For Surat's fabric and saree wholesalers: bills by the metre at the right rate, bales to every state with an e-way bill from the IRN, and long broker credit tracked party by party, with reminders in Gujarati.
What's hard in textile wholesale
Fabric, sarees and garments sit in different HSN chapters, and garments change rate with the price per piece. Each item carries its own HSN and rate, so the bill is right without a lookup.

Retailers buy on long credit, often through a broker. Credit days and limits per party, an A–E grade from how they actually pay, and reminders in their language keep the book honest.
Warning shown before billing a D party again
Bales go to retailers in other states by transport. The e-way bill is made from the IRN, and the list shows what expires today.

Surat textile trade
Surat's wholesale cloth trade is concentrated in the market buildings along Ring Road and Saroli, where synthetic fabric, sarees and dress material are sold to retailers and wholesalers across India. Much of it moves on credit, often arranged through a broker, and much of it leaves Gujarat by road in bales.
That shapes the bill. Most lines are fabric at 5%, priced per metre; a growing share is readymade, where the rate depends on the price per piece. The buyer is often in another state, so the bill is IGST and the bale needs an e-way bill before the transport picks it up.
Job work is part of Surat's trade too: grey fabric goes out for dyeing, printing or embroidery and comes back finished. Delivery challans for job work are not in Moharbill yet, so keep using your current method for those.

FAQ
Under Gujarat's notification, movement within the same city and intra-state movement of hank, yarn, fabric and garments for job work need no e-way bill. Sending goods for job work to another state needs one whatever the value. Confirm the current position with your CA.
Yes. Each item has its own unit, so a saree line in pieces and a fabric line in metres sit on the same bill with their own rates and HSN.
Yes. Each party has a language, so a retailer in Jaipur can get reminders in Hindi while your counter works in Gujarati.
Yes. When the place of supply is outside Gujarat, the line tax is IGST; inside Gujarat it is CGST + SGST.
Note the broker on the party or in the bill's notes. Broker commission accounting is not in Moharbill.
