Value Details

E-Invoicing excel sheet format


This is were we are all commonly making mistake. on this tab we need to fill the total invoice value (TOTAL TAXABLE VALUE + GST AMT = TOTAL INVOICE VALUE)



Don’t split the invoice value. Just put the total basic value + total GST = total invoice value. If you have a five rows in this invoice then just put the same value in five rows. please see the above image for reference. also note the rounded off format. this is very important to make proper Json file.


After filling these details just click on validate button on the top of the screen, Just near the page title. After clicking the validate button it will take few seconds to verify your data.

If any error found, A note pad file will be created on the same folder where the excel sheet has being saved. If so, just open that excel sheet for error message and do the necessary arrangements as mentioned in the file. and click again in validate button.
