is automatically summarised by category — the actual rupee amount for each cost type, not an estimate. This is the data that feeds your per-unit cost calculation and manufacturing P&L.
08Can I track different products separately in Accountune?
Yes — you can set up different products with their own raw materials and track costs separately per product. If you manufacture multiple items — chairs and tables, or shirts and kurtis, or multiple food product lines — you can track each one separately and get a cost per unit and profit margin for each product line. This is particularly useful when some products are significantly more profitable than others and you want data to guide your production emphasis.
09What does the manufacturing P&L report show?
The manufacturing P&L shows total finished goods sales, total raw material cost, total production expenses by category, and net manufacturing profit — for any date range you select. It is generated automatically from your daily billing, purchase, and expense records without any manual preparation. View it for any month, compare the last three months side by side, and identify which product line is most profitable — all without a spreadsheet or accountant.
10Can I record scrap and wastage in Accountune?
Yes — Accountune lets you record scrap as a production expense or as a stock entry if the scrap has resale value. If your production always results in some wastage — fabric offcuts, metal shavings, reject pieces — recording it ensures your cost per unit is accurate. Unrecorded wastage understates your production cost and makes your margin look better than it actually is. If the scrap is saleable — metal offcuts, fabric remnants — it can be billed separately as a separate product.
11How does knowing my cost per unit help my manufacturing business?
Knowing your cost per unit lets you price confidently, quote accurately, and negotiate from a position of knowledge. When a buyer asks for a 5% discount, you check your cost per unit and know immediately whether your margin can absorb it. When raw material prices rise 12%, you know within hours exactly how much your cost per unit has increased and by how much your selling price needs to adjust. Without this number, every pricing decision is a guess — and guesses can be quietly losing you money for months before you notice.
12Does Accountune handle GST correctly for manufacturer invoices?
Yes — HSN codes, correct tax rates, CGST and SGST for local sales, IGST for interstate dispatches — all applied automatically on every invoice. You assign the HSN code and GST rate to each product once during setup. From that point, every invoice for that product uses the correct code and rate automatically. For local buyers, CGST and SGST are applied in equal halves. For interstate buyers, full IGST is applied. No manual tax calculation — zero wrong tax type errors.
13Can I capture Input Tax Credit from raw material purchases?
Yes — every purchase from a GST-registered supplier automatically captures ITC in Accountune. Record the supplier bill with GST amount and supplier GSTIN — the ITC is captured immediately and flows into your GSTR-3B calculation so your net tax payable is correctly reduced by all eligible ITC. Missing even 15% of purchase bills means losing that ITC permanently. A manufacturer spending ₹2,00,000/month on raw materials at 18% GST loses ₹5,400 in ITC per month if bills go unrecorded — ₹64,800 per year.
14Does Accountune generate GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B reports for manufacturers?
Yes — every sale invoice contributes to GSTR-1 data automatically. Every GST purchase bill captures ITC. At month end, you or your CA download the filing-ready report — GSTR-1 with all outward supplies, GSTR-3B with tax liability and ITC summary. Your CA can log in from their office directly and download what they need. No manual compilation, no WhatsApp file sharing, no Sunday before the 11th preparing data.
15Does Accountune support e-way bills for manufacturer dispatches?
Yes — E-Way Bill generation is available in Growth and Pro plans. Generate directly from Accountune with all invoice data pre-filled — party details, product, HSN, value, transport details. No switching to the government portal. No retyping the same data twice. E-Way Bill number attaches to the invoice record automatically. Required for goods dispatches above ₹50,000 in value — mandatory compliance for manufacturing dispatches to interstate distributors.
16Is e-invoicing with IRN available for manufacturers above ₹5 crore turnover?
Yes — Accountune's Growth and Pro plans include e-invoicing built into the billing workflow. Raise an invoice as you normally would — Accountune connects to the Invoice Registration Portal in the background, generates the IRN, and prints it on the invoice automatically. No separate IRP login needed. No batch uploads at end of day. For manufacturers above ₹5 crore annual turnover, every invoice must carry a valid IRN to be GST-compliant — an invoice without IRN is legally invalid and the buyer cannot claim ITC.
17Can I track what I owe to different raw material suppliers?
Yes — Accountune maintains a live ledger for every supplier showing outstanding balance, specific invoices due or overdue, credit terms, and full payment history. Every purchase adds to the outstanding. Every payment reduces it. See the complete outstanding across all suppliers and individual balances in real time — no notebook, no memory-based tracking. For manufacturers buying from 5 to 15 suppliers on credit, this replaces a messy manual system with a clear organised view that takes 30 seconds to check.
18Can I track payments due from my buyers and distributors?
Yes — Accountune tracks buyer outstanding invoice-wise with exact days pending. When you create an invoice, the buyer's outstanding increases. When payment is received, it reduces. See which buyers have overdue invoices, how many days they are overdue, and total amount due from each buyer — all in real time. One manufacturer using Accountune reduced average receivable days from 52 to 34 — purely from consistent WhatsApp reminders sent through the platform.
19Can I send payment reminders to buyers directly from Accountune?
Yes — one-tap WhatsApp reminders can be sent to any buyer directly from their outstanding page in Accountune. The reminder includes the buyer's name, outstanding amount, invoice numbers, and due dates — pre-formatted and ready to send. Sending reminders consistently is one of the most effective ways to reduce average collection time. Accountune makes it fast enough to do for every overdue invoice every week without it feeling like a task.
20Can I manage buyers from multiple states in one Accountune account?
Yes — Accountune manages unlimited buyers from any state in one account. Each buyer's GSTIN and registered state are saved once. When you raise an invoice for that buyer, Accountune automatically applies CGST+SGST for buyers in your state and IGST for buyers in other states — no manual selection needed. Outstanding, payment history, and ledgers are maintained separately for each buyer regardless of location.
21Does Accountune work on Android phone for manufacturers?
Yes — the full manufacturing billing suite is available on the Android app. Create a supplier purchase bill while at the raw material market. Record a production expense from the factory floor. Create a dispatch invoice while loading the truck. All from your phone, with data synced to the web version in real time. iOS app is also available for iPhone users. All features work identically on mobile and desktop.
22Is Accountune cloud-based or do I need to install it?
Accountune is fully cloud-based — no installation needed, works on any device with a browser. Just go to accountune.com and sign up. Your data is stored securely on AWS India cloud servers with 256-bit AES encryption and backed up automatically every hour. No local installation, no data stored on just one computer, no risk of losing everything if a device is damaged. Unlike Tally and Busy — which require Windows desktop installation — Accountune works anywhere.
23Can multiple people in my factory use Accountune?
Yes — Growth and Pro plans support multiple users with role-based access. Give your billing person access to create invoices without seeing financial reports. Give your stock manager access to inventory without seeing purchase costs. Give your CA access to reports without being able to modify transactions. Up to 3 users on Growth, up to 5 users on Pro — each with individual login and specific permissions set by you as the admin.
24Can my CA access my manufacturing accounts remotely?
Yes — CA remote access is included on all Accountune plans at no extra cost. Your CA gets a separate login to view reports, download GSTR data, review purchase records, and post accounting entries — from their office, without visiting your factory. When your CA changes, revoke access with one click — immediately, without changing your password or affecting anyone else. This feature alone eliminates the monthly filing scramble for most manufacturers.
25How much does manufacturing billing software cost in India?
Accountune starts at ₹799 per year — all manufacturing billing features included. No separate charge for manufacturing features. Every plan includes raw material purchase tracking, production expense recording, per-unit cost calculation, GST invoicing, supplier and buyer outstanding, and manufacturing P&L. Growth plan at ₹1,849/year supports 2 users and E-Way Bills. Pro plan at ₹4,490/year supports 5 users and 1,000 E-Way Bills. Compare: Tally Prime costs ₹18,000+/year and requires Windows installation.
26Is there a free trial for manufacturing billing features in Accountune?
Yes — full access to all features for 4 days with no credit card required. Set up your raw materials, production expense categories, a few suppliers and buyers. Record a week of real transactions. See what your cost per unit looks like and how your manufacturing P&L reads. Most manufacturers have their account fully set up within one working day and see their first real cost-per-unit number within two days of signing up.
27Which Accountune plan is right for my manufacturing unit?
If you are a solo manufacturer or workshop with one person handling billing — Lite at ₹799/year. If you dispatch goods interstate, need E-Way Bills, or have 2 to 3 people in your business — Growth at ₹1,849/year. If your annual turnover is above ₹5 crore, you need E-Invoicing IRN on every invoice, and you have a team of 4 to 5 people who need system access — Pro at ₹4,490/year. All plans include a 4-day free trial with full access.
