Valid from Release 6.0 to 6.0.2
The advance amount received from customers can be recorded in a receipt voucher. The receipt voucher that is marked as an advance receipt, can be printed with the required GST details.
For any advance received for goods or services, if the corresponding sales invoice is not raised in the same month, the dealer who has received the advance has to pay the GST.
When an invoice is raised against an advance received in a different tax period, the voucher recorded for advance amount received has to be tracked against it.
