Generate e-Invoice with Ship To GSTN Details

As per the GSTN Advisory No. 661, effective August 1, 2026, the GSTN has mandated the entry of the “Ship-To GSTIN” in all Bill-To / Ship-To e-Way Bill transactions.

TallyPrime 7.1 onwards, you need to specify the GSTIN/UIN in transactions in which the Bill To and Ship To addresses are different. Thereafter, you can generate e-Invoice.

While create a GST Sales transaction:

1. In the Party Details screen, press F12 (Configure).
2. Provide separate Buyer and Consignee Details: Yes.
   
3. Enter GSTIN/UIN under Consignee (Ship To) details.
   
   

   If the Consignee (Ship To) is an unregistered dealer, then leave the field as blank. It will be reported as Unregistered Person (URP).

4. Press Ctrl+A to save the screen.
5. Provide GST/e-Way Bill/e-Invoice details: Yes.
6. In the Additional Details screen, ensure that Consignee Details (To) are specified.
   
   You can then proceed to generate the e-Way Bill.

If you are using TallyPrime 7.0 or earlier, then you will need to generate e-Invoice on the e-Way Bill system. While generating e-Way Bills on the e-Way Bill system, you need to manually enter the Ship To GSTIN/UIN.
