This discussion clarifies the correct procedure for uploading e-invoices when the commercial invoice date precedes the shipping bill date, especially for export sales. It confirms that even if the e-invoice is uploaded on a later date, it should reflect the original commercial invoice date and will be accounted for in the GSTR-1 of the month corresponding to the commercial invoice date, not the upload date.
In case of Export Sales if the commercial invoice date is 31.Jul.22 but the final shipping bill LEO copy is recd on Late night 31.Jul.22 and so if E-Invoice is uploaded on 01st of AUG 2022, mentioning invoice date as 31.Jul22 & shipping bill date as 31.JUL.22
Q- What that be correct way of uploading E-Invoice ? Q- Will the above Sales invoice reflect in July Month GSTR-1 or Aug Month GSTR-1 ?
