FEATURE SHOWCASE
Six sales types, configured for the channels a metals business actually sells through.
Every sales order is created against an Operating Unit, with its own numbering sequence, so a multi-plant or multi-yard business can track sales by location without manual tagging. From there, the workflow splits by what's being sold and how it leaves the premises.
DOMESTIC SALES
For sales inside the country, in local currency.
Domestic Sales cover transactions where buyer and seller operate under the same local laws, regulations, and market conditions. No cross-border paperwork, shorter delivery distances, fewer logistical layers — but still everything needed for compliant invoicing, gate-out tracking, and clean returns.
Built for the way domestic metal sales actually work: spot deals, unpriced stock awaiting LME settlement, gate-checked dispatch, and the occasional credit-note reversal.
BEST FOR
Domestic metal & scrap sales
CURRENCY
INR (local currency)
PRICING
Priced or unpriced sales supported
COMPLIANCE
GST, e-invoice, e-way bill
Sales Order Creation
Generate and manage sales orders for domestic customers — captured against an Operating Unit with unit-level numbering.
Multi-Level Approval
Configurable approval workflows so large or critical sales orders are reviewed by senior personnel before release.
Reduced Shipping Complexity
Domestic sales involve shorter distances, fewer logistical challenges, and lower shipping costs — reflected in the workflow defaults.
Local Currency
Transactions in INR by default, eliminating concerns about exchange rates and international financial systems.
Unpriced Sales Process
Sell material without a predefined price when LME or market rates are still in flux — finalize once the rate is locked.
Delivery Order Processing
Authorize the dispatch of goods to the customer with a tracked delivery order, linked to the sales order.
Gate Entry Tracking
Monitor material as it leaves the warehouse or premises — proper documentation, security, and audit trail at the gate.
Delivery Return Processing
Manage returns of goods that were delivered but found defective, damaged, incorrect, or unsatisfactory.
Sales Return Credit Note
Issue a credit note acknowledging the return and the corresponding adjustment to the original sales transaction.
Preclose Sales Order
Close out sales orders nearly complete with only final actions remaining — keeps the open-SO register accurate.
EXPORT SALES
Engineered for the complexity of cross-border selling.
Export Sales cover transactions where goods are sold to customers in another country — a key channel for metals businesses expanding beyond domestic markets. These sales involve cross-border movement of products and require compliance with international regulations, customs procedures, and tariffs.
Currency conversion, batch traceability, gate-out documentation — everything an exporter reaches for in a separate spreadsheet is a structured field on the sales order.
BEST FOR
International metal & scrap exports
CURRENCY
Multi-currency (USD / EUR / etc.)
TRACEABILITY
Batch-level on raw materials
COMPLIANCE
Shipping bill, BL, export invoicing
Sales Order Creation
Generate and manage sales orders for foreign customers, with order-type tagging for export-specific document and tax routing.
Multi-Level Approval
Approval matrices ensure large or critical export sales get reviewed by senior personnel before release.
Unpriced Sales Process
Sell material without a predefined price when negotiations are ongoing or LME settlement is pending.
Currency & Exchange Rates
Export transactions captured in foreign currency with FX rate handling — exchange gain/loss flows to accounting automatically.
Inventory Management Integration
Stock levels update the moment material is transferred against the sale, keeping inventory accurate in real time.
Delivery Order Processing
Authorize the shipment of goods to the customer with a tracked delivery order linked to the export sale.
Batch Tracking
Track raw materials in batches so the right material — by grade, source, or lot — is dispatched against each export order.
Gate Entry Tracking
Monitor material movement out of the premises with proper documentation and security checks at the gate.
Delivery Return Processing
Handle returns from overseas customers — defects, damage, or incorrect material — with the right document trail.
Sales Return Credit Note
Issue a credit note acknowledging the return and adjusting the original export transaction.
Preclose Sales Order
Close export sales orders that are nearly complete so the open-SO register stays clean across markets.
HIGH SEAS SALES
Sale of goods still in transit, before they hit the destination port.
High Seas Sales (HSS) refers to selling goods while they're still in transit — typically aboard a vessel in international waters, before reaching the destination port. Used for re-exporting goods or facilitating trade without waiting for customs clearance in the importing country.
Linked directly to the corresponding High Seas purchase order, so the full chain — purchase, in-transit transfer, and customer invoice — stays connected in one system instead of three.
BEST FOR
In-transit re-exports & HSS trades
LINKED TO
Confirmed High Seas Purchase Orders
CUSTOMS
Bypassed in country of origin
PRICING
Priced or unpriced supported
Sales Order Creation

Unpriced Sales Process
Sell material without a predefined price when prices may fluctuate or negotiations are still ongoing.
Sale of Goods in Transit
Capture the sale while the goods are still aboard a vessel and have not yet reached the destination port.
Avoidance of Customs
HSS lets goods bypass customs clearance in the country of origin, and in some cases the destination country — handled correctly in the document flow.
Inventory Management Integration
Stock levels update accurately as material is sold in transit — no parallel inventory adjustments needed.
Delivery Order Processing
Authorize the shipment or transfer of goods to the buyer, with the linked HSS purchase order in view.
Customer Invoices
Generate invoices to request payment from the HSS customer — directly tied to the linked purchase and delivery records.
Delivery Return Processing
Handle defective, damaged, or unsatisfactory deliveries with the right return-and-adjust workflow.
Sales Return Credit Note
Issue credit notes for returned material with adjustments flowing back to the original HSS transaction.
Preclose Sales Order
Close HSS sales orders that are nearly complete, keeping the open-SO register reflective of the actual state.
DEEMED SALES
Transactions treated as sales for tax — even without a conventional transfer.
Deemed Sales is a term from taxation and business law referring to transactions that are treated as a sale for tax purposes, even where there's no actual transfer of goods or services in the conventional sense. The intent is to capture transactions where goods or services are used, consumed, or transferred in ways the tax authorities treat as equivalent to a sale.
Common use case: inter-company transfers within a corporate group. Recorded in the ERP for accounting and compliance, even when it isn't a typical sale.
BEST FOR
Inter-co transfers, tax-only sales
PURPOSE
Sales tax / VAT / GST compliance
PRICING
Priced or unpriced supported
OUTPUT
Audit-ready transaction record

Authorize the physical movement of goods, where applicable, with a tracked delivery order.

Preclose Sales Order
Close deemed-sale orders cleanly when only final actions remain.
DISPOSAL SALES
For surplus, obsolete, or unused inventory and assets.
Disposal Sales is used to sell assets or inventory that the business no longer needs or wants to keep — surplus stock, obsolete material, and unused equipment cleared off the balance sheet. Useful for both inventory reduction and asset recovery.
Whether it's vehicles auctioned for partial recovery of capex, or aged inventory liquidated to make room for newer stock, the disposal flow keeps it audit-trailed and accounted-for.
BEST FOR
Surplus stock, obsolete assets
USE CASES
Auctions, asset recovery, clearance

GENERAL SALES
Non-core commodities — chemicals, by-products, and consumables.
General Sales covers transactions where general goods — chemicals, by-products, and other non-core commodities — are sold from one company to another, often within the same organization. Lower volume than core metal sales, but still needs proper sales-order, dispatch, and credit-note handling.
Same approval discipline, gate-out tracking, and return management as core sales — without forcing every chemical drum through a heavyweight metals workflow.

Chemicals, by-products, consumables
