Compare GSTR-2A with software details using Saral GST – Step 3
In the third part of this series, we will be looking at how to Compare GSTR-2A data using Saral GST. In our previous steps, we have entered or imported the data and downloaded GSTR-2A. Now we will be comparing GSTR2A.
After downloading GSTR-2A, now we have to compare the details available in GSTR-2A with that entered in Saral GST.
If you are not yet a user of Saral GST, go ahead and explore it here.
You can either go ahead and read the post or watch the videos in which we have shown how to do the processes.
To compare the details, goto GSTR2 -> GSTR-2A Compare.
The screen displayed will show all the data from the GSTR-2A depending on the comparison with the GSTR2 entered details.
Here, Section Type is the display of data based on the category of a transaction from GSTR-2A i.e B2B (Registered Person) and Credit/Debit Note transaction.
On the display of the invoices, the user is required to select the required invoice and approve or disapprove the invoice by setting a Flag and save the information. This, in turn, will be updated on the entry screen and then to GSTN.
The flag is an indicator to GSTN on the type of approval or disapproval from the user. There are various flags depending upon the type of view. The flag updated against the particular invoice will be captured and uploaded to GSTN on JSON upload.
