GST e-invoicing & operations
ERP with GST e-invoicing for Indian SMEs
VisionONE ERP is built for Indian SMEs that need GST e-invoicing in the same system as accounting, inventory, purchasing, manufacturing and payroll. Eligible B2B invoices, credit notes and debit notes are reported to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), and the returned Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and signed QR code are linked to the invoice in VisionONE. E-way bill details are prepared from delivery notes, stock transfers and transporter information. Payroll covers PF, ESI, Professional Tax and salary TDS. Implementation, Tally data migration, training and support come from our Hyderabad team at Mahendra Mindspace, Kavuri Hills, Madhapur.

What you get
GST compliance and growth, in one ERP
GST e-invoice (IRN & QR)
Review the proposed IRP connection for eligible B2B invoices, credit notes and debit notes, including the returned IRN and signed QR code. Use a representative document to confirm required master data, permissions and the posting sequence. Ask how validation failures and rejected documents are reviewed before the team accepts the configured workflow.
E-way bills from dispatch
Assess e-way bill preparation around your delivery notes, stock transfers and transporter information. Identify which movement details are available at dispatch and who checks them. Confirm the applicable requirements and the supported generation or update process for your proposed setup, including the treatment of an exception that requires operational review.
Returns-ready GST data
Review GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B preparation data, HSN summaries and input tax credit reconciliation against your finance team's reporting requirements. Compare a known period with the underlying transactions and document any differences. Agree which outputs the implementation includes and who reviews adjustments and completes the filing process; preparing data is one part of return acceptance.
Statutory payroll
Discuss PF, ESI, Professional Tax and salary TDS requirements alongside payslips and employee self-service. Confirm which rules apply to your employees and locations, the approved payroll inputs and the proposed calculation and review process. Agree responsibility for checking current requirements, statutory outputs, submission and payment within the written service or implementation scope.
Multi-GSTIN, multi-branch
Map your branches, warehouses and GST registrations before evaluating inter-state transfers and consolidated reporting. Identify the legal entity and GSTIN responsible for each transaction; a warehouse location does not by itself establish a separate registration. Demonstrate a representative movement and agree how the configured records, accounts and reports should represent it.
Procurement & inventory
Evaluate purchase approvals, goods receipt, batch or serial tracking and reorder requirements around a representative item. Follow the record from a request to receipt and its effect on stock and accounts. Confirm the approval roles, tracking detail and exception handling required for your business, together with any configuration or integration work included in phase one.
Outgrowing accounting software
Five signs your business needs an ERP, not just accounting software
Accounting packages are built around the books. As you add branches, warehouses and staff, the work around the books (approvals, stock, payroll, e-way bills) moves into spreadsheets and WhatsApp messages. That is where errors and delays start.
You need ERP when…
- Stock numbers differ between branches and the books.
- E-way bills are typed separately from invoices.
- Purchase approvals happen over WhatsApp or email.
- Payroll runs in a separate tool or a spreadsheet.
- Management waits for month-end to see margins.
GST e-invoicing, e-way bills and TDS
Indian compliance checks to plan into your ERP
GST e-invoicing
Eligible B2B invoices are reported to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), which returns a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN), a digitally signed e-invoice and a QR code. From 1 April 2025, businesses with an annual aggregate turnover of ₹10 crore or more must report e-invoices within 30 days of the invoice date.
E-way bills
The NIC e-way bill FAQ says an e-way bill must accompany goods worth more than ₹50,000, and that regular movements get one day of validity for every 200 km or part of it. Plan how each dispatch links to its invoice and movement record.
TDS
List the payments on which your business deducts tax at source, then confirm in your implementation scope how those deductions will be recorded, reviewed and reported.
Moving from Tally
Agree the data scope, keep a restorable backup and rehearse the import before cutover.

ERP in India: frequently asked questions
What is the best ERP with GST e-invoicing for an Indian SME?
The best fit depends on what you need beyond GST. If you mainly need accounts and GST returns, accounting software may be enough. If you need GST e-invoicing together with inventory, purchasing, manufacturing and payroll in one system, shortlist full ERPs and test one real invoice from posting to IRN, QR code and e-way bill. VisionONE ERP is one such option, with implementation and support from our Hyderabad team.
Is GST e-invoicing mandatory for my business?
E-invoicing applies to GST-registered businesses whose aggregate annual turnover has crossed the notified threshold, currently INR 5 crore, in any financial year since 2017-18, subject to exemptions. Check current notifications on the official e-invoice portal and with your tax adviser.
Does VisionONE handle PF, ESI, Professional Tax and TDS?
Yes. VisionONE payroll for India calculates PF, ESI, Professional Tax and salary TDS, with payslips and employee self-service. Confirm the state rules that apply to your employees in your demo.
Does VisionONE support GST e-invoicing and e-way bills?
This page describes eligible B2B invoices, credit notes and debit notes reported to the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), with the returned IRN and signed QR code, and e-way bill preparation around delivery notes, stock transfers and transporter information. Confirm the current version, prerequisites and exception handling in your demo. See also the GST e-invoicing page and the e-way bill dispatch guide.
We use accounting software today. What does VisionONE add?
Assess the connections you need between accounts, inventory, purchase approvals, payroll and management reporting. Follow a transaction between departments and compare the result with your current process. Use the data migration checklist to identify the masters, opening balances and reconciliation checks needed for your proposed first phase. Confirm supported scope before assuming every current workflow or historical record will move unchanged.
Does VisionONE generate GST e-invoices automatically?
Discuss the IRP integration proposed for your eligible documents and confirm its prerequisites in the project scope. Ask the demonstration team to show invoice data, the IRP response, the IRN and signed QR output, followed by a validation failure that needs review. Agree the posting and recovery process before describing generation as automatic for every transaction.
Who needs GST e-invoicing in India?
The mandate generally covers notified registered persons whose aggregate turnover exceeded ₹5 crore in a preceding financial year from 2017-18 onwards, subject to the notified exemptions and covered transactions. The separate IRP reporting restriction applies to AATO of ₹10 crore and above from 1 April 2025: invoices, credit notes and debit notes must be reported within 30 days of their date. Review the GSTN e-invoice guidance and confirm your entity's applicability before configuration. Sources checked 2 November 2026.
Can VisionONE handle multiple GSTINs?
Evaluate the proposed multi-GSTIN setup against your actual legal entities, registrations, branches and warehouses. Ask the team to demonstrate an inter-state transaction and the resulting reports. Agree which registration owns each document and how consolidation is defined; do not assume that every warehouse requires or holds its own GSTIN.
Is support available in Indian business hours?
Confirm the support hours, time zone, responsible team and escalation route in your written proposal. Include implementation, training and the initial go-live period in that discussion. Agree the handover arrangements and how work outside the supported scope or coverage period will be handled before relying on a particular service schedule.
