Inward Challans
A register of the material a principal has left with us: what was received, what has been worked on, and what went back. It never enters stock, because it is not ours — only the labour is billed.
Switch: Settings > Jobs > Inward Challans.
Where it appears
Job work shell: Material With Us in Navigation and the Receive Material quick action. Billing charges the work done, not the goods.

- Material With Us - every open inward challan, what it holds and how long it has held it.
- Receive Material - the intake: principal, what came in, how much, against which job.
Switching off. Warns at save when inward challans are still open, holding material that is not ours — the settings page says how many.
