Built for Medical & Pharmacy
Pharmacies need Schedule H/H1 discipline, batch traceability, and inspection-ready records—not generic retail billing. ExcelBills tracks drug batches, Rx-linked sales patterns, and GST on medicines while keeping inventory aligned with wholesale purchases.
Pharmacy operators face scrutiny on batch traceability, wholesaler documentation, and GST on medicines—not generic retail templates. ExcelBills medical store workflows connect wholesaler GRN, batch-mandatory POS, hospital B2B e-invoice, and inspection-friendly sale registers. Owners gain margin visibility by batch and reduce expiry write-offs before capital is trapped on near-date stock.
Operator guide
Pharmacy profitability hides in batch discipline and purchase matching—not only walk-in ticket size. Near-expiry stock is frozen capital; FEFO billing and proactive return to wholesaler recover cash. Inspection readiness means sale line links to batch and inward reference without digging paper folders. Hospital B2B supply needs credit ageing separate from walk-in cash; mixed reporting confuses collections. Wholesaler bill ITC must post when entered—not at filing panic. Partial strip sales need POS that supports pharmacy pack breakdown without breaking GST line integrity. Branch chains sync HQ purchase while billing locally with same batch rules. Schedule quarterly batch audit with pharmacist lead. Reconcile wholesaler statements against GRN monthly. Document SOPs for billing, GRN, and EOD reconciliation in local language where helpful. Review industry KPIs monthly with team leads—not only at tax filing. Use ExcelBills demo and pilot branch before network-wide mandate. Link industry workflows to feature pages for GST, inventory, POS, and procurement training paths.

Challenges we solve
Near-expiry inventory blocking capital
Expiry dashboards and FEFO billing prompts at the counter.
Wholesaler credit and purchase reconciliation
Vendor bills, GRN, and payables with inward GST visibility.
Typical workflows
- Wholesaler GRN with batch labels → shelf stock → Rx walk-in billing with GST invoice.
- Branch pharmacy POS synced to HQ warehouse for chain operations.
- Accountant export of purchase and sales registers for filing and audits.
Operational workflows
Billing workflow
Walk-in Rx customer → search salt/brand → select batch with expiry visible → partial strip or bottle billing → GST invoice with HSN on formulations → payment and print. B2B hospital supply uses credit invoice with e-invoice when turnover requires IRN. Returns validate against original batch line.
Inventory workflow
Wholesaler GRN with batch labels → shelf allocation by category → FEFO prompts at billing → near-expiry dashboard for returns to wholesaler → controlled SKU audit trail on sale lines. Branch pharmacies sync HQ warehouse for chain operations.
GST workflow
Outward GST on medicines with correct HSN; inward ITC from wholesaler bills matched in procurement. GSTR-1 includes B2B institution lines separately from walk-in B2C. Credit notes on batch returns adjust liability with batch reference for inspections.
Purchase workflow
PO to authorized wholesaler → GRN with batch mandatory → three-way match to tax invoice → payables on wholesaler credit terms → ITC available in compliance view for CA. Purchase returns use debit note with stock reversal.
Reporting workflow
Margin by batch and manufacturer; expiry exposure in rupees; restricted-item sale register for license compliance; receivables from hospital accounts; daily counter sales vs purchase for owner review.
