If you run an Indian pharmacy distributor, you already know generic accounting software doesn't fit. Your invoices need HSN codes on every line. MRP must print alongside Rate. Schedule H/H1/X drugs need a prescription warning at the counter. Customers expect their negotiated rate every single time. This is what Naqix ERP shipped in May 2026 — a complete India pharma wholesale module, built for Marg-style billing without the Marg-style price.
See it in action — the last-price chip
Below is a live mockup of what your salesperson sees the moment they pick a customer + a product they've sold before. Click the toggle to see how the chip switches between "all good" and "typo warning":
When the keyed price drifts more than 10% from what this customer paid last time, the chip glows amber — catching typos before the bill goes out. Click Apply and Rate + Tax % + Discount jump back to the historical values in one keystroke.
What Indian pharma wholesalers actually need
Walk into any wholesale chemist on a busy morning in Kochi, Hyderabad or Indore and you'll see the same friction:
Most generic ERPs hide 3-4 of these behind costly add-ons. The Marg / Cipla-style desktop systems do all of it — but you're locked to one PC, no mobile, no cloud, and ₹50k+ a year per branch. Naqix bundles the full set in the base subscription.
1. Schedule H warning — stop a fine before it happens
Whenever a Schedule H, H1, X or NRx drug enters the cart, Naqix surfaces an amber banner above the items table. Soft warning — not a hard block — because pharmacists know their stock and their customers.
- Schedule H Tramadol 50mg · strip × 10
- Schedule X Diazepam 5mg · strip × 10
Auditors and inspectors look for this pattern. Naqix also logs every Schedule H/X sale to the activity audit trail — timestamp, salesperson, customer, drug. Run the "Scheduled drug log" report any time the drug inspector visits.
2. HSN, MRP, Pack, Manufacturer — set once, used forever
Every product master in Naqix now collects the fields a pharma wholesaler needs. Set them once on the Add Product form, see them on every invoice, every quotation, every PO.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| HSN code | GSTN classification printed on every line of the tax invoice. Mandatory ≥ ₹5cr turnover. |
| MRP | Maximum Retail Price. Prints alongside Rate. Legal requirement. |
| Pack | Strip / box / bottle size — "10×10", "100ml", "1 NOS". |
| Manufacturer | Maker name — shown in the MFR column on wholesale bills. |
| Drug Schedule | G / H / H1 / X / NRX — drives the prescription-required warning. |
| Composition / Salt | Generic name compliance ("Paracetamol 500mg + Caffeine 30mg"). |
| Storage instructions | Cold chain, light-proof, humidity — for retail labels. |
| Min Order Quantity | B2B reorder floor — blocks sales below the threshold. |
| Case Size | Units per outer carton — rounds PO quantities up to the nearest case. |
3. The Marg-style wholesale invoice — generated from your data
India pharma wholesalers know the Marg ERP layout by heart: tear-off remittance stub on the right, HSN + Batch + Expiry + MRP + Rate columns across the items, pending bills aging panel above totals, GST breakdown by rate, GRAND TOTAL with previous-balance and total-payable-including-arrears.
Naqix's india-pharmacy-wholesale template generates exactly this layout — A4 landscape, all columns, automatic IGST vs SGST+CGST switch based on inter-state detection, customer D.L.NO under GSTIN in the BILL TO block.
4. Previous balance + Total Payable on every bill
Pharma wholesalers run on credit. A typical distributor has 30-60 days outstanding with every hospital and chemist. The wholesale invoice now prints, immediately below GRAND TOTAL:
| Line | What it shows |
|---|---|
| GRAND TOTAL | Only this bill — what's new today |
| PREVIOUS BALANCE | Total of all unpaid invoices for this customer (red) |
| TOTAL PAYABLE (INC. ARREARS) | What the customer actually owes — bold, thick border |
Plus the right-margin remittance stub lists each pending invoice with date, amount and days outstanding. Customers can't claim "I didn't know I had old bills" any more.

Does Naqix support D.L.NO on customer contacts?
Yes. India tenants see a "Drug License No." field on the Quick-Add Customer modal and full contact form. The value prints on wholesale invoices under the GSTIN row in the BILL TO block, exactly where the Schedule H/X regulator expects to find it.
What about Schedule H1 record-keeping?
Beyond the cart warning, every sale of a Schedule H1 drug is logged in the activity audit trail with timestamp, salesperson, customer ID and drug name. Drug inspector ready.
Can I import my Marg / Tally data?
Master data — products, customers, suppliers, opening balances — can be imported via CSV. Historical sales / purchase line-item history is supported with a one-time mapping script. Contact support during your trial.
Does this work for retail chemists too, not just wholesalers?
Yes. Retail pharma uses the same product master but prints on a half-A4 (A5) counter receipt instead of the landscape Marg layout. The Schedule H warning still fires at the cash counter.
Multi-branch / multi-godown?
Built in. Stock, sales and purchases are scoped per branch. The top-bar branch picker controls what stock you see on the Add Sale form. Inter-branch transfers move stock between godowns without touching financial books.
What if my company also sells outside India (export)?
Naqix supports India + GCC + Africa simultaneously on the same tenant. Export invoices use IGST = 0% (zero-rated) automatically when the customer's country differs from the company's. The pharma columns still print so customs has what it needs.
