A wedding is rarely one evening: a family books a nikah, a mayun, a barat and a walima. A function series groups them so you see all functions, their guests and their money together.
Click Operations › Delivery › Function series (/function-series). The page reads "Group the functions of one celebration — e.g. a wedding's mayun, barat and walima — so the whole event is seen together." There is one card per series with its name, type chip, code (for example FS-00002), customer, FUNCTIONS (n), Add existing event, the Series total and the pencil and bin buttons.
Press New series. The form has Name (for example "Ahmed–Fatima Wedding"), Type (wedding, corporate, festival, other; wedding by default), Customer and Notes.
Press Create with everything empty. "Name is required" appears under Name and the dialog stays open.
Enter the name (here Hira Baig Wedding), keep Type wedding, choose the Customer Hira Baig and write a note ("Nikah, mayun, barat and walima, 22 January to 6 February 2027"). Press Create. The new card shows FUNCTIONS (0) and "No events attached yet. Use “Add existing event”, or set the series on an event."
Open Operations › Delivery › Events, press New event and fill Basics. The Function series (wedding) box lists "— standalone —" and only the chosen customer's series. Choose Hira Baig Wedding and finish the event (for example a Mayun on 24 January 2027 or a Barat on 28 January 2027).
On the series card press Add existing event. Search by title or code and press Add on a row such as "Hira Baig Nikah · 22-Jan-2027 · Draft". Only this customer's events that are not in a series, and not cancelled or closed, can be added; otherwise it says "No events to add".
The card now shows FUNCTIONS (4) by date: Nikah, Mayun, Barat and Walima, each with status, shift, date, guests and money. The Series total reads Rs 900,000 contract · Rs 200,000 paid · Rs 700,000 balance. Each title links to its event.
Open any of those events. On Overview the card Part of Hira Baig Wedding lists every function with its shift and start. The current one reads "(this)"; the others are links. The card title opens Function series.
Press the pencil on the card. Edit series opens with the current values. Change the name, type, customer or notes and press Save.
Press the bin. The dialog says the series is removed and its events become standalone again; the events themselves are not deleted. Choose Cancel or Delete series.
Only the remaining series stay, with their functions. An event that was in the deleted series still exists as a standalone event.
| Mistake | What you see | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Saving with no name | "Name is required" | Type a name |
| Adding another customer's event | Only that customer's events are offered | Create the series for the right customer |
| Deleting the series to remove one function | All functions become standalone | Use the unlink button on that function instead |
| Item | Meaning / rule |
|---|---|
| Function series | One card per celebration, grouping its functions |
| Series total | Contract, paid and balance of all functions |
| Add existing event | Only the customer's standalone, open events |
| Delete series | Events stay and become standalone |
Can I put any event into a function series? Only events of the same customer as the series, that are not already in a series and are not cancelled or closed. Add existing event lists only those, and the Function series box in New event lists only the chosen customer's series.
What does the series total show? The contract, the paid amount and the balance of all the functions added together, read from each function's booking. In the Hira Baig Wedding that is Rs 900,000 contract, Rs 200,000 paid and Rs 700,000 balance.
What happens to the events when I delete a series? Nothing is deleted: the series is removed and its events become standalone again, still in the Events list.
How do I take one function out of a series? Press the unlink button on its row and confirm Remove from series. The event stays as it is, becomes standalone, and the series totals update at once.
