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:

🏷
HSN on every lineMandatory for GST ≥ ₹5 cr turnover
💸
MRP alongside RateDrugs & Cosmetics Act compliance
📅
Batch + Expiry FEFOSell oldest stock first, avoid write-offs
⚠️
Schedule H / H1 / X warningPrescription required at the counter
📜
D.L.NO on billBoth seller & buyer drug licence printed
🚚
EWB above ₹50,000Auto-draft for inter-state moves
💰
Per-customer pricingHospitals ≠ retail chemists ≠ corner stores
📊
Pending bills agingPrinted on every new invoice for collections

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

Drugs & Cosmetics Rules, 1945 — built into the cart

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.

Prescription required — Scheduled drugs in cart
Verify the customer has a valid Rx before completing the sale. Drugs & Cosmetics Rules, 1945.

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.

FieldWhat it does
HSN codeGSTN classification printed on every line of the tax invoice. Mandatory ≥ ₹5cr turnover.
MRPMaximum Retail Price. Prints alongside Rate. Legal requirement.
PackStrip / box / bottle size — "10×10", "100ml", "1 NOS".
ManufacturerMaker name — shown in the MFR column on wholesale bills.
Drug ScheduleG / H / H1 / X / NRX — drives the prescription-required warning.
Composition / SaltGeneric name compliance ("Paracetamol 500mg + Caffeine 30mg").
Storage instructionsCold chain, light-proof, humidity — for retail labels.
Min Order QuantityB2B reorder floor — blocks sales below the threshold.
Case SizeUnits 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:

LineWhat it shows
GRAND TOTALOnly this bill — what's new today
PREVIOUS BALANCETotal 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.

Frequently asked questions

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.
