How-To Guides
Practical, step-by-step walkthroughs for the most common day-to-day tasks.
Create a sales invoice
- 1
Open Sales → Invoices
From the sidebar, expand Sales and click Invoices, then New Invoice. - 2
Pick the customer
Select an existing customer or create one inline. Their GSTIN and place of supply drive the tax treatment. - 3
Add line items
Choose items, quantities and rates. CGST/SGST (intrastate) or IGST (interstate) is calculated automatically per line. - 4
Review totals & save
Check taxable value, tax and grand total, then save. The invoice posts a balanced double-entry journal. - 5
Send / e-invoice

+ shortcut that appears on the sidebar item to jump straight to a new invoice.Record a vendor bill

Manage from the list
Each row in Bills has an Actions column — View, Edit (drafts only), Delete/Void, plus Post to Ledger and Record Payment. Filter by status, vendor, date range or amount range.
Editing bills
Only draft bills can be edited (vendor, dates, lines, tax). Once posted, a bill must be voided & reversed rather than edited, to keep the ledger audit-clean.
