Managing Contacts

Contacts in MyBooks are categorized as Customers (who buy from you) or Vendors (whom you buy from). Some contacts can be both.

Adding a New Contact

  1. Go to Master Data > Contacts.
  2. Click the Add Contact button.
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Display Name: The name shown in the app.
    • Company Name: Official business name.
    • Contact Type: Select Customer, Vendor, or Both.
    • Email and Phone: For communication and sending invoices.
    • GST Treatment: Choose from Registered, Unregistered, Composite, etc.
    • GSTIN: Required if the contact is GST-registered.
  4. Switch to the Address tab to add Billing and Shipping addresses.

Organizing Contacts with Groups

You can group contacts for easier filtering and reporting:

  1. In the Contact form, look for the Contact Group field.
  2. Select an existing group or create a new one (e.g., "Wholesale", "Retail", "Priority Vendors").

Transaction History

When you view a contact's details, you can see their full transaction history, including:

  • Unpaid invoices (for Customers) or bills (for Vendors).
  • Total balance outstanding.
  • Recent payments and journals.
