Commerce
Distribution & wholesale
Buy, stock, invoice, and collect without a second spreadsheet for local currency.
The sector's week
Pain first — what operators actually feel before naming a module.
Monday’s purchase invoices in USD, Wednesday’s customer receipts in LBP, Friday’s stock count that has to match the books before anyone leaves.
- Purchase invoices in one currency and sales invoices in another must both stay honest in local-currency journals
- Stock on hand after a delivery must match inventory WAC and the ledger — not a separate stock file
- Customer and vendor balances from an older ERP must import into one bound workspace without rewriting Friday’s work
How it works
Three steps — the week's rhythm, not a feature dump.
- 1
Bind masters — customers, vendors, items, and chart — then import history when you are ready.
- 2
Post purchases and sales in document currency; journals and aging stay in local currency.
- 3
Close the week from one workspace: stock, receivables, payables, and payroll beside the ledger.
Questions
Six sector questions. Short answers up front — expand for the longer version in the HTML either way.
Can we migrate an existing trading company?Yes — customers, vendors, stock-related masters, and ledgers import into one bound workspace.
Company import binds one source company to one Omnizone workspace. Masters, ledgers, and documents keep source identity so a re-import does not invent a second set of books.
How does multi-currency stay honest?Document currency on the invoice; authoritative LCY on journals and aging.
Each invoice keeps its face currency. Payments and statements convert through dated rates and stored LCY — they do not rewrite historical lines when today’s rate changes.
Does inventory post COGS on sales?Yes — invoice lines can issue stock on weighted-average cost into the ledger.
Item lines on invoices issue quantity from stock, compute WAC, and post COGS. That is back-office inventory — not a handheld scanner workflow.
Where do collections live?Receivables, statements, and receipts share the same cash cycle as the ledger.
Open invoices, client statements, and applied receipts sit under Receivables & payables. Finance roles see company money; HR-only roles do not.
Can we keep our chart of accounts?Yes — imported charts keep exact account codes; templates stay opt-in for new workspaces.
A company import overrides any prior template chart with the source accounts. New non-import workspaces can still start from a country template.
Is this a van-sales or route app?Not yet — field sales and van settlement publish when that epic’s test gate closes.
Today’s distribution page covers wholesale buy/stock/invoice/collect. Mobile van stock and route settlement stay off this page until that release gate is Done.
FAQ
Direct answers operators ask before a demo.
Does inventory post COGS on sales?Invoice lines can issue stock on weighted-average cost and post COGS into the ledger.
Will a re-import duplicate customers?No. Imports are idempotent on source identity inside the bound workspace.
