Match the client's purchase bills against what suppliers reported.

Transcript

Hi, I'm Zuzu. Before claiming input credit, let's check the client's purchase bills against their GSTR-2B.

In GST, open 2B reconciliation.

Choose the company, its GSTIN, and the period. Then click Generate. Bills are sorted into exact match, mismatch, only in 2B, and only in your books.

Document view lists each bill, with what the supplier reported and what you booked. Link, accept, or ignore each one, or write to the supplier about it.
