While billing, you can add items to the invoice in three ways:
  • Search by product/service name, SKU, or category.
  • Scan a barcode using your phone camera, a connected desktop webcam, or a hardware barcode scanner — see Barcode scanning.
  • Browse your product/service list grouped by category.
Each line item shows quantity, unit price, unit of measure, and any per-item discount. Tap a line to edit its quantity, price, or discount, or to remove it from the bill.

Understanding the fields

  • Quantity — how many units of that line are being sold. For a serial-tracked product, quantity is driven by how many serials you pick rather than typed directly — see Tracking serial numbers.
  • Unit price — defaults to the product/service’s set price, but can be overridden per line for a one-off sale price.
  • Unit of measure — shown next to quantity so it’s clear whether you’re billing by piece, kg, box, etc. — see Units of measure.
  • Per-line discount — a flat or percentage reduction applied to just this line, separate from any bill-level discount. See Applying discounts & tax for how line and bill discounts combine.
If an item is low or out of stock, BillBasket flags it on the line so you know before you finish the sale.

See it on your device

Searching by product name shows a live-matching result with its current stock count on the right — checking this before you tap it tells you whether there’s enough on hand to cover the sale.
Once tapped, the item becomes a line on the bill with quantity, price, and amount columns — tap directly into any of those cells to adjust them for this sale.
