Portal hopping
Your team keys the same invoice into ERPNext, then the IRP, then the e-way bill portal, three times over.
GST compliance that runs inside your invoice
Generate e-invoices with IRN and QR code, raise e-way bills, file GSTR returns and deduct TDS without leaving ERPNext. The open-source India Compliance app connects your books straight to the GST and NIC portals, so compliance happens as you bill, not at the deadline.

The compliance headaches this removes
Indian GST is unforgiving. A missed IRN or a mismatched return is not a nuisance; it is a penalty.
Compliance that happens as you bill
The India Compliance app connects ERPNext to the government GST and NIC APIs, so the statutory steps run from the same screen your team already uses.
Compliance automation
IRN, QR code and e-way bill are raised the moment a Sales Invoice is submitted, automatically, manually or in bulk, with full logs for audit.
Outcome: auto-raised on submit.
Tax filing
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are prepared from your books, and GSTR-2A or 2B is reconciled against purchases to protect input tax credit.
Outcome: clean, matched returns.
Invoice validation
GSTINs are checked against the government API in real time, and HSN, place of supply and tax templates are validated before an invoice goes out.
Outcome: verified before dispatch.

E-invoicing: IRN and QR code from the invoice itself
Submit a Sales Invoice and ERPNext sends it to the Invoice Registration Portal, then stores the IRN, acknowledgement number and signed QR code and prints them on the GST invoice, with no separate portal login. IRN cancellation is supported within the 24-hour window.

Sent to the Invoice Registration Portal, which returns the IRN, ack and signed QR.
NIC
E-way bill
Generated on the NIC portal, combined with the IRN in one step.
GSTN
GSTR flow
Data flows to GSTR-1, and GSTR-2B is reconciled against purchases.
Outcome
Filed & clean
Invoicing
E-way bill
GSTR prepared
TDS ready
Connected via a GSP: the India Compliance app talks to the government IRP, NIC and GSTN APIs through a GST Suvidha Provider, configured during setup.
What clean compliance is worth
The exact gains depend on your invoice volume and current process. These are the outcomes a good rollout targets.
No portal double entry
The invoice is keyed once in ERPNext and flows to the IRP, NIC and GSTN on its own.
Zero missed IRNs
IRN generation on submission and exception reports mean no B2B invoice ships without cover.
Full input tax credit
GSTR-2B reconciliation catches every eligible credit, so ITC stops leaking away.
Fewer penalties
Valid documents, matched returns and on-time filing keep penalties off the table.
The questions finance heads ask
Honest answers about e-invoicing, portal downtime, high volume, pricing and multi-state setup.
It is generated inside ERPNext. The India Compliance app sends the invoice data to the IRP through a GSP and brings back the IRN, acknowledgement and signed QR, which are stored on the invoice and printed automatically. Your team does not log into the e-invoice portal to key invoices in.
The law allows invoicing to continue during portal downtime, with the IRN obtained once it is back. ERPNext can queue failed invoices and retry them, and exception reports show anything still pending, so nothing is quietly missed.
Yes. Bulk IRN and e-way bill generation processes hundreds or thousands of invoices in a batch, with status dashboards showing successes, failures and the specific error reasons to fix.
The India Compliance app is free and open source, so there is no per-invoice fee on the application layer. You do need GSP and IRP credentials, and any GSP charges are separate and depend on the provider you choose.
Yes. Masters, tax templates, HSN and SAC codes, place of supply rules and multiple company GSTINs are configured to match how you operate, including interstate, intrastate, export and SEZ scenarios.
