Metal purchases and gold buyingfrom the first gram.

Record finished jewelry, raw gold, old gold buy-back, and wholesale lots on one purchase bill. Each line keeps karat, gross weight, and pure weight. Barcodeable pieces get a tag that prints to a Zebra printer when you save.

Retail pieces and wholesale lots.

The same Metal Purchases module covers a single bangle at the counter and a consignment of gold bought by weight.

Retail purchase bill

Use it for individual pieces from a manufacturer, a supplier, or a customer bringing in old gold. Each line keeps the item, description, purity, quantity, gross weight, pure weight, making, subtotal, VAT, and total. Barcodeable pieces then open into a row of their own, so the ring or necklace is documented before it reaches the showcase.

Wholesale purchase bill

Use it for bulk metal from a trade supplier or refinery. Each lot keeps item, purity, quantity, gross weight, and pure weight. Price the lot at a fixed amount or from the rate per ounce on the screen. Record a hedge reference when the purchase is hedged, and mark the bill tax-free when the metal is zero-rated bullion.

Old gold and scrap, bought at the counter.

A customer buy-back uses the same purchase bill as any other metal coming in. The customer is the party, and the rate on the screen is the basis of the price.

  1. Weigh and record it

    Weigh the piece, enter the karat, and record the gross weight. Pure weight is calculated from the gross weight and purity, so the metal value is clear before you agree a price.

  2. Price it at today’s rate

    The current gold or silver rate per ounce stays at the top of the purchase screen. The buy-back price applies that rate to the pure weight, so both sides can see the basis of the offer.

  3. Tag it or take it as metal

    If the piece will be resold, give it a barcode and an inventory location. If it will be melted, it enters metal stock as pure weight instead of a tagged item.

A tag for every piece you can resell.

When the bill includes barcodeable items, each piece is entered on its own row before the label is printed.

Barcode
Scan an existing tag, or let EasyJewelry generate a new one.
Item code
The item definition from your catalog.
Gross weight
The weight from the scale, in grams.
Tag weight
The weight printed on an original tag, when the piece already has one.
Remarks
Condition, origin, or anything else worth keeping with the piece.
Location
The showcase, safe, or warehouse spot this piece is assigned to.

Print the label, then trace the piece.

Saving the bill generates a barcode label for each piece and sends it to the connected Zebra printer. Attach the label before the piece goes to the display or the stockroom.

The barcode links to the item code and the purchase record. A later scan shows who you bought it from, what you paid, when it arrived, where it was placed, and the transactions after that.

That origin record matters for high-value pieces, certified stones, and hallmarked items, where you need to show where the piece entered the business.

A purchase bill is a metal entry.

Fifty grams of 22 karat gold is not only a supplier invoice. The pure-metal balance rises by about 45.8 grams, the amount owed or the bank balance changes, and a tax-free bullion purchase records no VAT. Those updates happen from the bill.

There is no second metal entry, inventory adjustment, or vendor payment to post by hand. The piece tag then keeps the origin attached to the item, so a scan can still show what was paid and where it came from.

Jewelry retailers

Receive pieces from a manufacturer or supplier, record each one, and print tags as the goods arrive. Old gold from the counter uses the same bill.

Gold and silver wholesalers

Buy bulk metal at a fixed amount or the live rate, mark raw bullion tax-free, and update the pure-weight balance from the bill.

Old gold buyers

Keep weight, purity, price, and the person you bought from on every buy-back, so the purchase can be traced later.

Multi-branch stores

Record the purchase at the branch that received the metal. That location’s stock updates, and transfers can move it afterward.

Common questions.

Barcodes, old gold, metal balance, tax-free bills, and hedges.

How does the per-piece barcode entry work for purchased items?

When a purchase bill contains barcodeable items, each piece gets its own row. You enter or scan the barcode, then record the item code, gross weight, tag weight, remarks, and inventory location. Saving the bill generates a barcode label for every piece and sends it to the Zebra printer.

Can I buy old gold from customers through Metal Purchases?

Yes. Select the customer as the party, enter the piece with its weight and purity, and price the buy-back from the current gold rate. If the piece will be resold, a barcode tag is generated for it on the spot.

What happens to my metal balance when I record a purchase?

Inventory increases by the gross weight and pure weight on the bill. Pure weight is calculated from the gross weight and purity. The vendor balance or cash balance updates at the same time, depending on how the purchase was paid.

How does a piece purchased today get traced later?

The barcode on the tag links to the item code. Scanning it later shows the purchase record: the vendor or customer, the price paid, the arrival date, the assigned location, and later transactions. The purchase bill stays the origin record for that piece.

Can I mark a purchase as tax-free for raw bullion?

Yes. Set the bill to tax-free for raw metal, bullion, and other purchases that are exempt from VAT. That treatment applies to every line on the bill.

Does the wholesale purchase bill support hedged pricing?

Yes. On a wholesale purchase made under a hedge, record the hedge reference on the bill next to the rate used.

Every gram that comes in, documented from day one.

Metal Purchases records what you bought, from whom, at what weight and price, then keeps that origin on the piece through the barcode tag.
