What you set up

Travel & Tourism businesses run on the Starter plan, which turns on 13 modules:

Turn any of these off if you don't need them - see setting Finocket up for your trade for the two decisions worth getting right on day one.

What you'll do day to day

Supplier bills and receipts, tagged to the trip

Signed in as the owner, open /projects. Open a TRIP- project, then tag each hotel, airline and DMC bill and each receipt to it as you record it.

TCS on the receipt

Signed in as the owner, open /invoices. Open a paid Dubai or Europe package: the receipt carries the TCS the customer paid, recorded when the money came in.

Tour-operator GST, the way GSTR-1 wants it

Signed in as the accountant, open /gst/returns. Package lines sit next to ticketing and visa service-fee lines in the same return, each at the rate set on the item.

The bank and the books agree

Signed in as the accountant, open /banking/reconcile. The imported bank statement matched line by line to guest receipts and supplier payments.

Hand the season to the CA

Signed in as the owner, open /reports/hand-to-ca. One pack for the CA: trial balance, GST, TDS/TCS and the Tally export.

A Bengaluru tour operator that keeps every trip's bills and receipts together

Before: Trips tracked in spreadsheets, TCS on overseas packages worked out by hand at filing time, and margin known only when the season was over.

With Finocket: Every trip is a project that collects its own revenue and supplier bills; TCS is recorded on the receipt; package and service-fee lines sit on one invoice, each at the rate you set.

(Sample business: Yatra Sethu Holidays, a demo travel & tourism workspace in Bengaluru, Karnataka - not a real customer.)
