Accounting and GST software for Kochi
Kochi exports, and export accounting has its own failure modes: an invoice raised in dollars and received at a different rate, a weight that changes between the godown and the container because the pepper dried, and paperwork that has to agree with a shipping bill somebody else prepared.

What Kochi businesses use it for
Export invoices, both kinds
With payment of tax or under LUT without it — different documents with different refund consequences, treated as different things.
Foreign currency realisation
Invoiced at one rate, received at another, with the exchange difference posted to the ledger rather than distorting the customer’s balance.
Moisture-linked weight
Weight lost between godown and container recorded as a stock adjustment rather than an unexplained gap.
Grade and quality rates
Spices and rubber priced by grade, with the grade on the document so a claim has a reference.
Seafood batch and cold chain
Batch-wise stock at a cold store, with the store as its own warehouse.
Documentation that matches
Invoice, packing list and the figures that have to agree with the shipping bill.
Questions from Kochi businesses
How does tBiz handle an export received at a different exchange rate?
The invoice is raised at the rate on the day and the receipt recorded at the rate actually realised, with the difference posted as exchange gain or loss to the ledger. It does not sit in the customer’s balance pretending to be an unpaid amount, which is the usual failure.
What about weight lost to drying before shipment?
Recorded as a stock adjustment when it is noticed, so the shrinkage is a visible cost rather than an unexplained difference between what you bought and what you shipped.
Does tBiz support export with and without payment of tax?
Yes, as two distinct document types. They have different refund consequences and treating them as one is a common error that surfaces months later when the refund does not arrive.
Can I hold stock at a third-party cold store?
Yes, as a warehouse of your company. It is your stock wherever it is physically sitting, and it should be on your books accordingly.
