Main Users Grant Sub-Users Access to e-Invoices and EWB Management


Quick Summary
The GST e-Invoice System has introduced a significant update allowing main users to grant sub-users access to manage e-Invoices and e-Way Bills (EWBs). This new feature enables main users to delegate tasks like viewing, cancelling, and generating EWBs to their sub-users. By selecting the 'Access to the IRNs of the Main User' option and specifying permissions, businesses can improve efficiency and allow main users to focus on other critical operations.

The GST, e-Invoice System issued an update on August 9, 2023, stating that sub-users can now access e-Invoices generated by the main user and perform View/Cancel/Generate EWB. This is a welcome change, as it will allow businesses to delegate e-Invoice generation and management tasks to sub-users, freeing up the main user to focus on other tasks.

The official announcement is as follows

Sub-Users Gain Access to e-Invoice and EWB Management

Now sub-users can access e-Invoices generated by the main user and perform View/Cancel/Generate EWB. The main user can select Update Sub-user option as shown in the below screen.

Select the sub-user from the list. A new option ‘Access to the IRNs of the Main User’ is provided. In case, the main user wants to give access to IRNs generated by him to the sub-user then he can select ‘Yes’ to this option. Note that along with this, one or all options such as Cancel, View report and e-Waybill generation need to be provided. For example, if Enable Access to IRNs of main user is selected as ‘Yes’ and Enable e-Invoice Cancellation is selected as Yes then sub-user can cancel the IRNs generated by Main user also.
