# For building materials: quantities by the ton and the metre, and a credit account per contractor.

> For a building materials dealer: sell by the ton, bag and metre in fractions, contractor credit with a limit, price lists, job quotes, yard transfers and purchase orders.

Dashing (dashingerp.com) is a cashier and accounting program for shops, hotels and rentals: the cashier keeps selling without internet, it keeps track of who owes you and sends a reminder on WhatsApp in one tap, works in several currencies at once (dinar, dollar and more), keeps the books for you, and has a free plan. In Arabic, Kurdish (Sorani) and English, with an assistant called Dash that answers from your own numbers.

Dashing is for a dealer who sells cement, steel, pipes and sand to contractors and homeowners: you define the base unit and the larger ones above it with a factor, sell fractional quantities, record what a contractor owes with a credit limit, keep each contractor's own prices, and prepare a quote for a job before supply.

## The ton, the bag and the metre, in fractions

You define the base unit, a bag or a metre for example, then the larger one with its factor, barcode and price. 2.5 tons is sold by typing the quantity with a fraction and stock is deducted in the base unit.

## Contractor credit and a limit

You sell on the contractor's account with a due date, set a credit limit per customer, collect payments from their page, and share their statement by link.

## Contractor prices and a job quote

A named price list assigned to the contractor applies its prices to their invoices, and a quote does not deduct stock and turns into an invoice when accepted.

## More than one yard, and purchase orders

Goods move between branches with a confirmed receipt, and a supplier purchase order is received in parts.

## What it does not do

It does not schedule trucks or delivery routes or calculate loads: the delivery note is a free tool you print. No scale is connected: the weight of a load is typed.

## Common questions

### How do I sell half a bag?

Type 0.5 if the bag is the base unit, or define a smaller unit with a factor.

### Can I stop a contractor going over their limit?

Yes. You set the customer's credit limit and the software follows their balance on credit sales.

### Can I give a contractor a quote before supply?

Yes. A quote has no effect on stock or the books until it becomes an invoice.
