Making a bill in BitMed is quick and simple. If you use the keyboard shortcuts, you can finish a complete 5-item bill in under 30 seconds!
Step 1: Start a New Bill
Press F2 on your keyboard. This clears the screen and opens a clean, new bill ready for your next customer.
In the picture above, 1 is the empty cart and 2 is the bill total, back at ₹0.00 — that is how you know the previous customer's bill is gone.
Step 2: Search for the Medicine
Press F1 to bring focus to the search bar, then start typing the medicine name.
Matching medicines will appear instantly as you type. (If you have a barcode scanner, simply scan the product barcode directly—you don't even need to click anything!)
In the picture above, 1 is what you typed and 2 is a match. Each match shows its schedule, MRP and how much stock you have.
Step 3: Select the Medicine
Use the Up and Down arrow keys on your keyboard to highlight the medicine you want, then press Enter.
BitMed automatically selects the batch with the nearest expiry date (FEFO — First Expiry, First Out). This ensures your medicines are sold in order and nothing expires on the shelf.
Step 4: Enter the Quantity
Type the quantity the customer wants to buy (for example, 1 strip or 10 tablets), and press Enter. The total line price will calculate automatically.
In the picture above, 1 is the quantity box for the selected line and 2 is the line amount, which recalculates the moment you change the quantity.
To add more items to the same bill, simply repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4!
In the picture above, 1 is the list of items on the bill and 2 is the running total, with CGST and SGST broken out and the round-off applied.
Step 5: Take the Cash Payment
Press F7 to open the Payment window. Type the amount of cash given by the customer (for example, 500).
BitMed will immediately show you the exact change amount to return to the customer.
In the picture above, 1 is the Cash tab, 2 is the amount the customer handed over, 3 is the change to give back, and 4 is the button that finishes the sale in the next step.
Step 6: Save and Print the Receipt
Press F10 (or press Enter) to finalize the bill and print the receipt.
In the picture above, 1 is the total and what was paid, and 2 is Print if you need another copy.
Hand the printed receipt and change to the customer, press F2, and you are ready for the next customer!

I pressed Enter by mistake and saved the bill! Once a bill is saved, it cannot be edited directly. You can either void the bill or issue a product return.
