Wholesale gets its own screen, shops get their own khata, and every payment prints a receipt
WHOLESALE IS NOW ITS OWN SCREEN, NOT A TILL TAB
• Wholesale Billing sits in the sidebar under POS Billing, with its own bill in
progress. A farmer at the counter and a shop's pallet order can both be open
at the same time; neither touches the other.
• It has everything the till has: barcode scanning, F2 to jump to the scanner,
the pack and batch picker, per-line rates, cash / credit / partial, discount
in rupees or percent, tax, back-dating an old bill, and the same receipt.
• Search results show your trade rate, so you see what you are about to charge
rather than the shelf price you are not.
• Before you save, the panel shows what the bill does to that shop's khata —
the number you actually decide on when a shop asks for more credit. A shop
near its credit limit is flagged before the bill is written, and a bill that
would take it past the limit is refused.
• The POS till is back to exactly what it was: customers only, one unfiltered
list, no wholesale tab.
SHOPS ARE THEIR OWN RECORDS
• A shop is no longer a customer with a tick. It has the fields a shop actually
has — trading name, proprietor, area, NTN, dealer licence.
• Add one from the wholesale screen, or convert an existing customer into a
shop. Their khata moves with them; their old bills stay where they are.
• Shop Khata is its own screen. When you both sell to and buy from a shop it
shows both sides and the net, so a balance that looks wrong can be explained
from the same page.
SHOPS CAN RETURN GOODS, THE SAME AS CUSTOMERS
• A shop sending stock back works exactly like a customer return: the goods go
into the batches they were sold from, and the shop's khata is credited or the
cash refund is recorded in the day's books.
• Returns against a shop bill appear on the bill, and can be cancelled the same
way.
ONE SALE HISTORY FOR BOTH
• Sale History now lists customer bills and shop bills together, with chips to
narrow to All bills, Customers or Shops. "What did I sell today?" is one
question, and it was taking two screens and adding the totals by hand.
• Shop bills are marked, so a trade bill is never mistaken for a farmer's.
• Wholesale Bills stays where it is for the shop-only view in one click.
• Your profit and loss statement, the day's returns, and top-selling products
now count wholesale as well as retail. A dealer moving half their stock to
other shops was reading a statement built only from the counter.
EVERY PAYMENT PRINTS A RECEIPT
• When a customer or a shop pays money against their khata, an 80 mm slip
prints: their name, what they owed before, what they just paid, and what is
left, with a signature line.
• This is the transaction most likely to be argued over months later, and it
was the one with no paper.
• It prints from wherever you take the payment — Recovery, the customer list,
or a shop's khata.
AUTO-PRINT NOW COVERS EVERY SLIP
• If you have chosen your thermal printer and switched auto-print on, every
80 mm slip goes straight to it — sale receipts, wholesale bills and payment
receipts alike. No printer dialog on any of them.
• Your printer is matched even if Windows reports its name slightly
differently, or it is shared over the network.
• If it genuinely cannot reach the printer, the receipt window now tells you
why — which printer it was looking for and what Windows is listing instead —
instead of quietly opening the print dialog.
DELETING A CUSTOMER, SHOP OR SUPPLIER
• Off by default. Turn it on in Settings > Customer, Shop and Supplier Records.
Admin only, whatever the setting says.
• Before anything is deleted you are shown exactly what goes: how many bills,
how many khata entries, and what balance disappears with them. You then type
the name to confirm.
• Stock from those bills goes back onto the shelf, so your inventory stays
correct. If the party is linked to a supplier for a netted khata, that other
record stays — only the link is cleared.
• To take a party out of your pickers without losing their history, mark them
inactive instead. That is still the right answer most of the time.
Your existing customers, suppliers, stock and khatas are untouched by this
update. Wholesale and the delete option are switched off until you turn them
on.
