Add amounts, billing type and adjustments

You will have the freight and any extra charges on the booking, a Total Amount excl. tax the customer invoice picks up unchanged, and the POD and files in their place.

Add Amounts is the money panel of the booking. It opens from the booking form and holds the job clock, the profit panel, Customer Billing, Payment, POD Challan and Booking Files. This page covers Customer Billing, the part that decides what the customer is charged.

Customer Billing is a Billing Type, a freight figure and any Adjustment lines. Adjustments are the extra charges and deductions your company agreed in Settings › Adjustments: toll, halting, unloading, commission, extra hours, extra kms, parking and so on, each marked Income or Expense. The result is Total Amount excl. tax; tax is applied later on the invoice.

Before You Start

  • The booking is saved with its paying customer.
  • The adjustments you bill or deduct exist in Settings › Adjustments with the right Adjustment Type (Income or Expense) and are active.

Steps

  1. Open the booking from Bookings and click Add Amounts.
  2. Under Customer Billing, choose the Billing Type. Fixed Freight is the usual choice: one agreed amount for the trip. Other billing types may be offered where available, for example per-unit billing.
  3. Enter the freight amount.
  4. Add an Adjustment line for each extra charge or deduction. Pick the adjustment name from the list and enter the amount. Income adjustments add to the total; Expense adjustments reduce it.
  5. Check Total Amount excl. tax. This is the figure the customer invoice will carry as Amount (Excluding Tax) for the booking.
  6. Attach the POD Challan and any Booking Files if you have them now.
  7. Save. The profit panel’s Revenue updates to the new total.

What This Changes

  • The dashboard Total Bookings amount and the booking’s row on the list reflect the total.
  • When the booking is added to a Customer Invoice, its line amount is this total; tax from the invoice’s Tax Rate is added there.
  • Revenue in the profit panel equals the total, so Profit moves as you add or remove adjustments.
  • The printed LR shows the billing type, freight, adjustments and the total in figures and in Amount In Words.
  • The Vehicle Profit/Loss report’s Total Revenue includes the booking at this value.

Tips

  • Add the adjustment names your customers expect to see on an invoice; the line prints with the name you gave it in Settings.
  • A deduction agreed with the customer, such as a shortage, is an Expense-type adjustment on the booking, not a separate credit note.
  • Costs you pay out, such as the driver’s toll cash, are not adjustments. They go in Books › Expenses related to the booking and show under Expenses in the profit panel.
