  2. For instance : Ingredients Conversion :
  3. Tomato (4 kg), Onion (1 kg), and Garlic (4 kg), with a total cost of ₹300, are used to produce :
    1. Tomato Sauce (3 kg)
    2. Tomato Soup (1 kg)

    • Total Raw Material Cost: ₹300.
    • Proportional Cost Distribution is based on the weight of the products.

        • Formula: 3*300/4=225 rs
      • Tomato Soup (1 kg):
        • Formula: 1*300/4=75 rs

  2. Previously, there was no built-in restriction preventing users from marking unpaid bills as paid, which could lead to discrepancies in inventory management and financial oversight. With this update, by default, the ability to change invoice status is granted to billers (for POS) and dashboard users (for dashboard).
