Please ensure the following before uploading Inward Supply Register in AccuReco to avoid any validation errors
~ Date of Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes must be entered in the column of date in DD/MM/YYYY format only
~ GSTIN entered must be of 15 digits
~ Text (Place of Supply etc.) must be entered only in the columns specified for it
~ Amount (Value) must be entered in the value fields provided (Taxable Amount and Taxes) and it should not be negative
~ In the column of taxes i.e. CGST, SGST/UTGST and IGST must be mentioned as applicable from the first two digits of the GSTIN
~ Where in some exceptional cases, if IGST is applicable for intra-state supply and CGST and SGST/UTGST are applicable for inter-state supply, then in the 'Place of Supply' column, the state/territory has to be entered as the state/territory other than the registered state/territory of the recipient
~ GSTR-2B uploaded must commensurate with the tax period for which Inward Supply Register is uploaded
~ Upload Excel file(s) of GSTR-2B or Table 8A of GSTR-9 downloaded from the GST Portal as it is, without any manual change in it
~ In Inward Supply Register, the date of the transaction must belong to the current financial year and previous financial year only. Any date prior to the previous financial year shall not be validated in the Inward Supply Register uploaded

Users should be accurate in uploading Inward Supply Register of a tax period corresponding with that of GSTR-2B

Export GSTR-2 from Tally or any other accounting software only after solving all the errors while generating the file(s)

Users are suggested to always go for two rounds of Reconciliation for the same tax period for more accurate results
~ After the first round of Reconciliation, the Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes which are there in the Inward Supply Register (books of accounts), but not reflected in the GSTR-2B of that particular tax period, are automatically reflected in the sheet of ‘Carry Forward Books Records’
~ Similarly, after the first round of Reconciliation, the Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes which are there in the GSTR-2B, but not reflected in the Inward Supply Register (books of accounts) of that particular tax period, are automatically reflected in the sheet of ‘Carry Forward Portal Records’. The Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes which are reflected in GSTR-2B and the ITC of which is either blocked or ineligible or supply is not received or booked, are reflected at ‘Missing in Books’ tab in the Reconciliation Report
~ In the same way, the effect of the sheet of ‘Carry Forward Records’ of the previous tax period is to be given in the current tax period
~ Thereafter, the user should repeat the steps of Reconciliation for more accurate results. The ITC Reconciliation Report generated after this second round will show, if there are any records which remain still in the mismatched category, which are to be added manually to the sheet of ‘Carry Forwarded Records’. In the same way, manual effect is to be given in case of supplies received from Input Service Distributor (ISD)
~ By following this procedure, the user will never lose the track of any Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes and will never miss any eligible ITC. It will also be more convenient for the user to identify the parties for the follow up of pending Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes in GSTR-2B
~ It is to be noted that, if a user has used the mapping feature to upload data for reconciliation, the option to upload file(s) for 'Brought Forward Books Records' and 'Brought Forward Portal Records' will not be available. In such cases, the user will also be unable to carry forward the data to the next tax period
~ It is also crucial to note that, three new extended tabs, namely 'Value wise Matched Records', 'PAN wise Matched Records', and 'Matched Records - Invoice Vs DN', are designed for additional matching from the 'Missing in Books' and 'Missing in Portal' tabs. Records listed in these three tabs do not form part of the main reconciliation result. Moreover, they do not affect the 'Carry Forward Books Records' and 'Carry Forward Portal Records'. Therefore, users are kindly requested to manually review these records for further processing and verification

~ Download the Draft GSTR-2B from the GST Portal on the 14th of the month
~ Reconcile the Draft GSTR-2B with your books using AccuReco to ensure accuracy and identify discrepancies
~ Identify records that need to be either rejected or kept pending
~ Address the rejected and pending records by updating the IMS on the GST Portal with the necessary actions
~ Any records for which no action is taken will be considered accepted by default
~ After reconciling and addressing discrepancies, recompute the GSTR-2B. The objective is to ensure that the ITC in your books matches the ITC as per the recomputed GSTR-2B, except in cases such as:
(i) Items not reflected on the GST Portal (e.g., records not uploaded by suppliers)
(ii) Blocked/Ineligible ITC (which needs to be reversed manually)
(iii) Any other ITC reversals or reclaims that need to be addressed manually
~ File the GSTR-3B. Any pending records will be carried forward to the next period for further action. If any of these records match in the subsequent reconciliation of the next period using the template of 'brought forward portal records', they will be manually accepted on the GST Portal

In ITC Reconciliation Reports, you may notice that some Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes are flagged with the tag 'NOT FOUND AT GST PORTAL'
~ Such errors appears because the Legal Names or Trade Names of the suppliers are not appearing in the template(s) generated from books, the way those names are mentioned in GSTR-2B or Table 8A of GSTR-9
~ To avoid these errors, the users are advised to Download the tool from the ‘Downloads’ Page from our website and save it to a folder in your laptop or desktop computer
~ Open Tally --> Go to Gateway of Tally --> Press Alt + Ctrl + T --> the menu to add on the feature will appear --> Press F4 --> Browse the path of the Addon or copy the path and paste the same here --> the add on file will be added --> Restart Tally. Now the addon feature is successfully added in Tally. Press Ctrl + F and this Addon will work on any screen of Tally. Users are requested to take benefit of this free tally addon feature --> alternatively use our AccuReco Template for avoiding this issue
~ Users are requested to take note that, frequently, technical issues may arise, preventing the proper fetching of GSTR-2B or Table 8A data from the GST portal. Consequently, the names of suppliers may not be accessible through the GSP API facility. In such cases, it is imperative to thoroughly examine and verify the data of GSTR-2B or Table 8A of GSTR-9, as well as the names of suppliers marked as 'NOT FOUND AT GST PORTAL,' before processing further

AccuReco reconciles ITC as per Inward Supply Register with GSTR-2B and not GSTR-2A, because as per the current provisions of the GST Act and Rules, ITC is available only for those Invoices and Debit Notes which are reflected in GSTR-2B. GSTR-2A is dynamic in nature, which keeps on updating, so Reconciliation will have to be done repeatedly
~ While GSTR-2B is static in nature and therefore, Reconciliation with GSTR-2B has to be done only once; GSTR-2A takes 20 minutes to download from the GST Portal
~ In GSTR-2A, there is duplication of Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes i.e., each Invoice, Debit Note and Credit Note is shown as an individual line item as well as in total for different rates of taxes. Moreover, once the supplier uploads the Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes in GSTR-1/IFF on the portal and save them, they start reflecting in GSTR-2A of the recipient, irrespective of the fact, whether the supplier has filed the GSTR-1/IFF or not
~ Such Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes start reflecting in GSTR-2A of the recipient with the flag ‘Not Submitted’ in the column of ‘GSTR-1/IFF/GSTR-5 Filing Status’, which can lead to misunderstanding and there are chances that the recipient will take the ITC of those invoices by mistake. There is no chance of such error in GSTR-2B, as Invoices, Debit Notes and Credit Notes start reflecting in GSTR-2B only when the GSTR-1/IFF is filed by the supplier

Table 8A available on the GST Portal is dynamic in nature up to 30th November of the succeeding financial year, but it becomes static thereafter. Therefore, users are advised to perform ITC Reconciliation using AccuReco post 30th November of the succeeding financial year for better results, while preparing
GSTR-9

AccuReco provides Reconciliation only for Invoices (B2B Sheet and B2BA Sheet), Debit Notes and Credit Notes (CDNR Sheet and CDNRA Sheet). AccuReco does not include Reconciliation for ITC on Imports (IMPG Sheet and IMPGSEZ Sheet), from Input Service Distributors (ISD Sheet and ISDA Sheet), from E-Commerce Operator (ECO Sheet and ECOA Sheet) and ITC Reversal (B2B ITC Reversal, B2BA ITC Reversal, B2B-DNR and B2B-DNRA Sheets)

AccuReco provides 99% accurate results, with 1% possibility of error
~ For example, when more than one record of the same amount is improperly entered in the Books on the same or different dates of a month, the result may not be accurate
~ AccuReco performs reconciliation by comparing any two parameters among GSTIN, Document Number and Date that have the maximum proximity for matching. This may result in not matching some records, as any two parameters may not be closely matched

Make sure that the pop-ups are not blocked in the browser you are using, so that the files to be downloaded are not blocked and can be downloaded smoothly

Subscribers having a single device subscription can use the AccuReco on another device only when they log out from the AccuReco in the previous device. This is because, there is a device limit for users as per their respective subscription packages

The excel template provided by AccuReco itself has the inbuilt feature of detecting and showing the errors in the data entry made. Users are requested to check those errors before uploading the file for further processing
~ Here please note that the cells turning Yello in colour show the data mismatch and the cells turning pink in colour show that the records with same date and document number with different rates of taxes are combined. If you find any isolated row with a cell in pink colour, it indicates that the same invoice is entered erroneously
~ Ignore colour indications in exceptional cases of Place of Supply

Please ensure the following checkpoints before exporting AccuReco Template for Inward Supply from Tally
~ Verify that the GST field is fixed as 'applicable' in all relevant ledgers created for Inward Supplies
~ Ensure that Document Numbers and Dates for Invoices, Debit Notes, and Credit Notes are correctly entered for Inward Supplies
~ Validate that the GST Identification Number (GSTIN) is entered for the registered suppliers where ITC has been recorded in books of accounts
~ Do not manually enter amounts (Taxes) in the Tax fields. Allow the system to calculate Taxes automatically
Note: If any of the above mentioned fields are not entered accurately, the exported file may not provide the correct results. Therefore, it is imperative to adhere to the specified guidelines to ensure the effectiveness of the AccuReco Tally Add-on. Before exporting data, make sure data gets corrected

The data in the columns of month and year in 'AccuReco Template for Inward Supply' is to be entered as per the instructions provided in the Unique Features. If the columns of month and year are found blank by the software, then the software will consider the date of document as month of booking and process the data accordingly

After logging into the GST Portal, navigate to the profile section and activate the API option at Manage API Access for a duration of 30 days. Utilizing this API integration feature, you can download GSTR-2B data without the need for OTP input as long as the session remains active
~ In the event of unavailability or delayed processing of GSP API Services due to frequent technical issues, it is at the user's discretion to manually verify the data before proceeding with any further processing
