✅ CushionsERP Accounting and Inventory Overview

CushionsERP can handle simple accounting (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Inventory Valuation). Some features may require setup or extra modules for optimal results.

✅ 1. Profit & Loss Statement (P&L)

CushionsERP can generate a basic P&L report if you activate the experimental Accounting module:

Path: Home > Setup > Modules > Accounting

It pulls from:

  • Sales invoices
  • Purchase invoices
  • Other income/expense entries (e.g., manual journals)

You’ll see:

  • Revenue (from invoices)
  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
  • Expenses
  • Net profit/loss

📌 Tip: Make sure to link your products/services and expense categories to the correct accounts in the Chart of Accounts (CoA).

✅ 2. Balance Sheet

Also available via the Accounting module, showing:

  • Assets: Cash, inventory, receivables
  • Liabilities: Payables, loans, VAT dues
  • Equity: Retained earnings, capital

⚠️ Note: The default Balance Sheet is basic and may require:

  • Custom CoA
  • Optional reports module for audit-grade reports

📦 Consider the “Accountancy Expert” module from Dolistore for better compliance and detail (especially for EU-based businesses).

✅ 3. Inventory Valuation

CushionsERP manages inventory with real-time stock valuation:

Valuation Methods:

  • Average Weighted Price (AWP) (default)
  • Standard Cost (manual)
  • FIFO/LIFO (requires Dolistore modules)

You get:

  • Real-time stock value per product
  • Inventory movement reports
  • Exportable valuation snapshot at any date

📌 Tip: Enable the Stock Module and Products/Services Module. Define cost price per product to correctly calculate COGS.
