If an e-invoice has successfully generated an IRN but failed to auto-populate in your GSTR-1, you do not need to wait for an update. You can manually enter the invoice details into the B2B section (Table 4) of your GSTR-1 before filing. Auto-population is a convenience, not a requirement for the invoice's validity.

Dear Experts, E-Invoice raised on 21st August'23 and also the IRN is successfully generated. But the auto population is failed. Now can i manually add the invoice in GSTR1 B2B Section?

You need not wait: if an IRN-generated invoice hasn't auto-populated, you can enter it manually in GSTR-1 Table 4 before filing — auto-population is only a facility, and the invoice remains valid.

If an IRN-generated invoice hasn't flowed into GSTR-1 by the time you file, you can add it manually in Table 4A with the same number, date and values (GSTN's e-invoice FAQs allow this); check the e-invoice auto-population status download in GSTR-1 first to avoid a duplicate entry.
