E-invoices and e-way bills off the bill itself
Once your turnover crosses the threshold, every B2B invoice has to be registered and carry an IRN and a QR code, and goods above the value limit need an e-way bill before they move. Doing that on the portal by hand is a job nobody wants. Doing it from the invoice is not a job at all.
Included in both editions.The same invoice, typed twice
The common arrangement is that a bill is made in the software and then typed again on the portal to get the IRN, and a third time for the e-way bill. Three chances to make a mistake, and a delay at the gate while somebody finds the details.
When the invoice is already in the system, none of that is necessary. The invoice goes up, the IRN and QR come back and print on the document, and the e-way bill is generated from the same data with the transport details added.
From invoice to portal and back
IRN and QR on the printed bill
The invoice is registered and the IRN and signed QR code come back and appear on the document you hand over, so the bill going out of your shop is the compliant one.
E-way bills with the transport details
Vehicle number, distance and transporter are added to the invoice that already exists, and the e-way bill is generated against it. Part B can be updated when the vehicle changes.
Cancellation and amendment
Cancelling within the permitted window, and extending or updating an e-way bill, are done from the same screen rather than separately on the portal.
Returns that follow from it
Because every invoice carries its own tax detail, the GSTR-ready reports your accountant files from are the direct output of your billing, not a spreadsheet somebody assembled afterwards.
This is where most of our work starts
What is described above is how Stock2Track does it out of the box, and for most shops that is the end of the conversation. When it is not — when your business does this one step differently and the difference matters — that part gets built. Over two hundred customers run a version of Stock2Track altered in some way for how they work.
How custom development worksQuestions owners ask
Do I need this if my turnover is below the threshold?
Not for e-invoicing. E-way bills apply to goods in transit above the value limit regardless of turnover, so distributors and wholesalers usually need that part whatever their size. The thresholds change from time to time, so check the current position with your accountant.
What happens if the portal is down?
The bill is still made and the customer is still served. The registration is completed when the portal is reachable again, which is the same position you would be in doing it by hand.
Will my accountant be able to file from this?
That is the point of it. Bring your accountant to the demonstration and have them look at the reports before you commit to anything.
