The Main Sections

The application is divided into sections, accessible from the left sidebar. Each one has a specific purpose.

• Dashboard: Your business's "health check" at a glance. See sales, profits, and important alerts in real-time.
• Stock & Sale: Your visual catalog. Browse sarees and add them to the cart for a new sale.
• Orders: Your digital order book. Look up past sales and check who has pending payments.
• Management: Your back-office. Add new stock, update products, and record business expenses.
• Reports: Your analytics hub. Generate PDF reports to understand your business performance.

The Dashboard: Your Daily Briefing

This is the first screen you see, designed to give you the most critical information in seconds.

What the Numbers Mean

• Total Revenue: The actual money earned (Total Sales minus any Dues). This is your most important cash flow number.
• Net Profit: The ultimate bottom line (Revenue minus Expenses). Positive is good, negative is a loss.
• Outstanding Dues: Money that customers still owe you. Keep this number low!

Actionable Alerts

The dashboard shows two important alerts. Simply click on them to see a detailed list.

• Low Stock Items: Appears when any saree stock is 5 or less. Click to see what you need to reorder.
• Overdue Payments: Appears when a customer has missed their due date. Click to see who you need to follow up with.

How to Make a Sale (Step-by-Step)

1. Go to the Stock & Sale section.
2. Find the sarees the customer wants. Use the search bar at the top if needed.
3. In the box below each saree, enter the quantity they wish to buy. The floating cart icon at the bottom-right will update.
4. When ready, click the floating cart icon to open the Checkout window.
5. In the Checkout window:
   • Verify the items and quantities.
   • If giving a discount, you can change the price for any item directly.
   • Enter all payment and customer details. Use Split Payment if the customer is paying with both cash and card.
6. Click Complete Sale. A PDF bill will be generated automatically.

Managing Orders & Dues

How to Find a Past Order

Go to the Orders section. Use the filters at the top to find any order by date, customer name, or payment status (e.g., select "Has Due" to see all pending payments).

How to Settle a Due Payment

In the Orders list, find the bill with a DUE or OVERDUE status. Click on the status button itself. This will open a window where you can enter the amount the customer paid. The system will update the due balance and generate a new payment receipt.

Managing Your Inventory & Expenses

All administrative tasks are done in the Management section.

Inventory Tasks

• Add Saree: Use this to add one new product at a time. The system will also log this as an "Inventory Purchase" expense automatically.
• Bulk Add Stock: The fastest way to add many new products. Prepare your list in a spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) in the correct order, then copy and paste the data into the text box.
• Edit/Update a Saree: In the product list on the right, simply click on any row to open the edit window. You can change prices, update stock, or process a return to the manufacturer from here.

Expense Tracking

Use the Add Expense button to log every business-related cost, from rent and electricity to transportation. Accurate expense tracking is the key to understanding your true profitability.
