Day one

What a workspace in Sri Lanka is set to before you touch it

Choose the country and the rest follows. None of these are typed in by you, and none of them are typed in by us either — they come from the same reference table the product uses to localise a live workspace.

Currency: Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR)
Decimal places: 2
Sales tax called: VAT
Registration called: VAT number
Week opens: Sunday
Financial year opens: 1 April

The only two things stored as your own choice are the registration number itself and, if you disagree with your country, the day your week opens.

VAT number—— set in settings

A bill with this market’s symbol, decimal places, tax wording and registration label. The rate shown is an example; the labels are not.

Why it fits here

What this does for a salon in Sri Lanka

Three things that are true of this market specifically, rather than three things that would be true of anywhere.

Names in Sinhala, Tamil or English

Every name field is Unicode text with no transliteration, so a customer list can hold all three scripts at once. The interface is English; what your staff type is theirs.

VAT registration, when you have one

Registration is a threshold question here, and plenty of single-chair salons sit under it. Tax is per line and defaults to zero, so an unregistered salon is not forced to pretend it charges VAT to use the software.

An April financial year

Carried correctly, the same as India’s. A year that opens in April is not an edge case in this region — it is most of it.

Week opens Sunday

Three different answers appear across the markets we serve — Sunday, Monday and Saturday — so the product stores the day rather than assuming it.

The financial year

1 April — the year opens

Where imported software breaks

What gets Sri Lanka wrong

Every one of these is something a product built for somewhere else assumes, and every one of them is visible to your staff on the first day rather than to your accountant in month nine.

Registration is not all-or-nothing

A salon may be registered and still have exempt lines. A single company-wide tax rate cannot express that; a rate per line can.

The week opens on Sunday

As it does across most of South Asia, and as most software built in Europe assumes it does not.

The rupee is not the Indian one

They share a symbol in most systems. The symbol is overridable, and the currency code on the workspace is LKR regardless of what the symbol shows.

Each line on a bill carries its own rate in basis points, so several rates on one ticket stay separable all the way to the report.

What it does not do here

The parts we are not going to pretend about

Nothing is illustrated in this section, because there is nothing here to sell. These are the reasons a salon in this market might be right to say no.

Tax you pay is not tracked, only tax you charge

Expenses record a gross amount and no rate, so the software cannot tell you your input tax. The report gives you output tax properly — turnover and tax by month, and turnover grouped by rate — and your accountant supplies the other half.

Reports run on dates, not on your financial year

The product knows when your year opens and shows it, but nothing defaults to it yet. You pick the dates. That is a small annoyance where the year opens on 1 January and a real one where it does not.

One workspace is one country

Country, currency and registration belong to the workspace, not the branch. A group trading either side of a border runs one workspace each side and consolidates outside the product.

Straight answers

Common questions about SaloonERP in Sri Lanka

Every answer here is also marked up for search engines. They are the same words either way — describing the product one way to a reader and another way to a crawler is the oldest trick on this list and we are not doing it.

Does SaloonERP work for salons in Sri Lanka?

Yes. Choosing Sri Lanka as the country sets the workspace to Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR) at 2 decimal places, names the sales tax "VAT" and the registration "VAT number", opens the week on Sunday and the financial year on 1 April. None of that is configuration you do yourself.

What tax does SaloonERP handle in Sri Lanka?

Every service, product and bill line carries its own rate in basis points, so several rates can appear on one ticket and the report groups taxable turnover by the rate it was charged at — the shape a VAT return asks for. Your VAT number is stored once and prints on invoices. Tax you pay to suppliers is not tracked.

Do you have an office in Sri Lanka?

No. Our two offices are in Nagpur and Kathmandu, and support for Sri Lanka runs from Nagpur. We would rather say that than imply a local team.

Can one SaloonERP account cover Sri Lanka and another country?

No. Country, currency and tax registration belong to the workspace rather than the branch, so a group trading either side of a border runs one workspace each side. Within Sri Lanka you can run as many branches as you like, each with its own address, phone, timezone and opening hours.

What does SaloonERP cost in Sri Lanka?

List prices are published in Nepali rupees on our pricing page and start at Rs 2,500 a month, with a fourteen-day trial and no card required. Ask us for a quote in LKR and we will give you one.

Ask a question

Salons, spas, barbershops, beauty parlours and nail bars in Sri Lanka all run the same way here — a chair, a queue, a bill and a till. Whatever it is called where you are, this is the same product.
