Download IMS Inward Invoices
Using the IMS feature in TallyPrime, you can directly download your supplier’s purchase invoices from the GST portal. Once downloaded, invoices are automatically grouped in the IMS Inward Supplies report, based on the supplier’s filing status, reconciliation status, and action status. IMS in TallyPrime supports both single and multiple GST registrations, making it easy to manage reconciliation across businesses. You can also redownload invoices at any time, the latest data will seamlessly replace the previous one.

Automatically Accept Reconciled Vouchers in IMS
When you download invoices from the GST portal, many invoices are automatically reconciled by TallyPrime based on the matching details. To make things even easier, you can automatically mark reconciled vouchers after download as Accepted in the IMS Inward Supplies report. So, before downloading IMS Inwards invoices, you can enable this configuration and all your reconciled invoices in the IMS Inward Supplies report will be marked as accepted.
This saves time, especially when you’re dealing with large volumes of transactions. And don’t worry, if you’ve already marked a voucher as Pending or Rejected, your selection will stay as is. Only vouchers that are auto-reconciled will get Accepted when this configuration is enabled.
-
In the GST Details screen, press F12 (Configure) and enable the option Marked Reconciled Vouchers as Accepted in IMS.
Once you enable this configuration, the reconciled invoices after download will automatically move to the Accepted section of the IMS Inward Supplies report.
