Before entering either voucher, configure the company, party, sales or purchase ledger, stock or service details, HSN/SAC, tax rates, and applicable GST ledgers. Then enter the invoice details, choose the tax ledgers that match the transaction and place of supply, review the tax calculation, and save with Ctrl+A.
The paths below follow TallyHelp’s sales guide last updated May 21, 2026, purchase guide last updated March 10, 2026, and ledger setup guide last updated September 1, 2026. Keyboard paths and labels can vary by TallyPrime release.
Set up GST details before entering vouchers
TallyPrime calculates voucher tax from the details configured in your company and accounting masters. Check these before relying on automatic HSN/SAC, rate, and ledger selection. TallyHelp’s sales setup guidance, purchase guidance, and ledger setup instructions describe the relevant configuration.
- Company: Enter the company’s GST registration details.
- Customer or supplier: Set up the party master with its relevant GST details.
- Sales or purchase ledger: Use a ledger configured as applicable to GST. For a purchase subject to reverse charge, configure that treatment where required.
- Stock item or service: Set the relevant GST details, including HSN or SAC and the applicable rate, at the appropriate master level.
- Tax ledgers: Create the relevant CGST, SGST/UTGST, IGST, and Cess ledgers for the transactions you record.
Details may be configured at different master levels, and TallyHelp describes transaction-level overrides where needed. Correct setup helps the software calculate the voucher; it does not establish which rate, exemption, place-of-supply treatment, or input tax credit applies to your transaction.
#1 Best Overall
Choose the invoice mode that fits the transaction
| Voucher | Item Invoice | Accounting Invoice |
|---|---|---|
| Sales | Use for stock items when entering quantities and rates. | Use for a service ledger and amount. |
| Purchase | Use for stock items when entering quantities and rates. | Use for a service ledger and amount. |
To change invoice mode while entering a voucher, press Ctrl+H and select the appropriate mode. The right choice depends on how the transaction is represented in your books and configured chart of accounts; businesses with mixed or unusual transactions should follow those records rather than force a simple goods-or-services distinction.
Record a sales invoice with GST
- Open Alt+G (Go To) > Create Voucher > F8 (Sales). Press Ctrl+H and choose Item Invoice if you are entering stock items.
- Enter the voucher number and date, select the buyer, and fill in buyer, dispatch, order, and place-of-supply details as applicable.
- Select the GST-applicable sales ledger. In Item Invoice mode, add each stock item with its quantity and rate. In Accounting Invoice mode, select the service ledger and enter the amount.
- Select the tax ledgers that match the transaction: TallyHelp’s standard workflow uses CGST + SGST/UTGST for local sales and IGST for interstate sales. Add Cess where it applies. The guide describes a local sale by reference to the supplier’s location and place of supply being in the same state.
- Press Alt+A to open Tax Analysis and Alt+F5 to inspect the detailed tax breakup. Correct any unexpected details, then press Ctrl+A to save.
TallyHelp says an invoice can include multiple stock items or service ledgers, with GST details shown for each entry. HSN/SAC and rates can flow from the relevant setup, subject to transaction-level override where needed. See the TallyHelp sales workflow for its voucher instructions.

Record a purchase invoice with GST
- Open Alt+G (Go To) > Create Voucher > F9 (Purchase). Press Ctrl+H and choose the invoice mode you need.
- Enter the supplier invoice number and date exactly as shown on the supplier’s document, then select the supplier. Add place-of-supply and other receipt, dispatch, order, or import details as applicable.
- Select the GST-applicable purchase ledger. In Item Invoice mode, enter stock items, quantities, and rates. In Accounting Invoice mode, select the service ledger and enter the amount.
- Select CGST + SGST/UTGST or IGST according to the transaction and place of supply, adding Cess if applicable. Do not choose a tax treatment solely from the supplier’s location; confirm the transaction’s correct place of supply and treatment.
- Press Alt+A for Tax Analysis and Alt+F5 for the detailed breakup. Check the result, then press Ctrl+A to save.
TallyPrime also provides a GST invoice portal view for purchase entries and can show GST Status and IMS Action Status. Those product statuses do not by themselves establish that a purchase qualifies for input tax credit. Refer to TallyHelp’s purchase workflow for the documented entry steps.

The key tax-ledger choice is local versus interstate: TallyHelp’s standard instructions direct users to CGST plus SGST/UTGST for local transactions and IGST for interstate transactions. The place of supply and the facts of the transaction determine the correct treatment; use the applicable tax rule rather than assuming the software can decide it from a party record alone. Cess should be included only where it applies. TallyHelp’s purchase guide and sales guide show the corresponding voucher workflow.
- Confirm the buyer or supplier and invoice particulars.
- Check the HSN/SAC, quantity or amount, and applicable rate against the transaction and your configured masters.
- Inspect Tax Analysis and the detailed breakup for the expected tax ledgers and totals before saving.
A saved voucher is an accounting entry, not a standalone determination of statutory filing obligations, tax liability, or input tax credit entitlement. Resolve uncertain tax treatment using transaction-specific authoritative guidance or a qualified tax professional.
