Boundless helps you effectuate all the above objectives accurately. 

The four basic components of inventory management, which Boundless has identified basis its experience, are as follows:

• Replenishment Stock- Determined by the ordering frequency and the quantity ordered, this is a stock resulting from policy ordering.

• Safety Stock - This kind of stock is stored for being perseverent with the demand / supply uncertainty.

• Anticipation Stock - Stock procured in advance of requirement.

• Movement Stock - This kind of stock can be dis jointly identified and is the kind which is in infiltration between suppliers and the customers. 

Boundless sees two main factors when it comes to inventory management:

• Tracking of quantity of stock in hand - This kind of monitoring ensures that there are sufficient products to meet the customer's requirements. The quantity is measured by stocktaking method on a regular basis. 

• Tracking of product's quality - This kind of monitoring guarantees, that the available products in stock are of high quality. The quality is measured by regular visual inspection of the stock and by ensuring that stores are kept in good order. 

If you are one of those ensembles that maintains inventory then Boundless helps you keep up with the above two major factors in inventory management. For more on inventory, call us at +91-11-66797769 or e-mail at info@boundlessindia.com or visit us at http://www.boundlessindia.com.

Ledgers: An Effective Way To Maintain All Business Transactions

Ledgers are books of accounts used for reporting economic transactions measured in monetary terms. Each financial transaction is noted inside a ledger. It depends on the size and structure of the organisation that the number of journal entries vary from hundreds to millions.

General ledger accounts are basically nothing but chart of accounts.

It helps in consolidating journal entries at a single place which are of same nature. Transfer of several journal entries in a single ledger account is termed as posting. For example, 100 entries of journal passed can be posted into a single sales account created. Post that, several sales transactions can be noted in that account date-wise.

Boundless helps you in doing this and maintaining ledgers all the while for your business.

Some important points that relate to ledger are:

1.  Each side of a journal entry is made on the same side of the ledger i.e. debit entry is made on the debit side while credit entry is made on the credit side.

2. Expenses and assets represent debit balance while income and liabilities represent credit balance including capital balance.

3. Debit balance in the statement represents amounts receivable while credit balance in the statement represents amounts payable. While amount receivables are noted in assets, amount payables are represented in liabilities.

4. While credit side represents income earned, debit side represents an organisation's expenses.

5. A cash book's debit balance means cash in hand.

6. Bank book's debit side is balance at bank and bank book's credit balance is bank overdraft.

7. However, real and personal account balances are represented in balance sheet and are carried onto next financial years.
