Adding HSN/SAC Codes to Invoice Items

  • With a GST table format selected, each line item will now include an HSN/SAC field.

  • Enter the appropriate HSN/SAC code for each product or service.

  • These codes will be displayed on the final invoice for GST compliance.

Previewing and Sending Your GST Invoice

  • After adding all necessary information, preview your invoice to ensure all GST details appear correctly.

  • Send the invoice to your client through your preferred method.

Note: The previous method of enabling GST through a toggle button has been phased out in favor of this more flexible table format approach. This new method allows for greater customization while maintaining compliance with GST regulations.
