Metal and purity

View as Markdown

Every item you sell is made of a metal, and most have a purity. For example, a Tamil Nadu shop sells 22K (916) gold jewellery, 18K gold for diamond pieces, and silver articles like anklets (kolusu) and pooja items.

Menu: Stock → Inventory → Metal

EasyJewel already has Gold and Silver ready. Most shops only need to add their purities.
