Dairy plant ma purchase karela dudh ane physical silo stock vache lakho rupiya no inventory farak kem aave chhe?

Dairy factories ma moti inventory bhul tyare thay chhe jyare purchase accounting fakt liters ma thay chhe, parantu factory floor par dudh na main components (Fat ane SNF) alag alag consume thay chhe. Raw milk jyare cream, butter ane toned milk ma process thay, tyare volumetric single-item accounting evaporation ane skimming losses ne chhupavi de chhe. Fat ane SNF mass balance sathe two-axis inventory valuation implement karva thi physical tank stock factory na ledger sathe 100% tally thay chhe.

Key takeaways

  • Dudh ne fakt liters ma track karso to balance sheet drift 100% thase, kem ke dudh nu real value Fat ane SNF solids ma chhe.
  • Bina record kareli cream separation ane batch evaporation plant working capital ne silently nuksan kare chhe.
  • Farmer procurement formula (two-axis pricing) direct inventory ledger sathe connect hovu joiye jethi phantom profit na bane.
  • Standardization work orders ma har batch nu input mass balance finished pouch yields ane by-products sathe match thavu jaroori chhe.

Factory Ni Real Story: Chopda Ma Nopho Dikhay, Pan Physical Tank Khali

Saurashtra ni ek private dairy processing unit ma daily 25,000 liters raw milk collection thatu hatu. Har mahine business lagbhag ₹2.85 crore nu dudh cooperative mandali ane local chilling centers thi purchase kartu hatu. Management na accounting software chopda ma har mahine 4.8% operating profit margin aavto hato, ane inventory valuation balance sheet ma perfect lagti hati.

Pan financial year na third quarter na physical stock audit ma ek moti gadbadi bahar aavi. General ledger na hisab thi silos ane cold storage ma ₹44.5 lakh nu raw milk ane cream hovu joiye. Jyare dip-rod thi volume mapyu ane lab ma fat testing karyu, tyare physical stock nu real value fakt ₹39.3 lakh niklyu. Pure ₹5.2 lakh no mal gayab hato.

Problem Nu Root Cause: Liter Accounting Vs Component Accounting

Traditional accounting packages dudh ne fakt ek single item mane chhe jenu unit 'Liters' hoy chhe. Pan AS-2 (Valuation of Inventories) ane dairy science pramane dudh koi simple uniform product nathi. Raw milk be kimti components nu natural emulsion chhe: Butterfat ane Solid-Not-Fat (SNF jema protein ane lactose hoy chhe).

Jyare dairy plant dudh purchase kare, tyare bhav single rate par nahi pan two-axis pricing formula par decide thay chhe:

Two-Axis Milk Purchase Pricing Formula

Milk Price per Kg = (Fat % × Fat Rate) + (SNF % × SNF Rate)

Example: 4.2% Fat @ ₹420/kg fat ane 8.5% SNF @ ₹280/kg SNF = ₹17.64 + ₹23.80 = ₹41.44 per kg.

Bhul tyare thai jyare accounts department e ledger entry 'Raw Milk Stock' fakt ₹41.44 per kg par kari. Jyare processing tank ma 4.2% Fat raw milk mathi cream separator chalavi ne Toned Milk (3.0% Fat) banavyu, tyare baki nu 1.2% fat 40% cream na roop ma bahar nikli gayu. Ledger ne khabar j na padi ke cream alag thai gai chhe!

Hisab Nu Ganit: ₹5,20,000 No Phantom Asset Kem Banyo

Juvo a calculation ke 1,00,000 liters milk standardize karta traditional ledger ane actual physical mass balance ma su farak aaviyo:

Closing Book Inventory Value₹44,50,000 (Paper ledger)₹39,30,000 (Actual verified fat value)₹5,20,000 Phantom Asset Loss

Jyare cream ne alag vechi didhi ane eno paiso miscellaneous income ma nakhi didho bina raw milk batch cost credit kare, tyare raw milk balance sheet par full value par boltu rahyu. Real ma tank ma bachelu dudh toned milk hatu jemathi fat nikli chukyu hatu. A na karane ₹5.2 lakh no seedho stock loss aaviyo.
