Step-by-step InvoBill guides for GST invoicing, purchases, stock, payments, reports and offline work.
Getting started
- Add customers and suppliers — Add a party with the right type, GSTIN, state, opening balance, credit limit and payment terms, so tax and balances come out right.
- Add products and services — Add a product or service with the right HSN or SAC, GST rate, prices, opening stock and tracking.
- Set up your company and financial year — Create your company, add its locations, and create the financial year before the first invoice.
- Start here: the InvoBill workflow — The order to set InvoBill up in, and how one record leads to the next.
- Your first 15 minutes on a phone — Sign up, create your company, add your first products and customer, and make your first bill, step by step, from an Android phone or iPhone.
Sales and billing
- Create a GST sales invoice — Pick a customer, add items, check the tax split, choose cash or credit, save, then print or share. Every screen, step by step.
- Use Quick Sale for counter billing — Search or scan, build the cart, take cash, UPI or card, hold a bill, and print a receipt. Every tap from the counter screen.
- Quotation, sales order, delivery challan and invoice — How the sales documents connect, and which ones you really need.
- Handle returns and credit notes — Issue a credit note for a return, an overcharge or a late discount, instead of editing a finished invoice.
- Send or print a bill — Share a PDF from your phone, print an A4 invoice, print an 80mm or 110mm thermal receipt, reprint a counter receipt and set your default format.
- Take UPI payments at the counter — Add your UPI ID once. Quick Sale then prints a QR for the exact amount on the receipt. Step by step, including split payments and what to check.
- Sell on credit (udhaar) and collect the money — Create a credit bill, set a due date and credit limit, see who owes you, and record each payment against the right bills. Step by step.
- Fill an invoice by typing it (AI quick entry, Beta) — Type a bill in plain words and InvoBill pre-fills the customer and items for you to review. It never saves on its own.
Purchases
- Purchase order → goods receipt → purchase invoice — Raise a purchase order, receive the goods, then enter the supplier bill against the receipt. Each screen and button, and what each step does to stock and money.
- Record expenses and debit notes — Add an expense with category, payment mode and receipt, optionally scan a bill, and know where debit notes live.
- Scan a bill to fill an expense — Photograph or upload a supplier bill and InvoBill pre-fills the expense for you to check. Multi-page bills and unknown suppliers are handled.
Inventory
- Understand how stock moves — Which screens add, remove or move stock, and exactly how to use Stock Issue, Stock Receive, Stock Transfers and Stock Journal.
- Plan reorders and manage price lists — Find low-stock products, create purchase orders in one go, and set customer-group prices with price lists. Every screen and button.
- Transfer stock between locations — Send stock from one location to another in two steps: Dispatch, then Receive at the destination.
- Fix a stock mismatch with a stock audit — Create an audit task, enter the physical count, give a reason for any difference and resolve it.
- Track batches, expiry and serial numbers — Turn on tracking in the product, capture batches and serials at receipt and sale, and watch expiry on the Expiry Radar.
Accounts and payments
- Receive and make payments — Record money you receive from customers and pay to suppliers, allocate it to bills, and see what stays on account.
- Reconcile a bank account — Import a CSV bank statement, match each line to your records, and clear the differences.
- Accounting, ledgers and financial statements — Where to review your books: ledgers, trial balance, balance sheet and profit and loss.
GST and compliance
- Prepare GST returns and reconcile data — Export GSTR-1 JSON, read the GSTR-3B summary, use the Returns Workbench, and compare GSTR-2B with your books. What is built and what is not.
- GST basics in InvoBill — How the tax split is decided and what to check on every invoice. This explains the app, not tax law.
- E-invoice and e-way bill: what is available — E-invoice (IRN) and e-way bill need a connected GST provider. This explains what you see and what to do.
Reports
- Choose the right report — Which report answers which question, and what to check before you export.
Settings and access
- Invite users and assign roles safely — Invite a team member by email or a temporary password, give them the least access they need, and know what each role can and cannot do.
- Move your data from BUSY — Bring your masters and balances from a BUSY backup into InvoBill with the Data Migration wizard, and see what is not supported yet.
- Share your catalogue, give your CA access, and what Self Checkout is — Share your product catalogue on WhatsApp, give your accountant read-only access, and understand that Self Checkout is a demo for now.
- Keyboard shortcuts — The shortcuts that work in InvoBill on a laptop or desktop, and the ones the in-app cheat sheet lists that do not match.
- Set up the invoice document format — Pick or edit the invoice template, preview it, and check the output on your own printer.
- Back up, export and recover your data — Download a backup file, restore it on a new phone, bring back a deleted record from the Recycle Bin, and export reports for your accountant.
Offline and sync
- What works offline — Which records InvoBill keeps on your device so billing can continue without internet, what still needs a connection, and how to get ready before the network drops.
- Understand sync status and conflicts — What Pending sync, Syncing, Sync failed, Sync stopped, Synced and Needs review mean, and how an administrator resolves a conflict.
- Install InvoBill as an app — Install InvoBill on your phone or computer so it opens like an app and keeps working with weak internet.
Troubleshooting
- The app is offline or will not sync — Step by step what to do when records stay Pending sync or show Sync failed, without losing any work.
- A document or total looks missing — Check the usual causes before you re-enter anything, so you do not create duplicates.
- Contact support with useful details — What to include when you write to support, and what to never send.
- Cannot sign in, change your password or open a page — What each sign-in problem means and what to do. Never share your password.
