Bike showroom: keeping engine and chassis records right
Why every bike needs its engine and chassis number written once, how a wrong number causes trouble at registration, and a simple daily routine.

Write each bike's engine and chassis number once, when it comes in, and copy it from there everywhere else. Most registration delays at a showroom start with one digit typed wrong on the sale letter.
What to record for every vehicle
| Field | Why |
|---|---|
| Engine number | Printed on the sale letter and the registration papers |
| Chassis number | Checked by excise against the invoice |
| Make, model, year, colour | What the customer asks for |
| New or used | Used ones need the seller's papers |
| Bought for | Your profit on the sale |
A daily routine
- Morning: count the bikes on the floor against the stock list.
- Each sale: pick the bike by its engine number, not "a red CD 70".
- Evening: check which files are with you, sent, or waiting for the number plate.
Used bikes
When you buy a used bike from a person, write who sold it, their mobile and CNIC, and keep their papers in the file. If you pay part now and the rest later, what you still owe them should be written against their name.
The motorcycle showroom software keeps every vehicle by engine and chassis number, stops the same number being added twice, and follows each file. Start free.
