In this article, we will help you understand how you can Tally Invoicing and create debt note in Tally with Masters India:

How Does Masters India Integrate With Tally?

Tally is known to be one of the simplest ERPs in business. To ensure that this simplicity is not compromised, we have developed a simple Tally Patch using Masters India’s APIs to cover the e-Invoicing, and E-Way Bill needs, end-to-end. As a one-time effort, this patch needs to be installed into the system of the users. Our team of well trained and experienced integrators will take care of the installation of the patch. Once the patch is installed, users can generate Tally Billing like e-Invoices and e-Way Bills (EWB) directly from their Tally ERP within seconds and a single click. The patch/APIs will do the required communications with the Invoice Registration Portal at the backend.

How To Generate E-Invoices In Tally?

After the preliminary set-up of the Tally patch (by our experts), users can generate e-Invoices themselves. The process is simplified to bits so that there is no hand-holding required. However, in case any assistance is needed, we are always there! The 2 simple steps here are:

Step 1: Raise regular Tax Invoice on Tally and click on ‘Yes’ to accept the invoice.

Step 2: When the user selects ‘Yes’, a pop-up will be displayed. This pop-up asks the user if he/she wishes to generate e-Invoice. Click on ‘Yes’.

Once the user selects ‘Yes’, the APIs will take the required data from the ERP and transmit it to the IRP over a secured network. The IRN number, QR code and signed e-Invoice will be generated by the IRP (if details are valid) and sent back to the Tally ERP within seconds. The users do not have to do anything here as the entire process is automated.

How To View And Cancel E-Invoices In Tally?

Once the e-Invoice is generated, users can view or cancel the e-Invoice from the ERP itself. To view an e-Invoice: Open the desired document (Invoice) in Tally and click on ‘View E-Invoice’.

The e-Invoice (in Government prescribed format) in PDF format is downloaded. To view e-Invoice report and cancel e-Invoices:

Step 1: On the Tally Gateway, select ‘E-Invoice’.

Step 2: Click on ‘Uploaded E-Invoice’.

All the generated e-Invoices will be visible here. To cancel the invoice, under ‘Uploaded E-Invoice’ select the desired e-Invoice and click on ‘Cancel E-Invoice’ or Alt+C.

Here, the reason for the cancellation has to be entered.

Once the invoice is cancelled, it will be visible in the ‘Cancelled E-Invoice’ bucket.
