RESOLUTION: To resolve this issue firstly you need to make sure that there should not be the same invoices issued on different dates and if there are no such invoices then we will do sorting of the invoices with four main levels
1.Gstin of taxpayer
2.Gstin of counterparty
3.Invoice document number
4.Note voucher number

 

  1. ERROR: INVALID GSTIN

This means that the GSTIN is invalid and is not correct.

RESOLUTION: We need to make sure that the GSTIN entered should be correct and valid. For eg. The State Code, Pan Number& the unique code present in the GST Number should be accurate.

RESOLUTION: All the credit and debit notes should always be on or after the date of registration of the GST Number of the Taxpayer because till the taxpayer is not registered no transaction related to GST can be done.

RESOLUTION:  The invoice date should be of either the same month as filling or before that month, but it can’t be after that month because it is not practically possible since we don’t know what will be our future sales.

RESOLUTION: We need to make sure that there the amount in  invoice value column should be in numbers and also if there is any extra columns at the end of the sheets then we need to delete those columns.

    RESOLUTION: In case if the supply type is not found then we need to fill the supply type based on the tax as follows- If the tax applied on the particular invoice is IGST then the supply type will be INTER and if the tax applied is CGST & SGST then the supply type will be INTRA.
