✍️

May 2026 · eKhata pk Business Guide
Overview & Context
Contractors and builders frequently purchase hardware and sanitary supplies on credit for multiple active construction projects simultaneously. Mixing up project sites creates payment confusion. eKhata segregates accounts by site name.
⚡ KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR SHOPKEEPERS:
- ✓Create site-segregated accounts under the same contractor's name
- ✓Handle unit conversions: Feet, Kilograms, Cement Bags, Bundles, and Liters
- ✓Track paint tinting codes and specialized hardware returns
- ✓Send running bill PDF summaries to builders with delivery truck numbers
1. Site-Wise Segregation
Tag every purchase bill to a specific location (e.g., 'House 42 Phase 6' vs 'Plaza Main Market') so builders clear bills project by project without disputes.
