Error Message/Scenario  Reason for Error Resolution

IRN is already generated and registered with GSTN Lookup Portal by other IRP

 

You can perform Get IRN from TallyPrime to connect to only the einvoice1 portal. In case you have manually generated IRN on the einvoice2 portal (e-invoice2.gst.gov.in), you will not be able to perform Get IRN/cancellation from TallyPrime. 

You can perform one of the following:

  • Cancel the current e-Invoice generation request done in the e-invoice2 portal and send a new request for e-Invoice.
  • Generate an e-Invoice only on the e-invoice1 portal.
The field Location must be a string with a minimum length of 3 and a maximum length of 50 Location is not as per the required format

The field Location refers to the Invoice bill from place set under the GST Details of the F11 (Company Features). You can check it on the following path:

F11 (Company Feature) > Enable Goods and Service Tax (GST) > GST Details.

If the Invoice bill from place is lesser than 3 characters or greater than 50 characters, then the vouchers get rejected by the e-Invoice system.

The Document date should not be a future date.

The Document Date specified is of future Date

e-Invoice generated for future day that is, not equal to the current date. Check the Document date that is being passed and it should not be of a date greater than today’s date.

The State field is required State code is not specified

The maximum length of address allowed is 200 characters (100 against address line 1 and 100 against address line 2).

Duplicate IRN

You might be attempting to create an IRN that is already generated.

When trying to generate an e-invoice, you will receive a duplicate IRN if the IRN number has already been generated, cancelled, and repassed with another entry in the same cancelled voucher or with a previous voucher number with a new invoice.

Say for Voucher No 1, you have generated an e-invoice, which you have cancelled later. If you are now generating an e-invoice for another voucher with the same voucher number, you will be prompted with a duplicate IRN error.

In this case, record the new voucher with a separate voucher number. Also, remove the IRN from the e-invoice details and then generate the e-invoice through the new voucher.

  • In case the IRN/QR code does not exist for the said invoice, then instead of re-generating, you can use “Get IRN”. If not done within 72 hours, then this solution works. 
  • In case voucher is deleted by any chance, and due to numbering it is showing, then we need to recommend not to delete voucher and insert same voucher and use get IRN and in case it greater than 72 hours then raise credit note.

The provided HSN Code is not a valid HSN code for Goods.
