GST India – E-Invoicing

1. Introduction

GST E-invoice is introduced to reduce the evasion of GST. It is an electronic invoice generated by supplier on the government portal. It is mandatory to issue e-invoice for Business to Business (B2B) transactions provided that the supplier has crossed the threshold limit of 500 crore turnover in previous financial year.

E-invoice solution provided by SAP:

For more details refer OSS – 2884058 – SAP solution for eInvoice/IRN India

SAP has provided two solutions for eInvoicing

Automated Solution

This is a solution developed by SAP which will provide direct integration between the SAP and the eInvoicing (IRN) via certifiedGSPs using the SAP Cloud Integration Platform.

GSP: GST Suvidha Provider (GSP) is considered as an enabler or authorised intermediary for businesses to access GST portal services.

In automated solution user has to upload the invoices from SAP, then in the backend it will be send to IRP portal via GSP and generate an 64 digit IRN (Invoice reference number) along with signed QR code; returned it back to SAP and assigned to the invoice or stored in the database.

Manual Solution:

SAP manual process will read the response file and store the information of IRN, QR code & digital signature in the standard table and it will link the original invoice with IRN along with the current status in the table. The preparation of a standardized format (JSON request file) needs to be generated offline by the customer.

2. EDOC_COCKPIT

In eInvoicing solution SAP has introduced the cockpit to manage the all activities related to edocument. How to use it and what we can do with the cockpit we will see in below part:

Execute transaction code EDOC_COCKPIT

Below screen will be prompted:

Default variant is executed in the background after executing the cockpit

To change the variant value click on Change button:

We can use above parameters to filter the edocument

In the cockpit there are only two status of the document on broad level

In process

Completed

Once the status is completed, there will no further processing can be done on the document.

To generate an edocument and get IRN number select the document:

And click on the submit

That’s it, within couple of seconds system will reach to the IRP portal and generate an IRN number and get back to the SAP

You can notice even after generating an edocument status is still yellow (in process)

Scroll to the extreme right to see the Invoice Reference Number

The highlighted number is the 64 digit alpha numeric IRN

Cancellation of IRN

Cancellation of E-document is only possible if we are cancelling it before 24 hours and the invoice is not finalize in the SAP

Select the E-document and click on Cancel eDocument

Enter the cancellation reason code from below available options:

Duplicate
Data Entry Mistake

Click on save

And the edocument does not get cancelled, to check the error select the document and click on ‘goto’ button

Click on application log

Errors and checks

Duplicate IRN:

IRN will not be generated for invoices with identical key parameters (Eg: Supplier GSTIN, Invoice Number/ODN, Document type, Financial Period, etc.). In case there are invoices generated with identical ODN, assign a separate number range in the view EDOINEWBCONFIGV.

RCM cases:

IRN is only required for B2B RCM invoices from the supplier perspective and not from the buyer and receiver perspective as this is not a legal requirement and there is no API available for the same in Govt. portal.

Finalize:

After finalizing, no action can be performed on the e-Document. The status color will be green once finalizing the e-Document is done.

Cancellation:

According to govt, IRN cancellation can only happen within 24 hours of its generation. Any cancellation after 24hrs could not be possible on IRN, however one can manually cancel the same on the GST portal before filing the returns.

If the source document needs to be canceled in SAP post 24 hours of IRN generation:

Perform the ‘Cancel eDocument’ action under ‘More’ in EDOC_COCKPIT and it should fail with the error “Error Code 2270: The allowed cancellation time limit is crossed, you cannot cancel the IRN.”
Use the ‘Allow Cancellation’ action under ‘More’ in EDOC_COCKPIT to enable the cancellation of the source document. The status will be changed to ‘ALLOW_CANCEL’ to allow source document cancellation.

Note: This does not have any impact on IRP portal data and only allows to cancel source document in the SAP system. After canceling the source document, ensure to cancel the outward liability while filing GSTR1 returns.

Below customer categories requires to generate edocument.

GSTIN / UIN Status

Tax Payer Type	GSTN Status	Customer Category
Regular	Active	B2B
Tax Deductor	Active	B2G
SEZ Unit	Active	SEZ
SEZ Developer	Active	SEZ
Composition	Active	B2B

This blog will be update time to time as this is new thing in India and government seems to be serious with the edocument concept looks like we will see more changes in near future.

Till then you can have look at our ebooks.

Ways to find Tables and Transaction codes in SAP

One thing is for sure that we cannot remember every table and transaction related to any or all modules, and processes. So to make there are couple of ways which we can use to find out T-codes and tables without knowing anything.

1. From scratch

If you don’t know the tcode or table you are searching for then the transaction SE16T will be useful for you.

Here let’s say for example, you have to find out the tcodes related to the production order

Go to SE16T

Double click on the Find Transaction – Execute Function

On the left hand side a new option will be visible at the top, which is to search transaction term.

Now in the inputable search field we will enter ‘Production Order’ and press enter

And here you go, there are 45 transactions displayed which description contains name of the searched term.

If you look at the result it is much satisfying, this SE16N can be very useful, if we remember it and used it instead of wasting time on Google to find transactions.

Same way it works for tables, in SE16N double click on the Find Tables – Execute Function

Press enter

And we have the all tables related to accounting.

2. From fields

This is very common way of getting the name of the tables. All we have to do is to press F1 in the field of the document.

For e.g. in Accounting document we need to check in which table header data of the document is recorded.

Select document number field and press F1

Click on the technical information

In the pop up window highlighted field usually contains the name of the fields.

3. From the structures

Now in above scenario not all the time we get the name of the tables by pressing F1 on the field, many times we only get the structure names.

So in this block we will try to figure out, how to get table names for the fields in structure

For e.g. if we similarly go into the MIGO transaction and try to search for the table for header level of the document by pressing F1 – Technical information, we will get the structure ‘GOHEAD’
