Can E-Way Bill functionality be implemented on a custom DocType?

tejalkumbhar · December 22, 2025, 6:24am

In ERPNext, E-Way Bill functionality is available by default for standard DocTypes like Sales Invoice and Delivery Note.

I want to understand whether it is technically supported to implement E-Way Bill generation on a custom DocType (for example: Gate Pass / Custom Delivery Challan / Material Outward).

Specifically:

Can we trigger E-Way Bill generation from any custom DocType?
Is there any framework-level restriction on using E-Way Bill APIs only with standard DocTypes?
Has anyone implemented E-Way Bill integration on a custom form using a GSP (ClearTax / Masters India, etc.)?

Looking for guidance or best practices from the community.

Yes, it should be possible to extend this to custom docs. Should be fairly straight forward to directly utils from India Compliance App. There is no restriction.
