This article will help you understand what e-Way bills are and how to generate them for your business. By reading this, you will know how to generate e-Way Bill numbers, or EBNs, for the invoices recorded in Tally.ERP 9.
The e-Way Bill comes into effect from 1st of February, 2018. It contains two parts – Part A and Part B.
The details of Part A should be already ready and available in the invoices which are created in Tally. Here, you may choose to submit either item wise details or HSN wise details of the goods being shipped, as per your preference. You may use F12 while printing. You may choose to print the chosen invoice using any of these two options.
Option 1: Print item wise GST details
Option 2: Print HSN/SAC details
Fill in Part A, i.e. invoice, information along with Part B, i.e. transport details in the Excel offline Utility tool or the e-Way Bill portal. This will generate the e-Way Bill number. This EBN which is generated and printed from the portal can be carried along with the tax invoice generated from Tally.ERP 9 at the time of transporting goods.
Another way to do this is to record and print e-Way Bill information in the narration field of the invoice.
The upcoming Release 6.4 will make managing e-Way bills even more simple and comfortable. This will be out in the 2nd week of February. In the Tally.ERP 9 Release6.4, you will be able to identify invoices that need e-Way Bills and alert you if there are any missing details which are mandatory for generating the bills. You can export all the information needed for generating e-Way Bill numbers to a JSON file or the Excel Offline Utility provided by the department. With the new release, you will have the flexibility to export e-Way Bill information for each invoice at the time of saving or for multiple invoices at one go through a report.
A pointer: Upload the JSON file in the e-Way Bill portal. The e-Way Bill numbers generated on the portal can be updated against their corresponding invoices in Tally.ERP 9.
