Billing & GST Guide

Handling sales and GST compliance is the heart of PharmaDesk. Here's how to manage your daily billing efficiently.

Creating a Sale

1. Press Ctrl + N or click New Bill.
2. Search Medicine: Type the name or scan the barcode.
3. Select Batch: PharmaDesk automatically selects the oldest batch (to prevent expiry loss) but you can manually override it.
4. Enter Quantity: Use the fast numeric entry or mouse.
5. Applied Taxes: GST (CGST/SGST/IGST) is calculated automatically based on the HSN code.

GST Compliance

• Manual Overrides: You can change the GST type if you're selling out-of-state.
• Reporting: GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries are updated in real-time under the Reports section.
• HSN Intelligence: When adding new products, PharmaDesk suggests the correct HSN code from our global database.
