What the Sales button shows in Bizwazi

The Sales button opens the page where you record income and review money received by the business. It is one of the most important daily pages in Bizwazi because sales affect your profit, account balances, daily reports, and end-of-day cash-up.

What you can do on the Sales page

• Record a new sale using the Add Sale button.
• Record a quick manual sale when you already know the total amount received.
• Record a stock-linked sale when you want Bizwazi to calculate the sale from inventory items and reduce stock automatically.
• Review sales for today, this week, month to date, year to date, or since the start of your records.
• Search sales by text, invoice details, customer details, category, account, or note.
• Filter sales by account, category, and period.
• Open invoice-linked sales by using the View invoice button.
• Edit or delete ordinary manual and stock-linked sales where allowed.

Why this page matters

• Sales are used to calculate daily profit.
• Sales increase the balance of the account they were received into, such as Cash, M-PESA, or Bank/Card.
• Sales appear in reports and trends.
• Sales help explain whether your end-of-day money should match your real cash, M-PESA, and bank/card balances.
• Stock-linked sales also affect inventory because Bizwazi reduces the selected stock quantities.

Useful tips

• Record sales as close to the real transaction time as possible.
• Choose the correct account so the Accounts page and Dashboard stay accurate.
• Use categories only when they help you understand your business better.
• Use notes for details that will help you understand the sale later.
• Use invoice payment rows carefully because they belong to the invoice workflow.
