The GSTR-1 Vs E-Invoice reconciliation process involves comparing the outward supply data reported in your GSTR-1 return with the invoices generated on the e-invoice portal.
This process helps ensure that all invoices uploaded in the e-invoice system are correctly reflected in GSTR-1, and any missing or mismatched invoices can be identified easily.
Enable E-Invoice Option First:
- Before starting reconciliation, you must ensure that the E-Invoice option is enabled for the selected company.
- To enable this feature, go to the Company Settings module from the main menu. Locate the company you want to update and click Edit.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the settings page, where you will find the Enable E-Invoice option. Turn it on and click Save.
Note: Without enabling this option, you won’t be able to see E-invoice related reports and download or reconcile E-invoice data for the company.
How to Access the GSTR-1 Vs E-Invoice Reconciliation Feature:
- On the My Company page, click the Reports button, then click on the Sales section and select “GSTR-1 v E-Invoice”.
Begin the reconciliation process:
- On the reconciliation page, you will see two sections named GSTR-1 Data and E-Invoice Data.
- Select the return period range from the top right month and year section fields.

Upload GSTR-1 Data:

Download E-Invoice Data from the portal:

- Again, ensure the correct portal credentials are added before downloading.
Continue to Data Overview:
