This topic lists the FAQ on generating e-Way Bill details from Tally.ERP 9.
1. JSON file upload is failing on portal. How to resolve this?
Following changes have been introduced on e-Way Bill portal. Check the procedure provided for each change, to correct the details and generate the e-Way Bill.
● Based on the PIN code of consignor and consignee, the NIC portal calculates the distance. If the distance entered in the invoice is not within the limit allowed, JSON file upload will fail.
To check the distance go to e-Way Bill portal > Search > Pin to Pin distance .
In the e-Way Bill details of the invoice, you can enter this distance and generate the new JSON file for upload. If you have to change the distance, you can add only up to 10% of the actual distance, rounded-off to the nearest digit.
Upgrade to the latest release of Tally.ERP 9, to automatically round off the decimals and capture the distance as a whole number in JSON file and MS Excel template. This can be uploaded to NIC portal to generate e-Way Bill.
Note: If the distance entered is 0.01 to 0.49 or above 4,000 km, the transaction will appear with the exception Distance cannot be less than 0.5 km or more than 4000 km under Information required for e-Way Bill not provided of Export for e-Way Bill report.
