Jewellery billing
Organizations of type Jewellery get weight-based pricing, daily metal rates and hallmark details on top of everything else.
What changes for a jewellery business
- New items and invoice lines start on jewellery pricing, in grams, with HSN 7113 and 3% GST.
- Items can hold metal type, purity, karat, hallmark number, HUID, tag number, barcode and default weights.
- Today's metal rates show at the top of the app, and Settings gains a Jewellery tab.
- Everything else (customers, receivables, expenses, reports) works the same as for any business.
The business type is chosen at sign-up and can't be changed later.
Daily metal rates
- Step 1: Each morning, an admin clicks the rates at the top of the app (or Update rates on a new invoice or estimate).
- Step 2: Type the day's per-gram rates for gold 24K, 22K and 18K, silver and platinum, and save. Saving unchanged rates confirms them for today.
- Until the day's rates are confirmed, the top of the app shows Update today's rates and new invoices and estimates show a reminder.
- On a new invoice or estimate, lines still at the old rate move to the new one.
- Settings > Jewellery also sets which rate new lines use by default, and holds reusable making-charge templates.
- Only admins can change rates and templates.
Jewellery lines on invoices and estimates
Each line is priced By weight or at a Flat rate. A By weight line groups its fields into:
| Group | Fields |
|---|---|
| Metal | Metal, purity (with common suggestions), HUID and hallmark. |
| Weight | Gross weight less stone weight gives net weight. Net is worked out for you unless you type it. |
| Charges | Wastage (VA) percent, and a making charge per piece or per gram. |
- The metal rate per gram goes in the Rate column. The line shows its working, for example 6.25 g × ₹13,775.00/g, then metal, wastage and making, and the amount before discount and GST.
- Quantity applies to the metal value, wastage and making charges.
- Picking a jewellery item fills the line from the item's defaults and today's rates.
- The invoice's Metal rate today fills lines that have no rate, and prints beside the invoice date.
- Printed invoices list each line's metal, purity, hallmark/HUID, weights, rate, wastage and making charge.
