E-Way Bill – India GST

Once a sale is invoiced, you can generate the E-Way bill required under the Indian GST Act. Currently, it is mandatory for supplies over Rs.50,000 in value. The E-way bill should be available with the person carrying the consignment.

The E-way bill can be generated in the FINANCE module, against every invoice.

The invoices for E-way Bill generation are listed on the tab by the same name. Choose the correct organisation, if it is a multi-organisation setup. The invoice period must be selected. Click Search to list the invoices

Transporter details must be updated for one or more invoices. Select the invoices by clicking the checkbox against them and click the Update Transporter Details button at the bottom of the page. This will open the screen for filling in the transporter details for the invoice.

Click Update after filling in the required details.

You can generate the E-Way Bills by automatically connecting from CREST ERP to the NIC portal or by the manual route using a JSON file

On the next tab – Manual JSON Creation, select the invoice and click Download JSON. Name the file with the invoice number for easy reference and save the download.

On the next tab under Manual JSON Creation – Invoices Pending For E-Way Bill Updation -, you can manually update the E-Way Bill number for every invoice. This will complete the E-Way Bill process for the invoice.
