💳 Chapter 5 — Payments

Track every payment. Chase nothing.

Record received and paid amounts, link them to invoices, settle one payment across multiple bills, and keep your Cash & Bank balances perfectly clean.

Payments and invoice tracking with filters
Filter every payment by date, party or method.

Record a new payment

Open Payments from the More menu, tap +. You can record:

  • Payment received — money coming in from a customer
  • Payment made — money going out to a supplier

Choose direction (received / made)

This decides how it impacts your account balance.

Pick the party

The same party list as your cashbook and invoices.

Type the amount

Calculator is built-in.

Choose payment method & account

Cash, UPI, Bank Transfer, Card or Cheque — and which Cash/Bank account it goes through.

Add reference & notes

UTR number, cheque number — anything that helps reconciliation.

Voice entry — talk to fill the form v3

Tap the microphone in the Add Payment app bar and just speak. The app parses your sentence and fills the right fields.

  • Try: "Anas paid 100 rupees" · "Sent 250 to Mehul on UPI" · "Received 500 cash from Ravi"
  • Hindi: "अनस ने 100 रुपए दिए" · Gujarati: "મેહુલને 250 UPI થી મોકલ્યા" · Urdu: "انس نے 100 روپے دیے"
  • Auto-fills amount, payment method (Cash / UPI / Bank Transfer / Card / Cheque) and tries to match a party by name
  • If the spoken name doesn't match an existing party, the app shows a hint so you can pick or create one
  • Listens for up to 20 seconds with one quiet auto-retry on silence; falls back to English if your selected language returns nothing
  • Free, on-device when supported by your phone — no API keys, no account
Why it matters. Two-handed jobs (handing change, packing items, on a delivery bike) become one-tap-one-sentence — no scrolling through forms.

Misc / Counter cash payments v3

For cash drawer top-ups, anonymous receipts, or any standalone payment without a party, tick Misc / Counter cash on the Add Payment screen. The party picker disappears and the payment saves with no party link.

  • Misc payments still hit your Cash / Bank account balance and the cashbook
  • They never appear in any party ledger (because they have no party)
  • They show up under Reports → Walk-in & Misc for the audit trail
  • The dashboard shows a small Unassigned payments tile when any exist
  • You can still link a misc payment to an invoice later — see below

You don't have to link a payment immediately — you can record it as a standalone advance, and link it to an invoice later.

  • Open the payment → tap Link to invoice
  • Pick one or more unpaid / partially paid invoices for the same party
  • Allocate full or partial amount per invoice
  • Walk-in payment? v3 The settlement screen lists walk-in invoices first; flip the Show all parties switch to settle a counter-cash deposit against any party's outstanding invoice.

Settlement scenarios — both directions supported

↔️

One payment → many invoices

A single ₹50,000 received settles three invoices of ₹15k, ₹15k, ₹20k.

📊

One invoice ← many payments

One ₹1L invoice settled with three weekly part-payments.

🔗

Standalone advance

Record now, link to a future invoice.

🧮

Mixed allocations

Allocate exact rupee amounts per invoice — no rounding surprises.

Cash & Bank accounts

Open Settings → Payment Accounts to manage your money sources:

  • Cash account — there's always one default, you can rename it
  • Bank accounts — add as many as you need (HDFC, SBI, ICICI…)
  • Each account shows a live running balance based on every linked entry

Primary account & auto-pick

Mark one account as primary — new payments and entries default to it. You can override per entry.

v2.0: Payment Accounts is a brand new feature in v2. If you upgraded from v1, all your past payments are auto-migrated to the default Cash account.

Unlink & unsettle

If a settlement was wrong, you can:

  • Unlink one settlement — keeps the payment, removes its link to one invoice
  • Unsettle all — releases the payment back to standalone, frees the invoices

Account-wise reports

Open Reports → Account Report to see:

  • Inflows / outflows for any account, any date range
  • Per-method breakdown (UPI vs Cash vs Cheque)
  • Per-party breakdown
  • Export as PDF or Excel
