Services work like products for billing purposes but skip stock tracking entirely — there’s nothing to count or run low on. Add one from Products → New Service and it appears in its own Services list, ready to bill by the session, hour, or job.

​
Understanding the fields

The service form is a trimmed-down version of the product form — it drops everything related to physical stock and adds nothing sold by weight or count:
  • Name — what shows on the bill, same as a product.
  • SKU — your own code for the service. Leave it blank and BillBasket auto-generates one when you save, just like on the product form. Services skip the Manufacturer and barcode/UPC fields entirely, since a service isn’t manufactured or scanned.
  • Category — groups services for reporting, same purpose as on products.
  • Unit of measure (UOM) — how the service is billed: “session,” “hour,” “job,” and so on. The dropdown only offers units scoped to services (or to both product and service) — units created for product-only use (like “kg” or “liter”) won’t clutter this list. See Units of measure.
  • Selling price and tax rate — set the same way as on a product; you can also mark the price tax-inclusive.
  • No stock, no tracking toggles, no supplier fields — the service form has no opening-stock field, no low-stock alert, no Track Serial Numbers or Track batches toggle, and no supplier section, because none of those apply to something that isn’t held in stock.

Try it: James Spa

1

Open New Service

James Fernandes runs James Spa, a pure service business — no products to stock, just treatments to bill. He opens Products → New Service to add “Swedish Massage.”
2

Enter name, price, and tax rate

He names it “Swedish Massage,” sets the price to ₹1,200, and picks the applicable tax rate. He repeats this for “Facial Treatment” at ₹800.
3

Set the unit of measure

Since a treatment is charged per session rather than by weight or count, he sets the unit of measure to “session.”
4

Bill a client

When his therapist Priya finishes a Swedish Massage for a walk-in client, James bills it directly from the service list — no stock is deducted, since it’s a service line.
