e-Way Bill in TallyPrime

The e-Way Bill system was introduced by the government to simplify and streamline the process of GST compliance. An e-Way Bill document has to be carried while shipping the goods from one location to another. This document will carry the e-Way Bill number and other relevant details. Accordingly, TallyPrime is here with a smooth e-Way Bill experience for you and your business. The best part is that Tally’s e-Way Bill solution is based on regular invoicing activity, and does not require any special expertise.

As a registered dealer, if you are shipping material worth more than Rs 50,000, then you have to generate an e-Way Bill from the portal by entering necessary information such as the details of the buyer, the quantity and HSN code of the goods, transporter ID, and so on. After you upload these details, an e-Way Bill number will be generated for this particular transaction. You have to print the e-Way Bill number and other details along with the invoice, and furnish them on the way, if needed. For example, an assessing officer might inspect the shipment, and might cross-check the e-Way Bill information with the goods being transported.

TallyPrime’s e-Way Bill solution is simple and is based on regular invoicing activity. For example, if you use TallyPrime, then you only have to record your sales transactions as usual, and your e-Way Bill requirement will be covered in the same flow. Important details will be updated in the vouchers automatically, and you can proceed to print them. Moreover, TallyPrime will ensure that both your business accounts and compliance requirements are suitably addressed.

TallyPrime also provides you with the flexibility to generate e-Way Bill in bulk for multiple invoices. If you do not want to generate the e-Way Bill while recording the transaction, then you can select one or more transactions from the Exchange menu and generate the e-Way Bill at your convenience. Moreover, TallyPrime also provides you with an option to cancel the e-Way Bill or update details such as Bill Part B and Transporter ID.

Moreover, if you are using TallyPrime Release 3.0 or later releases, then you can generate e-Way Bills for any GST registration during voucher creation or multiple GST registrations through Exchange by selecting multiple vouchers created for different GST registrations.

We understand how valuable your data is for you and your business, and we have provided various measures in TallyPrime to safeguard your data. All the requests for online e-Way Bill generation will pass through Tally GSP (TIPL), which has been awarded ISO 27001:2013 certificate for its stringent security policies. The best part is that you will not need any additional software or plugins to enjoy the benefits of e-Way Bill in TallyPrime.

e-Way Bill in Releases Earlier than TallyPrime 2.0

Important Announcement

National Informatics Centre (NIC) has made certain changes in the JSON schema for e-Way Bill (EWB). These changes are expected to go live on 1st July 2021. Therefore, the existing tools for e-Way Bill JSON Preparation and Consolidated e-Way Bill JSON Preparation will stop working and the JSON file generated from TallyPrime for EWB may fail during Upload.

We have made necessary enhancements in the product to address these changes, which will be available TallyPrime Release 2.0 onwards. Therefore, we urge you to upgrade to the latest release of TallyPrime at the earliest.

However, if you need time to upgrade to the latest TallyPrime release and want to continue generating e-Way Bill from your existing TallyPrime release, refer to the steps mentioned in the Export Data to JSON Preparation Tool and Create JSON section. The latest offline tool can be downloaded from here: https://docs.ewaybillgst.gov.in/html/formatdownloadnew.html

To know how to export e-Way Bill details using Excel, click Export Data to JSON preparation tool and Create JSON.

TallyPrime supports the e-Way Bill JSON Preparation Tool, Version 1.0.0219. In TallyPrime, you can enter e-Way Bill details only when such transactions are recorded with stock items. The provision to enter e-Way Bill details is not available in accounting invoice mode, and in companies enabled to Maintain only accounts.
