A Sri Lankan shop does not fail because the owner cannot add. It fails because the credit book, the stock count and the post-dated cheques were each “in someone’s head.” When a cheque date arrives, nobody is sure whether the customer already paid cash last Tuesday.
MyTracksy Retail records stock, a credit book, suppliers and a signed-in ledger. Reports sit on Pro. The workspace does not process card payments, print fiscal invoices as a government device, or move money.
Credit book without theatre
- Put the customer on the credit book when you give goods, not at closing when you are tired.
- Record the payment against the same customer when cash or a transfer arrives.
- If you take a post-dated cheque, store the date and amount as a note you typed — the app does not present the cheque at the bank.
- Walk stock against the same system you use for credit, so “we are out” and “they still owe” are not two stories.
PDC is a calendar problem
A post-dated cheque is a promise with a date. If the date lives only on the paper in a drawer, you will miss it. Keep the due date in the workspace calendar you already use for the shop, and keep the amount in the credit record. When the cheque clears or bounces, type what happened. MyTracksy will not call the bank.
