Generating e-Invoice

e-Invoice is an electronic invoice required to be generated on e-Invoice Portal for all invoices except for supplies made to unregistered customers. In order to comply with the same, India Compliance offers easy, quick and reliable solution to generate e-Invoice.

APIs would be needed to use these features. This is required for businesses with good volume of transactions, and hence it is recommended to use with APIs.

e-Invoice Settings

Get started with GST Settings and configure e-Invoice settings according to your requirements.

You need to first enable API to access e-Invoice Settings

• Enable e-Invoicing: Is e-Invoicing applicable to you? You can enable e-Invoicing features from here.

e-Invoice and e-Waybill both are applicable to us. How do these settings interact with each other?

We have a seamless integration for you where both are applicable to you. Following points shall help you understand the same in detail.

• If Automatically Generate e-Invoice on Invoice Submission setting is enabled by you, Automatically Generate e-Waybill on Invoice Submission will be a mandatory setting for you.

• While generating e-Invoice, e-Waybill shall be generated automatically if applicable and required fields (Transport Details) are present. In case, data is not available, and e-Waybill is not generated or only Part A of e-Waybill is generated, you shall be able to generate or update e-Waybill from e-Waybill menu items.

• For cancellation of e-Invoice, e-Waybill needs to be cancelled first. We have got you covered here to. While you cancel the e-Invoice, and if e-Waybill is available and valid, both e-Invoice and e-Waybill will be cancelled simultaneously.

What if we generate e-Waybill before the e-Invoice?

e-Invoice has been designed to automate your GSTR-1 and e-Waybill process. You should first create e-Invoice and then generate e-Waybill only if its not generated along with e-Invoice.

What should we do if the validity of e-Invoice has expired and still we would like to cancel it?

e-Invoice is a legal record. Cancelling your invoice (although e-Invoice is not cancellable) for updates or errors or returns is not a good practice in such cases.

You should adjust the difference with a credit or debit note over and above this invoice.
