Petrol Pump Expense Management and Maintenance Records
Keep every pump expense properly recorded and accountable, and manage maintenance of your equipment from the same place.
Small expenses decide the real profit
Tea, cleaning material, a nozzle repair, generator diesel, an electrician's visit. Each amount is small and is paid from the cash of the day. Without an entry, it becomes a cash shortage that nobody can explain.
In Sanchay every expense is recorded with its category, payment mode and vendor, and can go through approval. Repairs and servicing are kept as maintenance records, so you know what was spent on which equipment.
Expenses are part of the money of the day. They appear in the daily closing summary next to sales, collections and purchases, so a shortage caused by an unrecorded payment is easier to find. Expense reports then show spending category-wise, payment-wise, by manager and on maintenance, so you can see where the money of the pump goes.
