Margin per order, visible on the day rather than at month end.
Buying, selling, stock and receivables run on one ledger, so the price you bought at, the price you sold at and whether the customer has paid are all attached to the same record.
What usually breaks

Credit exposure discovered only when a customer stops paying
- Multi-warehouse stockLive levels, transfers and reorder points.
- Price listsPer customer, per region, per quantity break.
- Purchase managementRequisition, order, receipt and bill matched.
- Credit limitsEnforced at order entry, not at collection.
- Batch and expiryFIFO, FEFO and shelf-life handling.
- Landed costTrue cost per unit including freight and duty.
- Sales returnsCredit notes and stock back in one step.
- GST and taxRegion-aware tax on both sides of the trade.
