27 December 2010 Thank you for your response.

It may be noted that in the above workshop business, when they get a VEHICLE for Servicing / Repair, that time only they purchase the necessary items (as given above) for that vehicle based on the requirement for that vehicle only.

In short, the purchases are purely based on 'per vehicle'.

Hence, the above workshop will never have any stock of materials in hand.

Can you consider the above facts and advise me suitably ?

28 December 2010 You can account for it as Purchase Consummables, and expense it out since it is directly related to the service that is provided.

if anything is purchased in bulk and used for service as and when the need arises you will have to keep a stock register and whenever something is used it will be treated as expense.
