Karigars and job work

Two accounts that never mix

Every karigar has a metal account — the fine grams of your metal they hold — and a money account — the making you owe them, less what you paid. One never pays off the other unless you choose to: handing metal back, or charging a shortfall at a rate.

Give a job, take the work back

Workshop & Quality → Jobs

The loss is what was given less what came back, in fine grams. Within the allowance the job completes on its own: the allowed loss comes off their metal account and the making goes on their money account.

Beyond the allowance the job waits for a supervisor, who decides: leave the extra on their metal account, charge it in money at a rate, or write it off.

1. 1 Jobs → New job: the karigar, what to make, the making rate and the loss allowed (their own unless you change it).
2. 2 Give material: metal from a lot, stones, findings or a piece already made. Their metal account goes up by the fine weight.
3. 3 Receive: weigh the finished pieces (each is tagged and goes to QC), the scrap, and any metal not used. Stones not set go back to loose stock.
