Building materials
Billing software for building material dealers
A building material dealer sells cement by the bag, TMT steel by the ton or kilo and tiles by the square foot, mostly on credit to builders and contractors. MudraERP starts you with those units, 18% GST on cement, steel and tiles, and B2B invoices on the buyer’s GSTIN.
GST at 5% and 18% Units: bag, ton, kg, sqft Prices before GST
How a building materials business runs on MudraERP
Deliveries go to the site on a delivery challan and are billed when the load is accepted. Builders’ outstanding sits in Dues by age, with WhatsApp reminders carrying a pay link. Purchase bills from the cement company and the steel mill add stock and input GST.
Bags, tons and sq ft
Each material in the unit it is sold in, with decimal quantities.
Site deliveries
Delivery challans for each load, billed later (Business plan and up).
Builder dues
Outstanding by age with WhatsApp reminders and pay links.

Questions from building materials owners
Can I generate e-way bills for site deliveries?
Not yet. Make e-way bills on the government portal; MudraERP records the challan and the invoice.
Can I sell steel by weight and by piece?
Keep the unit you buy and sell in (kg or ton). Quantities can have decimals, so 1.235 ton bills exactly.
Can I track each builder’s outstanding?
Yes. Dues shows every party’s balance by age, and the party ledger lists every invoice and payment.
Which GST rates does MudraERP set up for a building materials business?
The Building materials setup offers 5% and 18%, with new items starting at 18% and prices before GST. Cement moved from 28% to 18% under GST 2.0; steel bars and ceramic tiles are 18%. These are starting points: confirm the rate for each item with your CA.
