Question 1

Is MyBillBook good for inventory management?

Accepted Answer

MyBillBook is primarily a billing and invoicing application. It records the items you sell and adjusts basic stock quantities accordingly, which is useful for knowing how much of each product you have in hand. For simple single-location stock tracking, it provides a basic stock summary. However, MyBillBook's inventory features are limited in several important ways. It does not support multiple godowns or warehouses — if you store goods in more than one place, you cannot track location-wise stock. It does not provide an item-wise ledger, so you cannot trace the complete movement history of a specific product. It does not support barcode scanning, making billing with large catalogs slower. There is no manufacturing or production module, and stock reports are basic without godown-wise breakdowns. If billing is your primary need and you run a small single-location business with a limited catalog, MyBillBook works adequately. But if inventory management is important to your business — tracking stock across locations, auditing item movement, scanning barcodes at the counter, or managing production — Stock Register is significantly better suited.

Question 2

Can I migrate my data from MyBillBook to Stock Register?

Accepted Answer

Yes, migrating from MyBillBook to Stock Register is straightforward. The process takes most users 30 minutes or less. Step 1: In MyBillBook, export your item list and party list (customers and suppliers) to Excel or CSV. This captures your product catalog with prices, HSN codes, and tax rates, plus all your customer and supplier details. Step 2: Open Stock Register, create your business profile, and configure your GST settings and godowns. Then use the Bulk Upload feature to import your items from the Excel file. Map the columns (name, price, HSN, tax rate) to Stock Register's fields. Your full catalog will be imported in minutes. Step 3: Enter your current stock quantities as opening balances. For each godown you have, enter how much of each item is currently stored there. Set minimum stock levels for low stock alerts. After this, you are fully operational — every transaction will track inventory automatically. If you need assistance during migration, Stock Register's support team is available on WhatsApp and phone to guide you through each step.

Question 3

Does Stock Register have the same GST billing features as MyBillBook?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stock Register provides comprehensive GST billing support including CGST, SGST, IGST, and cess calculations. You can create GST invoices, sales returns, purchase bills, purchase returns, delivery challans, credit notes, and debit notes. HSN codes, tax rates, place of supply, and reverse charge are all supported. Stock Register generates GSTR-1 and GSTR-2 reports for your accountant or CA to use for GST filing. Multiple invoice themes are available for A4 printing and thermal printers (2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch). You can add your business logo, bank details, terms and conditions, and digital signature to invoices. MyBillBook also has strong GST billing features. Both apps handle GST invoicing well for small and medium businesses. The meaningful difference between them is not in billing — it is in inventory management, where Stock Register offers godown tracking, item ledger, barcode scanning, and manufacturing features that MyBillBook does not provide.

Question 4

How much cheaper is Stock Register compared to MyBillBook?

Accepted Answer

Stock Register is considerably more affordable than MyBillBook while offering more inventory features. Here is a direct comparison: Stock Register Basic plan (Android app, single user): ₹900/year. Stock Register Advance plan (Android + web, 2 staff): ₹1,800/year. Stock Register Advance Plus plan (Android + web, 3 staff, all features): ₹3,600/year. MyBillBook Silver plan: ₹2,599/year. MyBillBook Gold plan: ₹3,999/year. MyBillBook Premium plan: ₹4,999/year. The most relevant comparison is Stock Register Advance Plus at ₹3,600/year versus MyBillBook Premium at ₹4,999/year. Stock Register saves you ₹1,399 per year and includes godown management, item ledger, barcode scanning, and manufacturing features that MyBillBook does not offer at any price point. You get more features and pay less.

Question 5

Why do businesses with multiple godowns switch from MyBillBook to Stock Register?

Accepted Answer

MyBillBook does not support multiple warehouses or godowns. The entire system treats all your inventory as a single pool — there is no way to assign stock to a specific location or track how items move between places. For a business operating from a single shop with minimal storage, this is not a problem. But for any business with a separate godown, a warehouse that supplies multiple stores, or multiple branch locations, the absence of multi-godown support is a serious limitation. You end up maintaining a physical register or Excel sheet for each location, then manually reconciling these with MyBillBook's overall stock numbers. This creates extra work and introduces errors. Stock Register handles this natively. You create each godown in the system and assign stock to specific locations. When you purchase goods, you specify which godown receives them. When you sell, stock is deducted from the correct location. When you need to move items between locations, you do a stock transfer that creates a complete audit trail. Godown-wise reports show you exactly what is where at any point in time. For distributors, wholesalers, and retailers with storage locations separate from their sales counter, this feature alone is the primary reason to switch from MyBillBook to Stock Register.

Question 6

Does Stock Register support barcode scanning for billing and stock management?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stock Register's Android app has built-in barcode scanning using your phone's camera. You do not need a separate barcode scanner device — the app works with the camera on any modern Android smartphone. During billing, tap the barcode icon and scan the product barcode. The item is instantly added to the bill without any manual searching. For shops with large product catalogs (200+ items), this eliminates the time spent scrolling through item lists during busy hours and reduces the chance of selecting the wrong item. Barcode scanning also works for stock management. When receiving goods, scan items to add them to stock quickly and accurately. For stock-out entries or stock counts, scan items rather than searching by name. MyBillBook does not support barcode scanning. If your business handles a large number of SKUs and billing speed is important to you, this is one of the most immediate and noticeable improvements you will experience after switching to Stock Register.

Question 7

Can Stock Register handle manufacturing and kit assembly that MyBillBook cannot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stock Register has a dedicated manufacturing module that MyBillBook does not offer at all. If your business assembles products, packages goods, processes raw materials into finished products, or creates kits from components, this module is built for you. You define a Bill of Materials (BOM) for each finished product — specifying exactly which raw materials and components are needed, and in what quantities. For example, a solar kit might require 1 solar panel, 1 battery, 2 connectors, and 1 controller. When you record a production run for 10 solar kits, Stock Register automatically deducts 10 panels, 10 batteries, 20 connectors, and 10 controllers from your raw material inventory and adds 10 finished kits to your finished goods inventory. Everything stays accurate without any manual stock adjustment. This feature is used by businesses that assemble electronics, pack gift hampers, bottle liquids into retail containers, stitch garments from fabric, and many other production processes. It is a major gap in MyBillBook that forces manufacturing businesses to track raw material consumption manually.

Question 8

How does the item ledger in Stock Register compare to MyBillBook?

Accepted Answer

MyBillBook shows you the current quantity in hand for each item. That is the extent of its stock history. If you want to know why your stock of a particular item is lower than expected, or trace when a specific batch was sold, MyBillBook gives you no way to do that. Stock Register maintains a full item-wise ledger for every product. For any item, you can open its ledger and see every transaction that affected its stock — every purchase with supplier name and date, every sale with customer name and date, every production entry, every stock transfer between godowns, and every manual adjustment. Each entry shows the quantity moved and the running balance after the transaction. This is extremely valuable for reconciliation and auditing. If there is a discrepancy between what you think you have and what is physically in stock, the item ledger lets you trace exactly where the gap occurred. This capability is what separates a proper inventory management system from a basic stock counter — and it is one of the core reasons businesses move from MyBillBook to Stock Register.

Question 9

Should I switch from MyBillBook to Stock Register?

Accepted Answer

Consider switching if any of the following apply to your business: You store goods in more than one location (a shop, a godown, multiple branches) and need to track stock separately per location. You want to see the complete movement history of specific items to understand where stock is going. You handle a large product catalog and want barcode scanning to speed up billing and stock operations. You assemble, manufacture, or process goods and need a BOM-based production module. You are paying ₹3,999 or more per year for MyBillBook and want more inventory features for less money. You may be fine staying with MyBillBook if: You run a single-location business with a small catalog and simple billing needs. You do not need to track stock movement history beyond current quantities. Your primary need is GST invoicing without advanced inventory management. The best way to decide is to try Stock Register's free trial. Import your items from MyBillBook, set up your godowns, and test the features with your real data. If the item ledger, godown tracking, and barcode scanning solve problems you currently work around manually, the switch is worth making. Stock Register's support team can also help you evaluate whether it is the right fit for your specific business.

Question 10

Does Stock Register work offline like MyBillBook?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stock Register's Android app works offline. You can create bills, record purchases, update stock, and perform all core operations without an internet connection. Your data syncs to the cloud automatically when connectivity is restored. This makes it reliable for shops in areas with intermittent connectivity or during network outages. MyBillBook has partial offline support on its mobile app, though some features may require connectivity. Both apps are designed to be usable in typical Indian business conditions where internet can be inconsistent. Stock Register also has a web version that requires an internet connection, as web applications do. But for day-to-day billing and stock operations on your phone, offline mode works seamlessly.
