In order to standardize the invoicing system, the Government has introduced E-Invoicing. As per the Government notification the businesses having aggregate turnover of the past financial year more than Rs. 5 crore need to report the invoices to the central GST system.
Creating E-Invoices is seamless with Hisab. Hisab can automatically manage your E-Invoice needs:
Creating an E-Invoice is effortless when you have a registered business! Just follow below steps and get a hassle-free experience of creating an E-Invoice.
Remember that the credentials are not the same as LOGIN credentials you use to login on the Government portal.
If you have already enabled E-Way Bill, you don't need to create separate credentials as E-Way Bill and E-Invoice uses common GSP credentials. Just switch ON the feature and jump to step 7.
For Credit Notes and Debit Notes Also, E-Invoice can work in same way.
When you delete an Invoice within the 24 hours of its creation then it will be automatically cancelled from the E-Invoice portal too.
Moreover, Hisab does not allow re-use of the deleted Invoice number so in future you may not get any trouble with GST filing and the number will be shown in Deleted Documents in the GST Report, so don't worry for the GST compliance.
According to the E-Invoicing rules, an E-Invoice can't be cancelled after 24 Hours. so, when you try to delete after 24 Hours, you won't be allowed and suggested to create Credit Note for the Invoice.
Thus, a Credit note along with its E-invoice can be created for this Invoice.
For the invoices having E-Invoice should not be edited as the details are submitted to the E-Invoice portal. Editing such invoices may cause inconsistency in your GST records. So, considering your security, editing of such invoices is not allowed.
However, you can change information which are irrelevant to the E-Invoice e.g. Due date, Transportation details, Notes and Remarks.
In case you want to change E-Invoice information, the suggested path is to create a new and delete this.
If Invoice is older than 24 Hours, you need to create a Credit Note instead of Delete it.
E-Invoice filter can be used to search Invoices for which E-Invoice has been created. Such filtered E-Invoices can be exported as PDF OR Excel. PDF export provides individual Invoice PDF having E-Invoice details while Excel Export can be useful as E-Invoice report.
