Concepts#

A handful of ideas repeat throughout Neriyam. The app will feel far less surprising once you have read these once. You do not need to memorise them — just know they exist so you can come back when you hit them in the workflow.

What to read#

• Lifecycle and fulfillment status — every sales order and purchase order has two independent statuses. One tracks approval, the other tracks how much has shipped or arrived.
• Approval workflow — Draft → Pending Approval → Approved. Who submits, who approves, what happens on each step.
• Document numbering — how codes like PO/2026-27/00042 get generated, and what a "draft ref" is.
• Tax determination — how Neriyam picks the right tax components and rates on a transaction, with country-aware seed data for India, UK, US, Canada, Australia, Germany, and others.
• Stock ownership — an optional capability for organizations that handle customer-supplied material; tracks the difference between your own stock and material your customer sent you to work on.
• Stock valuation — how Neriyam assigns a value to every unit of stock using a moving average cost.

Why this matters#

Every feature page in Sales, Purchase, Inventory, and Manufacturing refers back to these. When a Sales Order talks about "Delivery Status", it is using the concepts from the lifecycle/fulfillment page. When a Goods Receipt asks who owns the stock, it is applying the ownership rules.

Skim now; return when a workflow confuses you.
