Questions people ask

Can purchases go through approval?+

Yes. Indents, purchase orders and work orders can be submitted for approval, with approval workflows and auto-approve rules you set up, and a history of who approved what.

How is TDS handled on vendor bills?+

TDS is worked out when the bill, purchase order or advance is booked, from the section and rate on the vendor or the line, including the no-PAN rate and section 197 certificates. The TDS register shows what was deducted and what is paid.

Can I bill only what was received?+

Yes. Raise the purchase bill from the goods receipt, and the GRN pending billing report shows what was received but not yet billed.

What about services, not goods?+

Use work orders and service bills, which carry SAC codes, GST and TDS the same way purchase bills do.

Does Drista send requests for quotation to vendors?+

Not yet. Purchase starts from an indent or directly from a purchase order.
