Add a Party (Customer or Supplier)
Before you can create a sales or purchase invoice, you need to add the party (customer or supplier) to Stock Register. A party record stores the name, contact details, GST information, and opening balance. Once added, the party appears in dropdowns across the app โ when creating invoices, recording payments, or generating reports. You can also add parties quickly during invoice creation itself if you are in a hurry.
Steps
- Navigate to Parties from the sidebar.
- Click the "+ Add Party" button.
- Enter the Party Name (required).
- Select party type: Customer or Supplier.
- Add Phone Number and Address (optional).
- For GST parties, enter GSTIN and State.
- Set Opening Balance if the party has a pre-existing balance.
- Assign a Party Category for easy filtering (e.g., Regular, Premium).
- Click "Save" to add the party.
Tip: You can add a party quickly during invoice creation itself โ no need to go to the Parties section separately.
Common Questions
Opening Balance is the amount a party already owes you (or you owe them) when you start using Stock Register. For example, if a customer already owed you โน5,000 before you began using the app, set that as their opening balance. This ensures your party balances are accurate from day one.
