The documents Indian small businesses still run on spreadsheets.
Ten in-page templates for the paperwork a quotation, a GST invoice, a stock count, and a day-end close all need. Each one is a real document structure with labelled fields, a worked example, and a copy button that puts the whole thing on your clipboard as CSV so you can paste it into your own spreadsheet and start filling it in.
What these are, precisely
They are templates on a web page, not downloadable files. Every one is shown in full: the header block, the line items, the totals, the fields you would otherwise be inventing from scratch. You can read the whole document, copy it as CSV, and paste it into a blank sheet. There is no XLSX to download, no PDF to print, and no account to create.
They are written for Indian operations: rupee amounts in 2,2,3 digit grouping, GST split as CGST and SGST for an intra-state supply and IGST for an inter-state one, HSN and SAC codes on the line, GSTIN fields on the document, and UPI as a payment mode on the day-end sheet.
What they are not
The customer names, GSTINs, amounts and dates in the worked examples are invented for illustration. They are not real customers, real registrations, or real transactions, and they should not be reused as your own records.
None of this is tax or legal advice. The GST fields are captured in the conventional structure, but the right rate, the place of supply, whether e-invoicing applies to you, and what you must file are decisions for your own chartered accountant. Confirm them before you issue anything.
We deliberately do not publish time-saved figures, benchmarks, or industry averages here, because we have no honest source for them. Use the templates, and judge them on whether they fit the way your business already works.
Quote, invoice, collect
The three documents a service business or shop sends out, and the sheet it reconciles against. These are the sheets that get re-keyed into an accounting package at month end.
Quotation Template
Header block, numbered line items with description, HSN/SAC, qty, rate and amount, discount, then GST, round-off and total — with the CGST/SGST and IGST variants written out.
GST Invoice Template
Tax invoice layout with supplier and recipient GSTIN, place of supply, HSN-wise line items, tax breakup, amount in words, and the reverse-charge and e-invoice fields you should confirm with your CA.
Payment Collection Tracker
Invoice reference, invoice date, due date, invoice value, amount received, balance, days outstanding, status and next action — with ageing bands so old money is visible separately.
Scope, change, project economics
Where project margin quietly disappears. A scope that was written down, a change that was priced, and a decision made in writing instead of in a corridor.
Project Scope Template
Objective, in-scope and out-of-scope lists, a deliverables table with owners, due dates and acceptance criteria, assumptions, dependencies, and a sign-off block.
Change Request Template
A numbered change request with reason, description, impact on scope, timeline and cost, the original against the revised total, and an approver decision that is recorded rather than remembered.
Scope Change Cost Calculator
Works the change from hours, materials, subcontract and contingency through to a price you can quote, including the GST line — with the arithmetic shown so you can check it.
Counter, stock and money on the day
The end-of-day routine for a shop or a counter. These sheets are unglamorous and they are where cash and stock differences become visible — or stay invisible.
Day-End Closing Sheet
Opening float, expected cash, counted cash, variance, and a payment-mode split across cash, UPI, card and bank, with refund and exception notes and two approval signatures.
Inventory Count Sheet
SKU, item, HSN, unit, opening quantity, counted quantity, variance, variance value, reason and action — for a physical count that has to reconcile against the system figure.
Client and event operations
Two jobs where the work is a list rather than a number: starting a client relationship properly, and running entry on the day.
Client Onboarding Checklist
Commercial, billing, access and kickoff tasks with an owner, a due date and a status, so a new client starts on the same footing as the last one.
Event Entry Checklist
Pre-event ticket and device setup, day-of gate readiness and escalation contacts, and post-event reconciliation of issued against attended tickets.
QR Scanner Deployment Checklist
Gates, devices, charge, operator roles, network and offline policy, duplicate handling, spares, and the post-event reconciliation step.
Leads, closing, and getting in
The three sheets a business reaches for first: what happens to an enquiry, whether the day's money ties out, and what you are moving from before you import anything.
Lead Follow-Up Sheet
Lead, source, date received, owner, stage, last contact, next action, next action date, notes — plus a staleness review so old enquiries surface.
Cash, UPI and Card Reconciliation Worksheet
Expected against counted for cash, UPI, card and credit or other, with the variance and a written reason for every difference.
CRM Migration Template
The field-mapping worksheet to write before importing: source field, destination field, transform, sample values, and the validation rule.
Profitability and hand-off
The two points where money is decided without a record: whether a project was worth it, and what the delivery team was actually asked to do.
Agency Profitability Spreadsheet
Quoted, changed, invoiced, collected, direct cost, internal hours and rate, gross profit and margin per project — with the arithmetic shown.
Project Handoff Checklist
The client record, the agreed scope, who owns delivery, what is excluded, what triggers a new quote, and what the client is told to expect.
Records that go wrong quietly
Four sheets for the failures that cost money without announcing themselves: a payment settled against the wrong invoice, a payment recorded twice, two people believing they own the same customer, and a trading day that nobody agreed where it ended.
Payment Allocation Worksheet
One payment, several invoices: the allocation policy written into the header, a running balance per invoice, and anything unexplained left as an unallocated credit rather than guessed.
Duplicate Payment Review Sheet
Candidate entries, the evidence that separates a double entry from a genuine second payment, the verdict and the action — including a pair that is not a duplicate at all.
Customer Master Cleanup Sheet
Candidate duplicate pairs, the fields that disagree, how you matched them, which record survives, what moves with it, and the pairs deliberately left alone.
Shift Handover Sheet
Who owned the trading period, expected against counted cash, the variance, what is outstanding, and what the next shift must know before it opens.
How to use one
The same four steps apply to every template on this site.
Read the example, then replace it
Every template is shown filled in with clearly-illustrative example data so you can see the shape of a finished document before you put your own numbers in it.
Copy the text with one click
Each page has a copy button that puts the template on your clipboard as CSV, so pasting it into a blank spreadsheet gives you the same columns the page shows. If your browser blocks clipboard access, the text is selected for you instead.
Fill it in your own tool
There is no account, no signup, and no file to download. These are in-page templates: read them, copy them, and keep them wherever your working documents already live.
Come back when the sheet stops working
Every template here eventually hits the same ceiling: too many rows, too many people editing at once, and a version history held in email. At that point the workflow, not the document, is the thing that needs managing.
Where these processes live in NoxOrigin
Each template below corresponds to a workflow that NoxOrigin actually runs: the quotation becomes a quote record, the invoice becomes a receivable, the day-end sheet becomes a shift close, the count becomes a stock adjustment with a reason. If you use the template first and outgrow it later, the migration is a set of records rather than a rewrite of how you work.
