OverviewOverview
Charges are the extra lines on an invoice beyond the goods — freight, packing, discount, round-off. Each charge knows how it's calculated and which account it posts to. A Charge Set bundles several charges so you can add them in one click.
Charges invoice par goods ke alawa aane wali extra lines hain — freight, packing, discount, round-off. Har charge jaanta hai ki wo kaise calculate hota hai aur kis account par post hota hai. Ek Charge Set kai charges ko bundle karta hai taaki aap unhe ek click mein add kar sakein.
Why it mattersयह क्यों ज़रूरी है
Capture every cost on the bill correctly, with the right GST treatment — no missed freight or packing.Bill par har cost sahi tareeke se, sahi GST treatment ke saath capture karein — koi freight ya packing chhoote na.
In detail
Charges are defined on the charges screen (List tab → Product → Charges); several can be bundled into a Charge Set and applied on a voucher in one click (Ctrl+H).
Step by step
Open it — List tab → Product → Charges, then Add.
Name the charge (e.g. ‘Freight’), set its Nature, Type, On and default value.
Pick the posting Ledger and set Before GST correctly — this decides whether tax applies to the charge.
Optionally bundle charges into a Charge Set so billing staff apply them all with Ctrl+H.
Key points
Nature — how it's calculated: Absolute Amount / Per Quantity / Per Weight / Percentage.
Type — Additive (adds to the bill, e.g. freight) or Subtractive (reduces it, e.g. discount).
On — what a percentage applies to: the items' basic amount, the running amount, or previous charge lines.
Ledger — the account the charge posts to, and Before GST (Yes/No) — whether GST is calculated on top of it.
RoundOff — No Rounding, or round off / up / down to 1, 5 or 10.
Example
Freight with GST. Freight ₹500 on a bill, and GST must apply to it: Nature = Absolute Amount, Type = Additive, Ledger = Freight Charges, Before GST = Yes. The bill adds ₹500 and taxes it; the ₹500 lands in the Freight Charges ledger.
Watch out
Before GST vs after GST changes the tax — it's the most common cause of an invoice-total dispute. If a customer's total differs by exactly the tax on a charge, check this flag.
In detail

Type — Additive (bill mein jodta hai, jaise freight) ya Subtractive (ghatata hai, jaise discount).
On — percentage kis par lagta hai: items ka basic amount, running amount, ya pichhli charge lines.
Ledger — wo account jis par charge post hota hai, aur Before GST (Yes/No) — uske upar GST calculate hoga ya nahi.
RoundOff — No Rounding, ya 1, 5 ya 10 par round off / up / down.
Example
GST ke saath freight. Bill par freight ₹500, aur uspar GST lagna chahiye: Nature = Absolute Amount, Type = Additive, Ledger = Freight Charges, Before GST = Yes. Bill ₹500 jodta hai aur uspar tax lagata hai; ₹500 Freight Charges ledger mein jaata hai.
Watch out
Before GST vs after GST tax badal deta hai — invoice-total dispute ka sabse common kaaran yahi hai. Agar customer ka total theek kisi charge ke tax jitna alag hai, to ye flag check karein.
