Trading & Distribution ERP in India

What is actually different about Trading & Distribution in India

Indian distribution runs on three clocks that have nothing to do with stock. E-way bills need net weight, gross weight and volume at dispatch, which is why those live on the item master here rather than being typed at the gate. Input tax credit has to be reconciled against GSTR-2B or it is quietly lost — a supplier who did not file costs you real money you never see leaving. And since the MSMED amendments, paying a registered micro or small supplier beyond 45 days has a tax consequence, so the clock starts from their Udyam registration date and Rebota drives it from that field rather than from a payment-terms guess.

Rebota for Trading & Distribution in India

Can a trading & distribution business in India use Rebota?▾

Yes, fully — this is the market Rebota is built for, with GST compliance and e-invoicing built in.

What currency and financial year does it use?▾

INR on a 1 April – 31 March year. Both are handled properly: the fiscal calendar is resolved per company rather than hardcoded, and each invoice, bill and purchase order carries its own exchange rate rather than being converted at a single company-wide rate.

What specifically does not work?▾

Demand planning and forecasting. Supplier collaboration portals. Route and van sales. These are stated here rather than discovered later; if one of them is central to how you operate, Rebota is the wrong choice today.
