Glossary

Plain-language definitions of the trade and compliance terms Neev uses on screen — so a 10th-pass trader is never stuck on a label.

5 min read · updated 28/05/2026

Overview

Neev puts a lot of short labels on screen — IRN, slab, credit gate, ASN, OOR. Most are trade or GST words you already know by another name; a few are Neev's own. This page is the single place to look one up so nobody has to guess what a chip or a button means. Read it once, keep it open the first week, then forget it.

Where to find it

This article lives in Help → Reference → Glossary on the web app at /help. The same terms appear inline across Neev wherever a label could trip you up — tap or hover a highlighted term on any screen to read its short definition without leaving the page. Every role sees the glossary; it is read-only and carries no permissions of its own.

Key concepts

These are the live terms, grouped by where you meet them.

Money and GST

  • — the unique number GSTN sends back when an e-invoice is registered. Neev stores it on the invoice. Once it is generated it cannot be regenerated — only cancelled with a reason.
  • — the Harmonised System of Nomenclature code that classifies a product for GST. Neev applies HSN at the line level; if a product has no HSN in the lookup, it falls back to a default GST rate of 18%.
  • — required for inter-state movement of goods worth more than ₹50,000. That is Neev's threshold.
  • — a payment method recorded against an invoice. Neev supports cash, UPI, cheque, NEFT, RTGS, card, wallet and other. UPI, cheque, NEFT, RTGS, card and wallet need a reference number; cash and other do not.

Pricing

  • — a quantity tier in a discount rule. Each slab has a minimum and maximum quantity and either a fixed price or a discount percent. The engine picks the slab the order quantity falls into, best match first.
  • — the lowest unit price a discount rule will allow. If a calculated price drops under it, Neev clamps the price back up to the floor and flags the line. A floor margin works the same way to protect a minimum margin.

Orders and intake

  • — the review queue of draft orders the AI parsed from incoming Telegram messages and emails (text, photo, or voice note). Each card shows a confidence score and preflight checks for stock and credit, marked ok, pending or blocked, before you confirm.
  • — a pre-order check of the order total against the customer's available credit and credit limit. It returns within limit, no limit (when no limit is set), overridden (approved override) or blocked.
  • — a recurring order Neev generates on its own, on a daily, weekly or specific-days schedule at a set time in IST.
  • Order status — an order moves through draft → confirmed → allocated → packed → ready → shipped → delivered, or is cancelled. Held is the holding state a credit-blocked or flagged order sits in until it is approved.

Pack and capability terms

  • — the dispatch heads-up a quick-commerce supplier sends a platform before goods arrive.
  • — the platform's record of what it actually received. Neev tracks it received → reconciled → disputed; small short or damaged gaps inside tolerance auto-reconcile, larger ones land disputed for review.
  • — an Out-Of-Range temperature event. A soft excursion is amber (alert only); a hard excursion is red (alert plus the batch locks to quality-pending).

Common workflows

1
Look up a term you see on screen

Tap or hover any highlighted term right where it appears — the short definition pops up without leaving the screen. No need to come here for the common ones.

2
Find the full meaning

Open Help → Reference → Glossary and search the page for the word. Each entry says what the term is and where in Neev you meet it.

3
Jump to the feature it belongs to

Use the Related links at the bottom, or go straight to the matching screen — IRN and e-way bill on the invoice, slabs on Pricing & Quotes, the intake tray on Intake.

Role notes

The glossary itself is open to everyone — it grants nothing. What changes by role is whether you can act on the screen a term belongs to. The grid below covers the surfaces these terms sit on.

  • Owner is the only role that can void an invoice; only the Owner holds HSN-rate and e-invoice cancel powers.
  • Manager runs orders end-to-end (confirm, allocate, dispatch) but cannot void an invoice or edit HSN rates, and cannot add or remove a tender.
  • Accountant owns the payment surface — can record a tender and read financial and Tally reports — but cannot raise an invoice, cannot void one, and cannot remove a tender once added.
  • Operator can key in a draft order and look up stock and price, but cannot confirm or advance it, and has no money surface.
  • Warehouse packs orders and moves stock, but cannot create, confirm or dispatch orders and has no invoice or payment access at all.
  • Sales parses and drafts orders and runs quotations, but cannot advance an order to fulfilment and has no plain invoice access beyond counter-sale checkout.
  • Delivery is read-only on exactly orders and invoices — and despite the name, the default role does not include order dispatch; that stays with Manager and Owner.

Tips & time-savers

Tip

You do not have to memorise any of this. Highlighted terms on every screen open their own definition on tap or hover — the glossary page is just the full list for when you want it. Press ? on any page (cursor outside a text box) to pop the built-in cheat-sheet, or CtrlK to jump straight to Help from the command palette.

When a WhatsApp order lands in the intake tray, read the preflight chips first: an ok stock chip and a within limit credit chip mean you can confirm in one tap. A blocked credit chip means the order will sit in held until someone with approval rights clears it.

Gotchas

Warning

An IRN is one-way. Once GSTN registers an e-invoice and the IRN comes back, it can never be regenerated — it can only be cancelled with a reason. Check the invoice is correct before you finalize, not after.

Warning

On a quick-commerce GRN, only small short or damaged gaps inside tolerance auto-reconcile. Anything bigger lands the GRN in disputed, which is a terminal state on that line — you raise it with the platform from there, you cannot quietly reconcile it later.

A red cold-chain excursion is not just an alert: it locks the batch to quality-pending, so the stock cannot ship until the breach is acknowledged and the batch is dispositioned.
