Business modes

Thirty business modes, one set of books

A chemist thinks in batches, a builder in flats and instalments, a kirana in counter sales and the khata. Choose your trade and Falcon’s menus, words and registers change to fit it — while every amount is still posted by the same engine.

What is in it

What business modes covers

A menu for your trade

Each mode adds a section of the trade’s own registers at the top of the menu — Pharmacy, Property, Shop, Jewellery — and moves general screens the trade rarely uses out of the way. They still open if you go to them.

Your words on the screens

A builder’s customers are Buyers and its invoices Demands; a chemist’s items are Medicines; a shop’s invoices are Bills; a school’s are Fee bills.

Items that carry what your trade records

A medicine carries its salt, manufacturer, schedule and MRP; an ornament its purity and weights; a grocery item its barcode, MRP and whether it is sold loose by weight.

Screens of their own where a list is not enough

Batches and expiry for a chemist, a unit board and payment-plan demands for a builder, a counter and khata for a shop, the day’s metal rate and weight billing for a jeweller, a table board for a restaurant, trip profit for a transporter.

Suggestions, not decisions

Income types, the ledgers the trade usually keeps and GST pointers for its common supplies. Each item’s rate is still chosen on the item, from the published slabs. A mode decides what is asked and shown — never an amount.

Switching deletes nothing

Change mode in Settings → Business mode at any time. Registers that are not part of the new mode leave the menu, but every record stays and the books are untouched.

Every mode

All 30 modes, and what each adds to the menu

Read from the same catalogue the product uses, so this list cannot describe a mode the product does not have.

Checkable

What backs each claim

Where in the product, or in the repository, you can go and see it for yourself.

Thirty modes, each checked by a catalogue test: tests/unit/industry-catalogue.test.ts
A GST pointer must be a published slab: Settings → Business mode
Every register is scoped to your business and audited: src/lib/industry/records.ts

What it deliberately does not do

Pharmacy: a sale does not yet record its batch, so first-expiry-first-out is advice rather than enforced at billing.
Real estate: the 1% TDS on a property of ₹50 lakh or more and interest on late instalments are not computed.
Shops: the counter does not read weighing-scale barcodes, split one bill across two payment methods, or close a shift.
Jewellery: finalising a bill does not post the old-gold purchase or a scheme advance as entries of their own.
Restaurants: a table’s bill carries one line per kitchen ticket. The e-commerce mode has registers but no desk of its own.
