Single company with Multiple GSTIN setup

Hi, I have a company A with separate GST number in multiple states(i.e. all under one PAN) for which we file separate gst returns. I wanted to know what is the best practice to map that in ERPNext.

https://docs.frappe.io/erpnext/user/manual/en/stock-transfer-with-gst

I have studied above blog, but the UI and workflow is outdated compared to V16 as this blog is 6 years old.

Do we have any new process to follow?

How to do interstate transfers in this process?

How to manage if there is Reverse charge mechanism?

Hi,

The workflow is same today.
It is irrespective of intrastate or interstate transfers.

Are you saying you have RCM transactions when billing self?
Still, the workflow won’t change. You can make a sale and purchase with RCM.

Hi,

I did the settings. Removed default tax accounts as we have created specific accounts for each state won’t be using default accounts.

But now in item tax templates. it is showing me error:

Missing GST Accounts: Output Tax CGST - FRS, Output Tax SGST - FRS, Output Tax IGST - FRS, Output Tax CGST RCM - FRS, Output Tax SGST RCM - FRS, Output Tax IGST RCM - FRS, Input Tax CGST - FRS, Input Tax SGST - FRS, Input Tax IGST - FRS, Input Tax CGST RCM - FRS, Input Tax SGST RCM - FRS, Input Tax IGST RCM - FRS

State wise gst accounts are not supported in the India Compliance App.

India Compliance supports GST Accounts specified in the GST Settings only.

I am confused. As per below blog, I concluded that ERPNext supports multiple GSTIN for 1 company.

Now, you are saying that India Compliance app does not support multiple GST.

Is there a workaround on how we can use multiple gstin as my company has 1 gstin in many states. I believe this is a very standard requirement as most large businesses have more than 1 gstin in multiple states.

Please help with below queries:

  1. Where will India compliance app will affect ERPNext multiple gstin setup?
  2. I believe it will affect einvoicing, eway integration and return filing. Can you please confirm.
  3. Is there a workaround to do things manually ?
  4. Can we expect this feature into the app? anytime soon? as we plan to go live this April ?

Multiple GSTINs are supported, but maintaining different accounts for different GSTINs is not supported.

Having separate accounts is the recommended approach in frappe guide itself and we configuered the system based on it.

@Smit_Vora confirmed that workflow is same as listed in frappe blog.

I don’t see any step by step guide on India Compliance page for multiple gstin setup. There is only one for single gst setup: Configuring GST in ERPNext | India Compliance

Can you please help provide a guide for me and future users who have multiple gstin setup. We can connect also, if you need my help with data or anything like changes in tax category, tax templates etc are those required ?

Can you please confirm again whose approach is the recommended approach ? ERPNext? or India Compliance app?

There is a very simple difference between intra-company and inter-company transactions.
Similar setup can be used for intra-company transactions as well.

I am sorry, I did not go into details, but it’s an old article.

To keep it short: you need to setup different customers and suppliers as suggested there (allowing them to transact with the same company which they represent). This allows intra-company transactions. However, separate setup of accounts (by branch) is not required.

We’ll update the above article.

Hi team,

As recommended, I have 10 GST, 10 customers and 10 suppliers representing each.

When I check internal supplier for 1st supplier it gets assigned, but for all remaining it gives error.

Internal Supplier for company A already exists

Can you guide with the inter company process documentation ?

Ok, Found the issue.
You have to create 1 supplier, 1 customer and 10 GSTIN addresses to it. Then check that 1 supplier with internal supplier and 1 customer with internal customer respectively.
