Credit note and resale of goods for which credit note was issues

Hello All,

We are into textile manufacuring, and almost 100% of my sales is bill to ship to basis as the cloth from our factory goes to dyeing house from processing. We are in a situation wherein sometimes goods are returned/not accepted by the buyer but goods have reached dyeing house. 

So the situation is that i sold goods to party ABC and shipped it to dyeing house PQR, after quality test party ABC rejected our goods, now the goods are lying the dyeing house PQR, so I contact party XYZ and convince him to buy the goods, party XYZ agrees for the same and I issue an bill to ship to invoice without eway to the new party i.e party XYZ cause goods are in the dyeing house & there is no movement of goods, and i also issue credit note to party ABC.  

Now the officer is saying how can you take credit of gst cause ewaybill was not issued when i issued the credit note, buyer XYZ will also feel insecure as his purchase is without ewaybill number.

What to do in such a situation ? There is no moment of goods in this resale, hence ewaybill is not applicable. Also we issue e-invoice as our turnover is above 5cr.

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a complex scenario for a textile manufacturer where goods were sold on a bill-to-ship-to basis, subsequently rejected by the buyer, and then resold to a new party without an e-way bill.
