Job Work Management Software with GST & ITC-04
Send material to a foundry, machine shop, plater or moulder — and get it back without losing a challan, understating stock, or missing an ITC-04 deadline. OEMup tracks every outward and return movement, the material lying at each job worker, the statutory return clock, and assembles your ITC-04 in one click.
Why job work breaks in Tally and spreadsheets
Job work looks simple — send castings out, get machined parts back — but the GST compliance underneath it is unforgiving. Material that leaves your premises is still your stock and your liability. Tally and a delivery-challan register can record the movement, but they can’t do the four things that actually keep you compliant:
Challan reconciliation
Dozens of challans go out; partial quantities come back over weeks. Matching sent-vs-received by hand is where the errors hide.
OEMup: every return is matched to its outward challan automatically, with the pending balance always visible.The 1-year / 3-year return clock
Inputs not returned in 1 year (capital goods in 3) become a deemed supply — tax plus interest. A register never warns you.
OEMup: every challan is time-stamped and flagged as its deadline approaches. See the rules →Stock lying at the job worker
Material at a foundry isn’t in your godown, but it’s still your inventory. Spreadsheets understate stock and break costing.
OEMup: a distinct “stock at job worker” location keeps inventory accurate item-by-item, worker-by-worker.Filing ITC-04
The half-yearly / annual ITC-04 return means collating every movement before the due date — a manual scramble that fails audits.
OEMup: ITC-04 reconciliation assembled in one click from the data you already captured.The full job-work flow, automated
OEMup follows the material the way GST expects you to — from the moment it leaves your gate to the moment the return is reconciled:
- Send material on a Rule-55 challanRaise a job-work delivery challan (not a tax invoice) and the linked e-way bill where the consignment crosses the threshold. Stock moves to that job worker’s location.
- Track what’s out, and for how longLive view of every item at every job worker, with the return clock running on each challan so nothing silently crosses the 1-year / 3-year limit.
- Receive processed goods backBook the return against the original challan — full or partial — with scrap and process loss accounted for. The pending balance updates instantly.
- Record the job-work chargesCapture the job worker’s processing-charge invoice with correct GST and input tax credit, so the cost flows into product costing and your returns.
- File ITC-04 in one clickThe reconciliation of goods sent, goods received and goods pending is assembled for the period automatically — ready to file.

Job work management software — FAQ
What is job work management software?
Software that tracks material a manufacturer (the principal) sends to a third party (the job worker) for processing and brings back, while staying GST-compliant — generating Rule-55 challans and e-way bills, keeping the goods on your books as stock-at-job-worker, watching the return time limit, and assembling the ITC-04 return.
Does OEMup generate the ITC-04 return automatically?
Yes. Because every challan out and every receipt back is recorded against the job worker, OEMup assembles the ITC-04 reconciliation (goods sent, received and pending) for the period in one click — no spreadsheet scramble before the due date.
How does OEMup track the 1-year and 3-year return time limits?
Under Section 143 of the CGST Act, inputs must return within 1 year and capital goods within 3 years, or they become a deemed supply (tax + interest). OEMup time-stamps every challan and flags material nearing its deadline. Moulds, dies, jigs, fixtures and tools are exempt and tracked separately.
Can it generate Rule-55 delivery challans and e-way bills for job work?
Yes — for both the outward leg and the return leg, with the e-way bill linked where the consignment value crosses the threshold.
Does the software show stock lying at the job worker?
Yes. Material sent out stays on your books as a distinct “stock at job worker” location, so inventory is never understated and you always know how much of which item is at which job worker, and for how long.
Is GST on job work charges handled?
Yes. When the job worker bills their processing charges, OEMup records the inward invoice with the correct GST treatment and input tax credit, so the charge flows into costing and your GST returns correctly.
