What Indian manufacturers get out of the box

  • Job / work-order costing

    Every work order tracks budgeted vs actual at material, labour, and overhead. Variance reports flag mid-job overruns before close.

  • BOM + routing + multi-level assemblies

    Multi-level BOMs (subassemblies under finished goods), routing with standard times, scrap allowances, substitute components.

  • WIP inventory accounting

    Raw → WIP → Finished Goods at standard or actual cost. Period-end WIP valuation auto-posts; variance moves to COGS.

    Capital-goods GST credit available over 5 years per ITC rules. HelloBooks tracks the schedule, reverses ITC on disposal, and reports per-period ITC claimed.

  • RoDTEP / Drawback + SEZ supply

    Export incentive tracking — RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products), Drawback, SEZ supplies under LUT. Per-shipping-bill reconciliation.
