Android App Guide

1. 1
   Install the PMJ Jewels APK provided by your store admin (the app is distributed internally, not via the Play Store). It runs on Android 8.0 or newer.
2. 2
   On first launch you will see a one-time permissions screen explaining what the app needs: Bluetooth / Nearby devices (for Bluetooth thermal printers; on older Android versions this includes Location, which Android requires for Bluetooth scanning) and network access (for the catalogue and Wi-Fi printers). Grant them and continue.
3. 3
   The app opens the login screen. You will not see this permissions screen again.

1. 1
   On the login screen, first pick your region with the India / US selector. This chooses which regional backend (and which currency — ₹ INR or $ USD) the app talks to; the sign-in button stays disabled until a region is picked.
2. 2
   Enter your Employee ID and password — the same credentials you use on the web dashboard.
3. 3
   Optionally enable Remember me so your Employee ID is pre-filled next time.
4. 4
   Sign in. Your region choice is remembered until you sign out (signing out resets it to India).

After login you land on the home dashboard:

1. 1
   Open the Catalogue. Products load in a grid with infinite scroll — keep swiping and the next page loads automatically.
2. 2
   Search by typing (or pasting) a product code / barcode number or part of the title into the search box. In-store, the fastest flow is reading the code off the tag and typing it — the piece appears instantly.
3. 3
   Filter with the filter panel: Classification, Category, Product Type, Sub Category, Location, Collection, plus Price range, Net-weight range and Diamond-weight range. Each dropdown is searchable.
4. 4
   Long-press to multi-select products and open a side-by-side Compare view.
5. 5
   Use the navigation drawer to switch to the Best Seller catalogue (with its own filters and estimates) or the Social Media collection (browse-and-show, with full stone details).

The Customers screen has two tabs: Recent (customers checked in under you) and All (global search by name or phone). Open a customer to see their profile and estimate activity, or use quick create to register a walk-in with just a name and phone number.

1. 1
   Open a product and tap ESTIMATE. The dialog fetches the piece’s estimate data and today’s live metal rate for its purity.
2. 2
   Review the breakdown: date, sales person (you), product and code, purity, metal rate; then Gold (net weight × rate), Making, Wastage / “Vad”, Diamonds and Stones (per-line, from the stone table), subtotal, taxes and the final amount.
3. 3
   Taxes follow the region’s currency: INR adds 3% GST (TCS shown at 0%); USD adds import/customs duty first, then sales tax on the duty-inclusive amount.
4. 4
   To negotiate, tap Edit: change the making rate (per gram), the wastage %, or any stone or diamond’s per-carat rate. Totals recompute live as you type. Lowering these rates is how discounts are given — there is no separate discount field.
5. 5
   Check the notes at the bottom of the estimate: the slip is valid today only, gross weight is stated, and Indian estimates carry the PAN-card note for purchases above ₹2 lakh.
6. 6
   Finish with Print (section 7) or Share (section 8) — either way the estimate is saved to your history.

1. 1
   Tap Print on the estimate, then choose With rate (shows the rate column on the slip) or Without rate (amounts only — the usual choice for handing to a customer).
2. 2
   The app connects to your default printer automatically (reconnecting if needed) and prints the slip: “Estimate Only” header, date and sales person, product with karat and barcode, the item table (Gold Wt, Making, Vad, Dia Cts, Cls Cts), tax lines, TOTAL, the per-stone detail table and the numbered notes.
3. 3
   When printing completes, the estimate is marked printed in your history.

Under the hood the app supports four printer backends, so it works with practically any receipt printer in the store:

1. 1
   Tap Share on the estimate. The app sends your estimate — including any edited making / wastage / stone rates — to the server, which renders two PDF versions and returns their links.
2. 2
   In the share dialog choose With rate or Without rate.
3. 3
   The chosen PDF link opens in WhatsApp ready to send to the customer (if WhatsApp is not installed, the standard Android share sheet appears instead).
4. 4
   The estimate is marked shared in your history.

1. 1
   Open History from the dashboard. Estimates are grouped into Today, This Week and All, each row showing product, amount, and printed / shared status.
2. 2
   Tap an estimate for the full detail sheet, then Reprint — the slip reprints exactly as it was issued, with the original rates and totals, no recalculation at today’s rates.
3. 3
   Or tap Share to send a text summary of the estimate via WhatsApp.

Open Printer Settings from the dashboard to manage your printing setup:
