How to Bill/Sell a Product

In Zylu, products can be added to a bill directly from the billing screen using the + Product button. These products are linked to your inventory, and only items with available stock can be billed.

This article will guide you through the product billing flow, stock updates, employee selection, and best practices for handling product sales.

How to add a product to the bill

The product selection popup displays product names, stock availability, and prices. "Add Stock" appears beside out-of-stock items. Filters like "Hair," "Skin," and "Hair Care" are available at the top.

1. Click on + Product in the billing screen
2. A popup will open showing all available products in your store
   You can:
1. Search by product name, price, or product code
   
2. Filter by category like Hair, Skin, or Other
   
3. Tick the checkbox next to the products you want to add
   
4. Click Apply to add the selected items to the bill
   
3. If the product is out of stock, the Add Stock button will appear next to it. You must update stock before you can bill it.
   

Handling out-of-stock items

If a product shows Add Stock, it means there is no stock available.

To update stock:

1. Click on Add Stock.
   

   Click on Add Stock to update the stock before selling.
2. You’ll be redirected to Manage → Inventory Receipts.
3. Add the stock details and submit the inventory receipt.
   

   Fill the required information to update the product stock (e.g. Vendor name, invoice number, Purchanse Date))
4. Once stock is updated, you can return to the billing screen and add the product.
   

You can always update product stock from:

Manage → Inventory → Inventory Receipts

Assign the Staff Who Sold the Product

For each product, assign the employee who sold it by selecting their name from the dropdown.

Each product in the bill must be linked to a staff member who sold it.

• In the product row, click the Employee dropdown.

• Select the appropriate staff member.

This ensures proper sales tracking, commission, and performance reporting.

Note: Unlike services, products do not require time duration to be entered.

Apply Discount or Change Price 

Update the prices and discount if required for products.

• You can edit the price by clicking directly on the price field.
  

• You can apply a flat discount or percentage discount in the discount field.
  

• Discounts and taxes will auto-adjust the final total.
  

Understand Product Tax and Sale Configuration

Product tax is calculated based on your store settings:

• For India: Default is GST 18%

• For other regions: Default is VAT 5%

If your store is set to tax-inclusive, the shown price already includes tax.
If your store is tax-exclusive, the tax is visible beside the product price.

To show products in billing:

• Products must be marked For Sale in:
  Manage → Inventory → Products

You can also configure whether a product is for sale or for consumption.

Things to Remember

1. You cannot bill a product if the stock is zero.
2. Always assign a staff member for every product sold.
3. You can sell multiple quantities of a product by updating the Quantity field in the bill.
4. Product stock limits vary based on your plan.
