How can I add taxes?

To add taxes to a sale, you can create a tax profile by clicking on "Create a Tax Profile." Fill out the form by entering the tax name, percentage, and type (Compound or Direct Tax), and save it under a profile name. This tax profile can then be applied to a sale by selecting it from the Tax profile input.

How can I add a discount?

Discounts can be added to a sale from the discount input when recording a sale. You can choose between two types of discounts: amount (by selecting the currency option) or percentage (by selecting the % option).

How are products deducted from the inventory when sold?

The quantity of products sold is deducted from your inventory based on the Inventory Reduction settings in your sales settings. The default setting is "On Invoice," but you can choose from the following options:

  • On Invoice: Inventory is reduced when the invoice is created.

  • On Part-Payment: Inventory is reduced when a partial payment is made.

  • On Receipt: Inventory is reduced only when full payment is received
