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 shop that sells cloth by the metre from the roll: the metre is the base unit and the roll a unit with a factor, 3.25 metres is sold by typing the quantity with a fraction, a colour or pattern is a variant of the same cloth with its own barcode and stock, and the trader buys wholesale at his own price and on credit.

## The metre and the roll

You define the metre as the base and the roll with its factor, a 50 metre roll for example. Each sale is deducted from stock in metres, so what is left of the roll stays visible. No scale is connected and the length is typed.

## Colour and pattern as variants

The cloth is a parent item and its colours are its variants, each with its own barcode, price and stock in every branch. No tool generates the variants, so each colour is entered once.

## Trade price and credit

A named price list assigned to the trader applies to his invoices, and you sell on his account with a due date and a credit limit and collect his payments from his page.

## What it does not do

It does not track each roll on its own, the dye lot, or the leftovers after cutting: stock is a total of metres per item. It does not work out how much cloth a garment or a curtain needs.

## Common questions

### How do I sell 3.25 metres?

Make the metre the base unit of the item and type 3.25 at the till at the price per metre.

### How do I receive a 50 metre roll?

Define the roll as a unit with a factor of 50 and stock comes in as metres.

### Can I sell to a trader at wholesale prices?

Yes. Create a price list with his prices and assign it to his account.
