This discussion addresses a common GST query where credit notes issued in January 2020 resulted in a negative net sales figure for that month. The user is seeking advice on how to report this negative sales figure in GSTR-3B, as there's no direct option for it. The suggested solution is to report the excess figure in the next GSTR-3B return and adjust it against future sales until the balance is cleared.

We reversed some invoices raised against previous months. During Jan.20 GSTR-1 we showed under credit note details. Jan.20 we raised some invoices, ultimately net sales figure for the month is coming as negative for the month of Jan.20. But in GSTR-3B no option for showing negative sales. Please advise how to resolve this issue.
