Bahon Boi user guide
Step-by-step help for every feature in the current version, using the app’s own screen and button names. Example figures are for illustration only.
The same guide is built into the app: Menu (☰) → App guide. It works offline.
Getting started
Vehicles and people
- Vehicles, owners and photosEach vehicle has its own book: income, expenses, documents, drivers and owners. Owners are records only — they do not get their own login.
- Drivers and assignmentsKeep each driver’s details, ID numbers, emergency contact and photos in one place, and record which vehicle they drive, on which shift and from when.
Money
- Adding incomeIncome is what a vehicle earned for a day or a period — whether or not you have been paid yet. Payment is recorded separately as money received.
- Money received, dues and advancesRecord money on the day it actually reaches you, and link it to the income it pays for. Money received is never added as extra income.
- Expenses, bills and paymentsRecord costs such as fuel, repairs, servicing, driver salary and document renewal — even if you pay later. Say who bears the cost and who paid the shop.
- Driver-paid repairs and rent waiversTwo non-cash tools: “Adjust against rent” deducts an owner’s cost that the driver paid from that driver’s unpaid rent, and “Reduce / waive rent” records a concession agreed later.
- Profit, cash movement and “as of” balancesProfit and cash answer different questions, so the app keeps them apart and nothing is counted twice.
Reports and documents
- Reports, charts and transaction listsSee profit, cash and balances for any day, month or date range — for one vehicle or all — and open the entries behind every number.
- Vehicle documents and expiry alertsKeep registration, fitness, tax token, route permit, insurance, driving licence and other papers with their dates and photos, and see in the app when they are about to expire.
Keeping your data safe
Not available in this version
So you know what not to look for:
- Phone notifications for document expiry (alerts are shown inside the app only).
- Cloud sync or online backup. Google Sheets & Drive sync is inactive; backups stay in a folder you choose.
- Reading text from ID card photos (scanning).
- Checking NID or licence numbers against government records.
- PDF attachments (photos only).
- Splitting profit between owners by their shares.
- An opening cash balance, so “cash in hand” is not shown.
- More than one income entry for the same vehicle on the same day.
- Exporting or sharing reports, and folder backups on iPhone.
