# Day Book

> See every transaction for a day in BillBasket — sales and cash movements together — with a Day Book, Sales Register, and Cash Book view, plus an advanced analytics mode.

The Day Book is your daily transaction register — a single place to see
everything that happened on a given day: bills raised and money received. It
answers the end-of-day question every shop owner asks: "what did we do
today, and how much cash came in?"

## Understanding the fields

* **Date** — the Day Book always shows one day at a time. Use the calendar
  button to move to any past date; the header shows that day's total sales
  and invoice count at a glance.
* **Simple / Advanced toggle** — **Simple** (the default) is the plain
  day-at-a-glance register described below. **Advanced** switches to an
  analytics view for deeper breakdowns; most shop owners stay on Simple.
* **Day Book tab** — every transaction for the day, sales and payments
  together, in one running list.
* **Sales Register tab** — just the invoices raised that day, for checking
  the day's billing on its own.
* **Cash Book tab** — just the payments/cash movements for the day, for
  tallying the drawer against what the system recorded.

The three tabs are three views of the same day — the date you pick at the
top drives all of them, so switching tabs never changes which day you're
looking at.

## Try it: Sharma Kirana Store

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Day Book at closing time">
    At the end of the day, Rajesh Sharma opens **Day Book** — today's date is
    already selected, and the header shows the day's total sales and how many
    invoices were raised.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the day's bills">
    He switches to the **Sales Register** tab to scan the list of invoices
    raised today and confirm nothing looks off.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tally the cash drawer">
    On the **Cash Book** tab, Rajesh matches the payments BillBasket recorded
    against the notes in the drawer before locking up.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Look back at an earlier day">
    To settle a query about last Tuesday, he taps the calendar button and
    picks that date — all three tabs jump to that day's transactions.
