Advanced e-Way Bill Management: Automatic Pin-to-Pin Distance Retrieval

In the dynamic business environment of today, maintaining compliance is crucial for growth and success. As businesses expand, simplifying GST compliance becomes key to ensuring smooth operations. With the latest release of TallyPrime, significant enhancements have been made to streamline GST and eWay bill management while ensuring accuracy and flexibility.

One of the essential components of e-Way bill generation is providing the actual distance between the source and destination. If the pin-to-pin distance is left blank or set to zero, the portal auto-calculates the distance. However, this automatic calculation often doesn't reflect in the invoice or the printed eWay bill annexure, which can lead to discrepancies in documentation. Currently, businesses must manually enter this data in the e-Way bill sub-form to ensure it appears in the printed eWay bill.

With the latest update in TallyPrime, this issue is resolved. The system now automatically retrieves the pin-to-pin distance, ensuring accurate distance calculation. This update eliminates the need for manual corrections and saves valuable time, streamlining your operations.

Seamless Support for Material In-and-Out Transactions

For businesses engaged in continuous material movement, ensuring compliance with e-Way bill protocols is essential. TallyPrime provides seamless support for e-Way bills in material in and out transactions, especially for businesses involved in job work. Whether you're sending materials for job work or receiving materials from a job worker, this enhancement simplifies the process, allowing you to focus on improving productivity rather than managing compliance.

Accurate e-Way Bill Generation for Export Invoices

Exporting goods requires meticulous attention to documentation. It's vital to generate accurate eWay bills to ensure smooth customs clearance. One common challenge is correctly specifying the state and PIN code for export invoices. TallyPrime now enables businesses to generate eWay bills for export invoices with accurate state and PIN codes, ensuring hassle-free export processes and smooth business operations.

Simplified GST Returns: Enhanced Flexibility and Control

TallyPrime's latest update offers greater flexibility in managing GST compliance. Changes to master data that might conflict with transactions no longer trigger automatic re-computation. Instead, users can now consciously update the GST status of affected vouchers when needed, ensuring more control over the process. This update is specific to the relevant return period, allowing for time-efficient updates without unnecessary disruptions.

How does it work?
When conflicts arise due to changes in GST status in the master data, affected transactions in the return period are marked as ‘Optional Uncertain’. This ensures that return values remain unchanged, and users can choose when to act on these transactions.

In case these transactions are left unaddressed, TallyPrime’s enhanced error-prevention mechanism will alert users about ‘optional uncertainties’ during GST tasks like uploads, e-way bill generation, and e-invoicing. This proactive approach minimizes errors and supports better decision-making.

Bulk Conversion of B2B Invoices to B2C: Simplified Handling of Invalid GSTINs

Dealing with invalid GSTIN statuses is now easier. TallyPrime introduces a new bulk conversion feature that allows businesses to quickly convert multiple B2B invoices to B2C. This is particularly useful when numerous transactions are marked invalid due to inactive GSTINs.

By enabling this feature, TallyPrime resolves voucher errors efficiently and ensures smoother data exchange with GSTN. Moreover, the validation and conversion processes are integrated with GSTR-1, preventing errors and rejections before data submission. This improvement significantly enhances accuracy and reduces delays.

Annual GSTR-1 Export Capability: Effortless Reporting and Reconciliation

TallyPrime now supports exporting annual GSTR-1 returns for any period, whether monthly, quarterly, or annual. This flexibility is a significant step forward for businesses managing their annual compliance.

In addition to the usual annual exports, this feature simplifies GST data reconciliation for any period, streamlining audits and reporting. With this update, businesses can manage reporting effortlessly and stay on top of their compliance requirements without added complexity.

Support for GSTR-2B API Version 4: Staying Ahead of Compliance Standards

TallyPrime has been updated to support the latest GSTR-2B API Version 4, ensuring seamless integration with GSTN and aligning businesses with the latest compliance standards. This update keeps you up-to-date with the most recent regulatory changes.

Other Noteworthy Changes: Enhancements for a Smoother Onboarding Experience

TallyPrime's latest release also includes several updates designed to simplify GST management and ensure a smooth onboarding experience for pre-release 3.0 customers:

• Quick GST Migration Setup: The migration process has been made more adaptable, offering users greater flexibility in configuring settings based on their business needs:
  • Flexible Voucher Numbering: Users can now select whether to retain existing voucher numbering or renumber vouchers during migration, allowing for better alignment with current business practices.
  • HSN Applicability Setup: During migration, users can set HSN summary applicability for B2C transactions or all sections as needed. Additionally, they can specify the minimum HSN length as 4, 6, or 8 digits, categorizing transaction statuses as ‘Included’ or ‘Uncertain’ based on specific needs.
• Enhanced Transaction Status Handling: Transactions marked with statuses such as “Accepted as Is” or “Ignore Validation” will now remain “Included” unless there is a specific change to their GST properties. Previously, these transactions were marked as “Uncertain” when resaved, even if the returns were filed or signed. The latest release ensures such transactions remain unchanged, eliminating the need to re-verify past returns and ensuring smoother transaction handling.
