Glammed a client face 10k sale
Selling on credit? BOS automatically adds it to that customer's debt list too. See Debts & Credit below.

Recording Expenses

Track what leaves the business exactly the same way, just say what you spent.

Repaired TV socket 8k expense

Correcting Transactions

Everyone mistypes an amount sometimes. Tell BOS what needs fixing and when it happened. It finds the entry and corrects it, whether that was seconds or days ago.

Just made the mistake?
Cancel that
From a few days ago?
Fix yesterday's rice sale to 40k
Fix 3 days ago Chanel bag expense to 32k
Fix Wednesday's Microwave sale to 50k

BOS keeps a running debtors list at all times, and can remind you to follow up. See Reminders below.
