How to add a manual sale
Learn how to record a simple sale by entering the total amount yourself.
A manual sale is the quickest way to record income when you already know the total amount received. It is useful for service income, simple shop sales, transport payments, casual work, or any sale where you do not need Bizwazi to calculate stock items.
Steps
- Open Sales from the bottom navigation.
- Tap Add Sale.
- Choose Manual sale.
- Enter the Amount in KSh.
- Choose where the money was received: Cash, M-PESA, or Bank.
- Choose a category if useful, or choose No category.
- Add a note if you want to explain the sale.
- Change the time if the sale happened earlier and should be recorded at a different time.
- Tap Save sale.
What a manual sale affects
- It increases your sales total.
- It increases the selected account balance.
- It affects today, week, month, year, and report totals.
- It affects profit because sales are income.
- It does not reduce inventory stock automatically.
Useful tips
- Use manual sale when stock does not need to be reduced.
- Use a clear note if the sale may be questioned later.
- Choose the correct account carefully because this affects account balances and discrepancy checks.
