Welcome to the Order Calculator! This guide will help you understand all the functions of this easy-to-use application.
1. Start with the "Locked" View
When you first open the app, it's in a **"locked"** state. This is for your protection, to prevent accidental changes to the product details.
What you can do: You can only enter the number of **strips** or **boxes** you need for a product.
What you can't do: You cannot change product names, PTS values, or any other details.
2. Placing an Order
To calculate your order, you only need to use the two main input fields:
Unit(strip): Type the number of strips you want to order.
Unit(box): Type the number of boxes you want to order.
Important: You should only fill in **one** of these fields per product. The app will automatically calculate the other values for you.
3. Understanding the Calculations
As you type your order, the app instantly updates these columns:
Box Value: The total value of your order in boxes.
Strip Value: The total value of your order in strips.
Net Bill Amount: The final cost of the product, including tax.
4. Unlocking and Editing
If you need to change any of the product information or the tax rate, you must first unlock the application.
Click the small, **round red button** with a reload icon in the top right corner.
A pop-up message will tell you that the fields are now unlocked.
You can now edit any of the fields, including product names, PTS values, box packs, and the **Tax Percentage**.
A **delete button (✕)** will also appear next to each product.
5. Adding and Deleting Products
Add Product: Once the app is unlocked, click the **"Add Product"** button. A new, empty row will be added for you to fill in.
Delete Product: When the app is unlocked, click the **"✕"** button next to a product to remove it.
6. Saving Your Work
After you have made your changes (adding, deleting, or editing products), you should save them:
Click the blue **"Save Changes"** button.
The app will automatically lock itself again to protect your data.
Your data is saved directly on your device, so it will be there the next time you use the app.
7. Summary and Charts
The bottom section of the app provides a helpful summary:
Total Order Value: The total cost of all the products you've ordered, including tax.
Total Order Value (Without Tax): The total cost before any tax is applied.
Total Order Value (in Lakhs): The total order value converted to lakhs (1 Lakh = 100,000).
Relative Net Bill Amount Chart: This pie chart shows you a visual breakdown of your total order, so you can easily see which products are the most valuable.
8. Selecting Currency
Use the dropdown menu at the top to change the currency.
The total values in the summary will instantly convert to your selected currency.
This app is designed to work perfectly on both computers and mobile phones! The layout will change automatically to fit your screen.
