What it does
BUSY combines ledgers, vouchers and financial reports with inventory and GST accounting for Indian businesses. The range includes free BUSY Express, perpetual BUSY 21 licences and BUSY Magic subscriptions. GST and connected services depend on the edition.
A wholesaler can follow a purchase from its stock entry to the supplier account and then investigate a GST mismatch. BUSY compares purchase invoices with GSTR-2B, separates missing and mismatched entries, and filters differences by supplier, tax identification number or invoice. Reports can be exported for the accountant to review.
