Standard accounting package Vs ORNATE
Differences between a standard accounting package and ORNATE Lite jewellery accounting package
Standard Accounting Packages   ORNATE Lite (Jewellery Accounting Package)
All such packages like Tally, EX, FACT, Profit etc. are developed keeping general trading and/ or manufacturing requirements in mind. So, if a jeweller wants to maintain their records in such packages, they have to adjust to the package.
ORNATE group of products (Like Ornate Lite, Ornate 2007 and Ornate Premium) are designed specially for Jewellery business only. So, all the functions are designed keeping requirement of Jewellery trade and thus users do not require any adjustment to be made.
Stock maintenance happens in one or two units.
Jewellers require stock to be maintained in multiple units at a time like Gross Wt, Net Wt and Pieces. In wholesale trade stock based on Fine Wt may also be required. ORNATE offers stock on all the units at a time, which is a very basic requirement of any jeweller.
There is no concept of Purity or fine ness in standard packages.
Metals like Gold and silver are traded only based on purity or fineness. Again, one needs to carry out conversions from fine to 22 KT or 18KT as a regular practice. ORNATE offers such facilities in a very simple and easy format.
in jewellery trade, Fine Gold, 22KT Gold and 18KT Gold are all variations of Gold only, but user should -be able to carry out conversion of stock from Fine Gold to 22KT or 18 KT gold and know.how-much has he'earned from each of such variation. Standard packages do not have such facility.
ORNATE products offer this feature.

In Jewellery trade, there are many types of charges applicable per each item like labour charges, stone charges, rhodium charges etc. In any accounting package, one has to enter each of such charge separately in separate row while preparing bill. This makes billing very cumbersome and lengthy.
ORNATE products offer all such charges to be entered in the same row with each item.
