Frequently asked questions

Why can I not see the copy or stock registration options?

When there are unsaved changes, Billnado only shows Cancel and Save. Save or cancel the changes first. Manually record stock is also unavailable for an archived product.

Why can I not save the rental period?

An entered maximum rental period cannot be shorter than the minimum. Adjust one of the values.

Why does a removed purchase price return after reloading?

Removing it first changes only the form. Select Save to make the removal permanent.
