For School administrators, Accountants, Staff. Updated 2026-08-08.
Overview
Bookstore manages saleable school items and their sales history. Create product categories, add products with pricing and stock, then record sales; sales marked Paid automatically post an income entry to the finance ledger.
Stock intake, corrections, returns, and damage are tracked separately on the Stock Updates page, and sales can be filtered, exported to PDF, and charted on the Sales Report page (see the separate Bookstore Stock Updates and Bookstore Sales Report articles).
