SKU catalogue, customer-specific orders, workshop debts and returns

Accounting for an auto parts store

QUINCEFIN holds a catalogue of tens of thousands of part numbers, runs the customer order and the matching supplier order for a specific request, and keeps workshop debts and returns under control — all in one loop.

Key business needs

An auto parts store works with a catalogue of tens of thousands of part numbers, a large share of which is not in stock: the item is ordered for a specific customer. Alongside that sit regular repair workshops buying on deferred payment, and a steady flow of "it did not fit" returns. Without one system the catalogue, the orders and the debts live in different files. QUINCEFIN brings them into a single process, from the enquiry to handover and payment.

What usually hurts

  • A catalogue of tens of thousands of items is kept in Excel and drifts away from real stock.
  • A customer-specific order gets lost between the phone call, the purchase and the handover.
  • Workshop customers buy on deferred payment, and the debt is noticed only when it is already large.
  • "It did not fit" returns are agreed verbally and never return the goods to stock correctly.
  • It is not visible which part groups and which customers actually generate profit.

What changes with QUINCEFIN

  • Excel product import loads cards, folders, part numbers, units, barcodes and prices with a validation step before it is applied.
  • Customer orders, reservations and supplier orders carry the item from the enquiry to handover.
  • Settlements and credit limit control at shipment keep workshop debts in check.
  • Customer returns and supplier returns are processed as documents and move stock correctly.
  • The P&L report shows profit by part group, customer and document.

What your business gets

A large catalogue and part numbers

Excel import loads thousands of product cards together with folders, part numbers, units of measure, barcodes and prices, showing a preview and any errors before the changes are applied. Part numbers and barcodes can be generated inside the system, and the warehouse can be organised by bins.

Orders placed for a customer

The customer order records an item that is not in stock, the supplier order closes the shortage, and reservation locks the goods to the customer once they arrive. At any moment you can see what has already come in and what is still on the way.

Workshop debts under control

Settlements are calculated automatically from sales and payment documents, and reports show the balance per counterparty. Credit limit control at shipment stops a regular workshop customer from exceeding the agreed debt.

Returns and real profit

Customer returns and supplier returns are processed as separate documents: the goods go back to stock correctly and settlements are recalculated. The P&L report shows profit by part group and customer, including cost price.

Who inside the company needs it

QUINCEFIN joins the processes together, so the benefit reaches different roles - from the owner to the operations team.

Frequently asked questions

Will the system handle a catalogue of tens of thousands of items?

Yes. Products are loaded through Excel import: cards, folders, part numbers, units of measure, barcodes and prices. Before it is applied the system shows a preview and any errors, so one bad export cannot break the catalogue.

How do I order a part for a specific customer?

Through the customer order and the supplier order: the item is tied to the customer, flows into purchasing, and reservation locks it once it arrives. The status of each line is visible in the system rather than in a chat thread.

How do I control the debts of workshop customers?

Settlements are built automatically from sales and payment documents, and reports show the balance per counterparty. Credit limit control at shipment keeps deferred payment within the agreed boundaries.

How do I process a returned part?

With a customer return document: the goods go back to stock and settlements with the customer are recalculated. For defective or wrongly supplied items you use a supplier return.
