4. Source Transactions đ
The GST engine extracts data from these core modules:
- Sales Register: For outward supply data (
Invoice). - Purchase Register: For inward supply and ITC data (
Bill). - Debit/Credit Notes: For sales and purchase adjustments (
DebitCredit). - Job Work Challans: For ITC-04 tracking (
Jobwork). - Company Master: For identifying Home State and GST registration status.
5. Filing Best Practices đĄ
- Reconcile Before Filing: Always run a GSTR-1 HSN Summary and match the total taxable value with your Sales Month-Wise Summary to ensure no invoices are missing.
- Identify Ineligible ITC: Periodically review the GSTR-2 report. If an item is marked as “Ineligible” (e.g., staff welfare, food, or car repairs), ensure it doesn’t get included in your main ITC claim.
- Cancelled Invoices: Check the Docs Issued section. Any gap in serial numbers should be explained by a “Cancelled” status in the system.
- Export Documentation: For the Export (EXP) sheet, ensure that the Port Code and Shipping Bill fields are correctly filled in the Invoice header to avoid portal errors.
