  • Protect margin and keep books clean with operations and accounting tied together line by line.

Everything Merchants Need to Run Full-Cycle ERP

Core inventory, purchasing, and finance pillars — without tying your mercantile to a pile of bolt-on tools.

Supplier Purchase Orders

Create, approve, and track supplier POs from open through receipt with clear quantity, date, and cost visibility.

Warehouses and Multi-Location Inventory

Track stock by warehouse and location with clear availability for allocation and fulfillment commitments.

PO Receipts and Stock Movement

Record purchase-order receipts and inventory movements so on-hand quantities stay accurate in real time.

Proposals to Ordered Workflow

Move demand from proposals into ordered lines and downstream purchasing without manual re-entry.

SKU Margin Accounting

Use cost and margin views to monitor profitability and protect margin at item and project levels.

Invoicing and Payment Allocation

Issue invoices, capture receipts, and allocate payments across invoices with safeguards against over-allocation.

Ledger and Financial Posting

Post operational events into financial workflows so commercial activity and books stay synchronized.

Operational Reporting

Run reports for purchasing, fulfillment, invoicing, cash, and margin performance from one reporting surface.

Keystone Consignment Integration

Exchange scoped inventory and invoice data with Keystone Consignment APIs for cross-product merchant operations.

Sales Tax & Rates

Configure tax jurisdictions and retail rates so invoices and receipts stay compliant without spreadsheet sidecars.

Budget vs Actual

Set departmental or category budgets and compare to operational actuals before margin drift surprises the owner.

Job & Install Costing

Tag transactions to jobs or install projects so labor and materials roll up before you quote the next counter sale.

Recurring Orders & Templates

Schedule repeat supplier buys and memorized proposal lines so seasonal stocking stays on rails.

Expense Claims & Petty Cash

Capture counter reimbursements and petty drawers with approvals posting cleanly into the ledger.

Audit Trail

See who touched receipts, transfers, and postings — a straight story when the CPA or partner asks.

Attachments & Documents

Pin packing slips, vendor invoices, and customer POs to receipts and invoices so proof rides with the transaction.

Fully Web-Based

Nothing to install behind the counter — open a browser and run the floor from any trusted device.

Multi-User & Role-Based Access

Give receivers, buyers, and owners the lanes they need — without handing everyone the keys to the vault.

End User Documentation

Open the DustyMillerMerchant manual index for step-by-step PDFs covering login, inventory, channels, sales, orders, reports, settings, support, and mobile workflows.
