Making a GST invoice in Vyapar takes a few clicks once the basics are set up. This guide follows Vyapar’s own desktop steps: first a one-time setup, then the invoice itself.
One-time setup
- Turn on GST: click the gear icon (Settings) in the left menu, open Taxes & GST, and tick GST. Turn on the HSN/SAC code option too if you use it.
- Add your business details: click your business name at the bottom left and enter your GSTIN, state, PIN code and address.
- Set tax rates on items: make sure every product or service is saved with the GST rate that applies to it.
- Check your customers: in Parties, double-click each business customer and check their GSTIN and state.
The state matters: Vyapar uses it to decide which tax to apply.
Create the invoice
- Click + Add Sale, or open Sale from the left menu.
- Choose the customer. For a B2B sale, pick one with the correct GSTIN and state.
- To show HSN/SAC, discount and GST columns, click + at the top right of the item table and tick them.
- Click Add Items and choose your products. Vyapar fills in each item’s GST rate and HSN code.
- Check the tax: Vyapar applies CGST and SGST for a sale within your state, or IGST for a sale to another state, based on the Place of Supply.
- Add any extra charges, check the total, and click Save.
- Click Print for a paper copy, or Share to send it on WhatsApp or email.
Common mistakes
- Wrong tax type: usually the customer’s state is missing or wrong in Parties.
- No GST on an item: the item was saved without a tax rate. Edit the item and add it.
- GSTIN missing on the invoice: add it in your business details.
