Lesson 19 · People and money

Party Accounts

For: Owner, accountant, munshi

For anyone who is not a worker or customer: the mistri who built the kiln, a tractor owner, coal and soil suppliers, diesel.

  1. Khata › Party Accounts, then Add New Entry.
  2. Type the name (earlier names appear as you type), choose the type and check Jama (owed to them) or Naam (paid to them).
  3. Types: Work Bill and Rent / Service are Jama; Payment Made and Advance Given are Naam.
  4. Type the amount, mode of payment and a note. Tap + Add.

All Entries shows each party’s running balance; Generate Report gives one party or everyone for a date range, with Export PDF.

Automatic: Every purchase (lesson 21) posts to its supplier as Jama by itself. Record what you pay them as Payment Made, and the balance shows what is still owed.

Example — Kashif Mistri: each bill for his work is a Work Bill (Jama); every payment to him is Payment Made (Naam). His balance is what the kiln still owes him.
