The trial balance: how to read it and what a balanced result does not prove
A trial balance lists every account balance at a date and compares total debits with total credits. Learn how to read it and where it can mislead.
Income statement vs balance sheet: performance over a period, position on a date
The income statement shows income and expenses over a period; the balance sheet shows assets, liabilities and equity on one date. See both from one example.
Why a company’s profit is not its cash balance
Profit counts income and expenses when they occur; cash counts money moving in and out. The same example shows why the two differ.
Customer statement of account: how to follow invoices, payments and the balance
A statement lists a customer’s invoices and payments for a period with a running balance. Learn how to read it, send it and agree it.
How stock movements affect cost of goods sold
When goods are sold, their cost leaves inventory and becomes cost of goods sold. The cost formula you use changes both numbers.
Accounting software or ERP? The difference, and which one fits your business
Accounting software records your money. An ERP also runs the work that creates it: quotations, orders, stock, purchasing, production and branches. The difference in plain words, a table of who needs which, and the signs you have outgrown accounting-only software.
Building business software you can rely on: global standards, local needs, and what AI really changes
Reliable accounting and stock software rests on global practice and local fit. AI makes writing code faster, but a change to money or stock still needs specification, independent review, realistic tests, a reversible migration and a staged release. A checklist for judging any system.
From the notebook to production orders: how a factory finds out what a batch really costs
Recipes in a notebook, materials taken on a verbal request and wages added up on paper leave the cost of a batch as a guess. The chain of records that fixes it, what TexaCore’s manufacturing module covers today (available, being field-proven) and where it stops.
When accounting-only software stops being enough: books that follow the work
Accounting-only software records money after the event, so the shop, the store and the books drift apart. How a comprehensive system lets entries come from the work itself, what TexaCore’s accounting module does with sales, stock and purchasing, and what it does not do yet.
Warehouses and raw materials: keeping units, locations, serial numbers and rolls under control
Stock goes wrong when units, places and identities are not recorded once. How TexaCore handles warehouses with shelf locations, packaging units, transfers, counts, write-offs with approval, serial numbers and fabric rolls, and which lot features exist today and which are still to come.
Sales follow-up from the first lead to collection, when you work in more than one currency
Leads in chats, quotes retyped as invoices, payments that never reach the invoice and balances nobody can explain. How TexaCore connects the opportunity, the quotation, the order, the invoice and the collection in several currencies, and where its follow-up tools stop.
Who can see what, who owns which task: permissions, tasks and department follow-up
Shared logins, tasks lost in chat groups and no answer to “who is behind?”. How permissions, approvals, tasks with an owner and a department, and an activity trail work together in TexaCore, which parts exist today and what the task analytics do not show.
Online store and marketplaces: one source of truth for stock, prices and orders
When the shop, the warehouse and the online store each keep their own stock and prices, you sell what is gone and argue about price. How TexaCore keeps orders, returns, pricing and suppliers on the same stock and accounts as the ERP, what a storefront reads from it, and why links to external marketplaces are still planned.
