Draft Invoices & Held Purchases
When a customer steps away to pick up more items or a supplier delivery is interrupted, you don't have to cancel your progress. EzDukkan lets you hold sales and purchase bills as drafts and resume them anytime.
- On the billing screen, click the small arrow on the primary save button.
- Select Save as Draft (or press Alt+Shift+S on desktop).
- EzDukkan saves the customer, all entered line items, quantities, and custom prices safely.
- Saving as draft does not deduct stock from your shop and does not log a sale in your revenue reports.
When the customer returns to the counter:
- Open Invoices from the main menu.
- At the top of the invoice list, click View drafts.
- You will see a list of saved unfinished bills with the customer's name, saved time, and total value.
- Click Resume on the draft you want to continue.
- The full bill opens immediately on your screen with every item, discount, and note restored. Add new items or click Save and Print to complete the sale.
When receiving stock shipments from a distributor:
- Under Purchases, click Add Purchase Bill.
- Select the supplier and add items as you unload them.
- If the delivery check is interrupted, click Hold Draft (or press Alt+H).
- The draft is saved without updating your product inventory or supplier payment dues.
- Open Purchases from the navigation bar.
- Click Saved Drafts.
- Find the held shipment and click resume.
- All items, batch numbers, expiry dates, and wholesale rates reload into the purchase bill editor.
- Once all items are verified, click Complete Order to add the stock to your inventory.
If a customer changes their mind or a draft is no longer needed:
- Open the drafts list (in View drafts or Saved Drafts).
- Click the trash icon next to the draft.
- Confirm the deletion. The draft is discarded cleanly without leaving empty records in your accounting books.
