Lists, search and records
How every list works (search, sort, filters, totals) and how records open, change and save.
Lists
Invoices, estimates, customers, items, suppliers, expenses, payments and credit notes all have the same kind of list.
- Search from the box at the top. The invoice list also finds invoices by order number or amount, written as 12400, 12,400 or ₹12,400.
- Click a column heading to sort by it; click again to reverse.
- Click a row to open the record.
- The footer shows how many rows match, totals for them (such as how much is still due), and Rows to change how many show per page. The default comes from Settings > General.
- A yellow star marks a favorite.
Filters
- Filters shows how many filters are on.
- Pick several values in one filter to see any of them, for example Unpaid and Overdue.
- Dates can be this or last month, this or last quarter, this or last financial year (April to March), or a custom From / To range.
- Filters that are on show as chips under the header. Tap × on a chip to remove it, or Clear all.
- The filter menu stays open until you choose Done. On a phone it opens from the bottom, and Show N results applies it.
| List | Filters |
|---|---|
| Invoices | Date, status, payment status |
| Estimates | Date, status (including Expired), converted or not |
| Customers | Customer type, tax status |
| Items | Item type, stock, GST |
| Suppliers | Tax status, opening balance |
| Expenses | Date, type, payment status, category, supplier, GST mode |
| Payments received | Date, payment method, advance |
| Credit notes | Date, reason, returned to stock |
Viewing and editing
- Drafts open ready to edit. Saved customers, suppliers, items, estimates, expenses and payments open read-only; choose Edit to change them.
- On the edit page, Cancel and Save are at the top right on a computer and in the bar at the bottom on a phone.
- Save tells you what is missing instead of saving, for example a customer, a date or an item name.
- If you leave a page with unsaved changes, Biththi asks whether to discard them.
- On a computer, Previous and Next at the bottom of a record move through the list in order.
- Deleting always asks you to confirm first.
Good to know: Saved invoices, saved purchase bills and credit notes can't be edited. Correct an invoice with a credit note.
