HSN Code Not Displayed in Sales/Purchase Invoices & Reports

[Phoenix_Scans]

Hello @lubos,

I am using Manager.io (Version 25.3.20.2180) for business transactions in India, where HSN/SAC codes are a crucial part of invoicing and tax reporting. However, I have noticed a few issues related to HSN codes while using the software.

Issues Details:

1. HSN Code Exists in Inventory Item but Doesn’t Auto-Fill in Invoices

   • When creating an Inventory Item, there is a dedicated field to input the HSN/SAC Code (as shown in the screenshot).
   • However, while creating a sales or purchase invoice, the HSN code does not automatically appear in the corresponding column, requiring manual entry each time.
   • This increases the chances of errors and inconsistency.

2. HSN Code Not Displaying in Generated Invoices

   • Even after manually entering the HSN code in the invoice, it is not reflected in the final invoice printout.
   • This is a compliance issue since GST invoices in India require the HSN/SAC Code to be displayed along with the item details.

3. Tax Summary Report Lacks HSN Code and Item Name

   • Currently, the Tax Summary report is generated based only on the Tax Code.
   • It would be much more useful if the Item Name and HSN Code were included in the report.
   • This enhancement would greatly help in tax filing and reporting.

Proposed Enhancements:

1. Auto-fill the HSN Code in Sales/Purchase Invoices when an item is selected from the inventory.
2. Ensure that the HSN Code is displayed in the final invoice printout.
3. Modify the Tax Summary report to include the HSN Code and Item Name for better clarity and compliance.

Could you please confirm if there is any existing workaround for these issues? If not, would it be possible to implement these changes in a future update?

Looking forward to your support!

Thank you.

Creating multiple topics on the same matter is not the best.

Anyway, that default field does not work, you must create a new Custom Field.

Create a custom field for example ‘HSN’

Notice I added inventory to the Placement list because I have to enter the HSN code for the inventory item and the lines will pick it up for transaction documents. See picture below:

It will automatically populate the HSN code when selected for transactions

The default tax reports do not match your specific tax report format. After implementing this, check if you can use it to create a Custom Report that is similar to your requested report or can help you easily generate it on a spreadsheet.

Hi @Abeiku,
Thank you for your time and reply also I researched the forum for similar topic but couldn’t find an understandable solution, and one of the moderators suggested creating a new topic

This topic here.

Also thank you for elaborating the solution in details. If possible can you tell me how to generate the report in the format mentioned in the screenshot? (Towards the end)

Looking forward to your support!

Thank you

@Phoenix_Scans is this report an official Indian GST official report? If yes kindly send proof.

I don’t believe the current reporting structure of the custom reports tool can fully provide the information you’re looking for, including generating a net tax position.

@lubos Perhaps report transformations could be improved to display item-wise tax reporting in the format needed by Indian and other users?

[Phoenix_Scans]

The format I mentioned above is not the exact template for the official filing the GST. The format differ based on the type of trasaction like:

1. B2B Suppliers
   

   
   
   Registered Supplier
   
   

2. B2C
   

   

3. Reverse Charge

These are some of the major cases and the templates provided by the GST authorities. The one format I suggested above is for generic purposes

Thank for your time @Abeiku and the consideration you put to answer my queries.

Also, @lubos if we can implement these report generation in Manager we will be able capture more clients in Indian market

@lubos Also, there are some additional Fields in Indian localised version of manager for example

Can we use this to generate custom report for regulatory purpose?
