Einvoive and EWB for Export Return not handled correctly

Hi @Smit_Vora

When generating a einvoice/ewb for an export return, the supply type and sub-supply type values are not mentioned correctly. This leads to einv getting generated but ewb fails. Even generating EWB separately doesn’t work as it’s not handled.

I am not sure if EWB for export/export return/import/import return can be generated with Einvoice but at least it should work on separate call.

Currently, in while generating EWB, the doctype = BIL, SupplyType = I, SubSupplyType = 3 (which is export)

As per official mapping doc, this combination is invalid. The only value allowed is doctype = BOE, SupplyType = I, SubSupplyType = 2 (which is import).

@Smit_Vora, were you able to check the validity of this issue? Bumping up as it prevents return invoicing.

Hi,

This is one case that’s not handled.
It’s because we too were not clear if export returns should be classified as import in purchase or how it’s documented.

Could you please help us understand the actual workflow, and expectations?
Will you not be required to pay duties on export return (just like imports)?
