Understanding the fields
BillBasket builds the dashboard from a fixed set of blocks. Which ones you see, and in what order, depends on what you’ve turned on and how you’ve arranged them (see Customizing the dashboard) — but here’s what each block shows and when it appears at all.- Getting started — a one-time banner with setup steps (add a product, record a sale, and so on). It’s meant to fade into the background once you’re up and running, but you can hide it any time.
- Today’s Sales — total value billed so far today. Resets at midnight.
- Receivables — the total your customers currently owe you across all their running credit balances.
- Payables — the total you currently owe your suppliers.
- Low Stock — a count of products that have fallen below their reorder point, so you know to restock before you run out.
- Return Stats — a quick summary of recent returns/replacements, so you can spot a pattern (like one product coming back often) early.
- Business trends — a combined chart: bars for sales and lines for
receivables/payables over time. It has its own controls:
- Daily / Monthly toggle — switches the chart between day-by-day and month-by-month bars. Switching this re-groups the same date range rather than changing which days are included.
- Date range picker — choose the start and end date the chart covers (defaults to the last 30 days). This range applies only to the trends chart, not to the KPI tiles above it, which always reflect today.
- Recent Invoices — your latest bills, so you can jump back into one without going through Reports.
- Quick Actions — shortcut buttons for common tasks (new bill, new purchase, etc.).
- Ask BillBasket (AI Assistant) — only shows up if the on-device AI Assistant feature is turned on for your install, and only on the main counter device — a phone paired to that counter as a companion device won’t see it, since it opens a settings screen only the counter machine has.
- Connect a device (QR) — a shortcut into pairing a phone with this PC. Like the AI Assistant tile, this only appears on the main counter device, not on a paired phone — see Phone and desktop together.
- Receivables list / Payables list / Low Stock list — the detailed, scrollable versions behind the Receivables/Payables/Low Stock tiles above, for when you want to see every customer or product rather than just the total or count.
- Best Sellers — your top-moving products, so you know what to keep stocked up.
Two blocks — Ask BillBasket and Connect a device — are tied to your
install’s settings and device role, not to your personal show/hide choices.
If you don’t see them, it’s because the underlying feature is off or
you’re on a paired phone, not because you hid them.

A dashboard with real activity on it: the Receivables tile shows
₹10 owed by 1 customer (Meena Devi’s invoice), Low Stock confirms
none of the store’s products have fallen below their reorder point, and
the Business trends chart shows today’s sale as a spike in the
Daily view.

1
Open BillBasket in the morning
Rajesh Sharma opens BillBasket at Sharma Kirana Store and lands on the
dashboard, which shows a summary of the shop’s current state.
2
Check the Today's Sales tile
He glances at the “Today’s Sales” tile — since the shop just opened,
it currently reads ₹0, as expected.
3
Spot a low-stock warning
The “Low Stock” tile shows Parle-G Biscuits is running low, reminding
Rajesh to reorder soon.
4
Check outstanding dues
The “Receivables” tile shows the total customers owe, including
Meena Devi’s running credit balance, giving Rajesh a quick sense of
what’s still to be collected.
5
Switch the trends chart to Monthly
Curious how the shop has done this quarter, Rajesh taps the “Monthly”
toggle on the Business Trends card and picks a wider date range to see
sales, receivables, and payables by month instead of by day.
