Understanding Electronic Invoice Templates for GST

At the time of supply of goods and services, the supplier issues the invoice that contains information required by Indian tax authorities.

To generate the necessary e-invoice extract for GST, the system provides you an invoice template.

Legal Numbering for GST Electronic Invoices

The legal requirements are:

  • Each legal number is consecutive and is generated by the system.

  • The legal numbering sequence is unique for the combination of a company, legal document type, GST unit, and issue place.

    Each invoice series (issue place) is unique for a GST unit. You cannot use the same invoice series for multiple GST units. A unique invoice series helps in identifying the GST unit from the invoice number that is printed on the invoice template.

    The schedule defines the sequence in which the system applies the discounts and taxes to the goods.You must place the adjustments for taxes at the end of the schedule.
