Discounts and bill sundries
Codify your commercial policy — who gets what discount, and which charges ride on top of the bill.
Discounts
The Discount master (Masters → Discount) stores your standing discount rules — by item, by item group, or by account. When you bill a party, matching rules pre-fill the discount on each line, so operators don't have to remember the deal you struck. Per-line overrides are always possible on the form.
- 1
Open Masters → Discount and choose Add
Pick what the rule applies to: an item, an item group, or a specific account.
- 2
Set the percentage
Enter the discount the rule should apply.
- 3
Save and test
Bill the relevant party once and confirm the line picks up the expected discount.
Modifying discounts and tracking changes
Masters → Discount → Modify Discount is a two-part workspace. The Edit discounts tab finds rules by account, item group, or item, and lets you change them one row at a time or in bulk — with a running count of unsaved changes and Ctrl+S to save everything at once. The Change history tab keeps a permanent register of every discount change: who changed it, when, what the old value was, and what it became.
- 1
Find the rules you want to change
Pick a search mode (account, item group, or item), choose from the suggestions, and load the matching rules. Use the filter box to narrow long lists.
- 2
Edit inline or in bulk
Type new percentages directly in the table, or use the Bulk edit card to apply one value to all selected rows. Rows marked Unsaved are not stored until you save them.
- 3
Review the change history
Switch to the Change history tab to see every change in the chosen period — created, updated, and deleted rules, with old → new values, the user who made the change, and whether it came from manual editing or a file import.
- 4
Export the register
Filter the history to what you need — by period, action, source, user, or free text — and choose Export Excel. The file contains exactly the rows you see, with old and new values in separate columns.
What the history records
The register starts recording from the day this feature is switched on — changes made before that are not back-filled. A rule edited to the same value it already had is not logged, so the history shows only real changes. If two people edit the same rule at the same moment, their changes may be merged into one recorded entry.
Bill sundries
Bill sundries (Masters → Bill Sundry) are amounts that sit on the bill, below the items: freight, packing, insurance, loading, round-off, or any deduction. Each sundry is defined once — whether it adds to or subtracts from the bill — and then appears as a pickable row in the sundries section of every transaction form.
| Example sundry | Direction | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Freight / Cartage | Adds | Delivery charged to the party. |
| Packing charges | Adds | Material and handling recovered on the bill. |
| Special rebate | Subtracts | Bill-level concession after items. |
| Round off | Either | Settles the grand total to a whole rupee. |
Where taxes fit
GST on your invoice comes from the items' tax rates and the transaction's sale/purchase type — you do not add GST as a manual sundry. Keep sundries for genuine commercial charges and deductions.
