Frequently asked questions

Short answers to common first-use questions.

What should I set up first?

Start with Company & Branding, Accounting & GST, Bank Accounts and financial periods. Then add masters, customers and vendors before making documents.

Can I use an item more than once?

Yes. Create it once in Items & Services, then select it in transaction forms so code, unit, HSN/SAC and tax details are reused.

How do I correct a customer sale or supplier purchase?

Use the appropriate edit, credit note, debit note or cancel workflow available for the document. Review the original record and GST effect before taking action.

Where is the attached supplier bill saved?

When Drive is connected, supported files attached to a Purchase Bill are organised under your selected GST root folder and matching financial-year folder.

Can I download my data?

Yes. Go to Configuration → Data & Backup to download a full workspace backup. Use invoice/report export actions for document-level output.

Why do I see an outstanding amount?

It is the portion of invoices not yet matched with customer payments. Review Outstanding Invoices, Customer Ledger and Customer Payments.

No manual topic matches that search. Try “invoice”, “GST”, “Drive” or “backup”.
