Invoicing reference

Everything that goes onto a tax invoice and how each part is controlled โ€” numbering, appearance, language, delivery and correction.

Invoice numbering

Numbering is configured per billing profile. You control the prefix, the separator and how many digits the running number is padded to.

Numbers are unique within a billing profile, so two businesses under one login keep independent sequences and neither can collide with the other.

Line items and totals

Each line carries a description, quantity, rate, GST slab and optional discount. The discount reduces the taxable value before GST is applied, so tax is computed on the discounted figure.

Totals are computed once and reused by the PDF, the customer ledger and the return exports. Templates format those numbers but never recalculate them, which is what keeps the document and the books in agreement.

Round-off

Round-off is optional and can target the nearest rupee or the nearest ten paise. When enabled it appears as its own line and is included in the grand total.

PDF themes

Four themes ship today โ€” Classic, Tally, Minimal and Executive โ€” plus a thermal layout for receipt printers. Your logo, signature and bank details are applied to whichever you pick.

Invoice languages

Invoice labels can be rendered in English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada or Bengali, selected on the billing profile.

Tax acronyms โ€” CGST, SGST, IGST, GSTIN, HSN, SAC, UPI, IFSC โ€” are identical in every language and are never translated. Languages other than English carry a footnote until a human review is recorded for that language, so an unreviewed machine translation is never presented as a certified one.

Sending and sharing

Download the PDF, email it from the portal, or share a public link the customer can open without an account. Emailing and public share links are available on the plans that include them.

Corrections

Invoices can be edited and every change is recorded in an edit history you can open from the invoice itself.

For a document already issued to a customer, a credit note or debit note is usually the appropriate correction. Which one applies to your situation is a question for your accountant.

Other documents

Alongside tax invoices you can raise bills of supply, delivery challans, credit notes and debit notes. A delivery challan can be converted into an invoice so line items are not retyped.
