What is e-invoicing under GST?
The GSTN uses a process called "e-Invoicing," also referred to as "electronic invoicing," to electronically validate B2B invoices before allowing them to be used on the common GST site. Each invoice filed using the electronic invoicing system will get an identifying number from the GST Network's Invoice Registration Portal (IRP).
This site will provide real-time invoice information to the GST and e-way bill portals. Since the information is uploaded directly from the IRP to the GST site, there would be no need for manual data entry for completing GSTR-1 returns or creating Part-A of e-way bills.
A machine-readable, standardized invoice format is offered by electronic invoicing. It is a method through which B2B (Business-to-Business) invoices are electronically authenticated by the GSTN (Goods & Services Tax Network) before being used on the central GST site. Each invoice submitted using the electronic invoicing system will get an identification number from the GSTN-controlled Invoice Registration Portal (IRP).
How Will E-invoicing Benefit Businesses?
According to tax officials, e-invoices have a number of benefits, including :
Auto-reporting of invoices into GST returns and auto-generation of e-way bills.
It will eliminate mismatch mistakes, and e-Invoice resolves and plugs a critical gap in data reconciliation under GST.
E-invoice allows for real-time tracking of invoices prepared by the supplier.
Standardization and interoperability will be facilitated by e-invoicing, resulting in fewer conflicts between transacting parties, shorter payment cycles, lower processing costs, and increased overall corporate efficiency.
Businesses use a variety of accounting and billing software, each of which generates and stores invoices in its own electronic format. The GST system, as well as the systems of suppliers and receivers, do not understand these varied formats. For example, unless a connector is utilized, an invoice created by the SAP system cannot be read by a machine that uses the ‘Tally’ system.
There is no way to have interfaces for all of the accounting/billing software systems because there are over 300 of them. The goal of ‘e-invoicing’ in this case is machine readability and uniform interpretation. An invoice standard is required to ensure total "interoperability" of e-invoices across the whole GST ecosystem. This allows e-invoices created by one software to be read by any other software, obviating the need for manual data entry.
