Erpnext: E-way Bill for Indian Customer

Created on 30 May 2018 · 9Comments · Source: frappe/erpnext

Sales Invoice

I think, at the time of submission, there should be a script that will check invoice amount is greater than 49,999.99. If yes, then there should be a dialogue box that will pop-up and force the user to key-in the eWay-Bill number. ( that will make the user generate e-way bill from the GSTN portal) and then submission of the invoice should happen.

Purchase Invoice

Similarly, at the time of submission, there should be a script that will check the invoice amount as per above and force the user to key-in the e-way bill. In this case, he may also be required to upload the Form for his reference and records.

heres the flow chart of decision making whether a Eway-Bill is required or not.
To start with we can work out with a JSON download option.

I assume this should be only for users who transport goods or receive goods from a transporter. It is not applicable for users who use the system for selling items which are services related. So possibly it should validate invoices for that.

@PawanMeh validation can be taken from the chart of accounts. If the item has default income account as "sales" .. else if "service" bypass the condition.

It will be a good addition. Can we also have an ability to download a JSON file that can be uploaded to eway bill server?

Forcing e way bill generation is a bit strong because you have to consider 2 limits. First the bill value exceeding 50,000 of only "taxable " items in a bill. So if there is a mixed bill of taxable and non taxable goods, only taxable goods would be counted for e way bill.

Second, the local sale distance limits which is 50 kilometres in the state/ut of the seller. There is no need. There are further exceptions to e way bill generation so I would suggest:

Once a sale invoice is generated and saved, it should ask for e way bill. If selected yes, then ask for transporter details and other missing details. Then it should generate a json file which would be manually uploaded to e way bill login.
Bulk e way bill json should be made available and a validation engine of sorts which would tell of any mistakes before generating the json.

I would strongly suggest avoiding going the api route because that needs a lot of development time and costs money per api call. Json is free.

Im up for any technical help related to gst india, so please ask up.
