AI summary

Create e-way bills for invoices above the threshold, update the vehicle (Part B), print and cancel them.

6 sections 5 steps

When one is needed

Goods moving in a vehicle with an invoice value above ₹50,000 need an e-way bill (some states set a different limit for movement within the state). Services never need one.

Open it

Click E-Way Bills under GST & E-Invoicing.

Summary cards

Action Required (EWB) counts invoices above the threshold without an e-way bill, with their Pending Transit Value. Generated E-Way Bills shows the bills done and their Cleared Transit Value.

Generate

  1. Set From Date, To Date and the Threshold (₹), then click FILTER.
  2. The Pending E-Way Bills tab lists each invoice with customer, GSTIN, POS (place of supply state code), Transport mode and invoice value.
  3. The invoice must carry transporter details, vehicle number and distance. If it shows N/A, open the sales invoice, fill the Transport section and save, then come back.
  4. Click GENERATE.
  5. The bill moves to Generated E-Way Bills with its E-Way Bill No., Transport / Vehicle and Distance.

After generation

  • Print E-Way Bill for the driver's copy.
  • Update Vehicle Part-B when the vehicle changes mid-journey or was not known at generation.
  • Cancel EWB within 24 hours if the goods did not move.
  • EXPORT CSV for a list.

Distance and validity

Distance is worked out from the PIN code of your Dispatch Address to the customer's PIN code, so keep both correct. Validity is one day for every 200 km (or part of it) for normal cargo.

Generate the e-way bill before the vehicle leaves. A bill generated after the goods are in transit does not protect you at a checkpoint.
