The existing answer covers the core point correctly. A few additions that help in practice:
On e-invoice: Yes, two e-invoices are generated for this 4-party structure , A generates IRN for its sale to B, and C generates IRN for its sale to D. Both transactions go through the IRP portal separately. Neither can skip IRN generation if turnover is above the threshold.
On e-way bill: Only one e-way bill covers the physical movement (A in Odisha to D in Haryana). The responsibility to generate it falls on:
- A (as the consignor dispatching the goods), or
- B or C if they are registered and the value triggers the e-way bill threshold
C can generate the e-way bill for the bill-to-ship-to leg by selecting document type as Tax Invoice and entering the ship-to details as D (Haryana). In that case, A does not need a separate e-way bill for the same consignment.
The key practical rule: whoever generates the e-way bill first covers the movement. The others do not need a duplicate. If A generates, C does not regenerate , but C must ensure the IRN (e-invoice) for its transaction with D is separately filed.
