Grade, finish and size, in pieces and in kilos.
Stainless steel stock is never just an item and a quantity. It is a grade such as 202, 304 or 316, a finish, a thickness, a width and a length, counted in pieces and weighed in kilos, at a rate that moves daily. Kreon has software for stainless steel makers, processors and stockists that holds stock this way.
The details generic software gets wrong.
Two units, always
A sheet is sold by the kilo but picked by the piece. Stock must carry both, or the godown count and the books will never match.
Slitting and cutting
One coil becomes many narrower coils or sheets. The software must split the weight correctly and keep the parent coil number.
Offcuts have value
Leftover pieces of 304 or 316 are money. They need their own stock with grade and size, so they are sold or reused.
Polishing done outside
Material goes out for polishing on job work and comes back in a different finish. Balances with each processor must stay visible.

Questions, answered.
Can we keep 202 and 304 from getting mixed in stock?
Yes. Grade is part of the stock identity along with finish, thickness and size. Each coil or bundle carries its grade on the label, and one grade cannot be issued against an order for another without an override.
Does it work for a stockist who does no manufacturing?
Yes. Trading stockists use purchase, coil and sheet stock, cutting to size, sales and outstanding. The manufacturing stages can be left out.
Can billing be on actual weight or theoretical weight?
Yes. You choose for each sale. Theoretical weight is calculated from size and thickness, actual weight is taken from the scale, and the invoice shows pieces along with the weight billed.
Which Kreon products fit stainless steel?
Steel Plant ERP, Engineering and Fabrication ERP, Distributor Management System (DMS). Each can be shaped to the way your business works, and they share the same records when used together.
