The busiest item doesn't always earn the most
₹410 a bag, but only ₹38 of it is profit.
₹60 a pack, and ₹26 of it is profit.
“Profit per item” puts every product in order, most profit first or least first. It's the quickest way to see what deserves more shelf space.
How to start
- Add what you paid
On the Profit page, tap Set cost on a product. Start with the items you sell most.
- Read profit per item
The profit shows as soon as a cost is set. Bisro tells you how many products still need one.
- Bill the items
Profit from items sold counts bills where you picked the products, not quick amount-only bills.
Good to know
- Profit shows only for products with a cost price. The rest show “Set cost”.
- It's the profit on the goods: selling price minus what you paid. Rent, wages and other expenses are not taken off. Reports and the cashbook show those.
- Khata-only credit entries and amount-only quick bills aren't in “Profit from items sold”, because they don't say which items were sold.
- Anyone who can open Bisro on your phone can see this page. Use the app lock (PIN or fingerprint) to keep your phone to yourself.
