We are facing a clarification requirement related to ERPNext Indian Compliance and the behaviour of GSTR-3B reporting for Purchase Invoices. Requesting your guidance on the following scenarios:
Case 1: Supplier Files GST Return in a Later Month
-
A Purchase Invoice is created in October.
-
The supplier files their GST return in November, and the invoice reflects in GSTR-2B of November.
-
Expected behaviour:
The invoice should be considered in November’s GSTR-3B report, as ITC becomes available only when the supplier files the return. -
Current behaviour observed:
The invoice is appearing in October’s GSTR-3B report.
Query:
How does ERPNext handle such cases where the invoice date and supplier return filing month differ? Is there a standard or recommended way to defer ITC to the correct month?
Case 2: Supplier Has Not Filed GST Return
-
A Purchase Invoice is created in October.
-
The supplier has not yet filed the GST return, and the invoice is not available in GSTR-2B.
-
Expected behaviour:
The invoice should not be considered in GSTR-3B until the supplier files the return. -
Current behaviour observed:
The invoice is still getting included in the GSTR-3B report.
Query:
Is there a system-level control or configuration in ERPNext to exclude such invoices from GSTR-3B until they are reflected in GSTR-2B or marked as eligible for ITC?
