## PARTY GST STATE CODE CANNOT BE DIFFERENT FROM COMPANY GST STATE CODE

In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through resolving a common error that occurs when saving a Sale Bill — **"Party GST State and Company/Branch GST State cannot be same for IGST."** This error typically arises due to a mismatch between the GST State Codes of the company and the customer (party).

***

### **Understanding the Error**

* The error is triggered when:
  * The **Company’s GST State Code** and the **Party’s GST State Code** are the same.
  * But the **Tax Region** selected is **IGST**, which is applicable **only for interstate transactions**.
* In such cases, the software prevents you from saving the bill until the inconsistency is corrected.

***

### Detailed Resolution Guide

### **Step 1: Create a Sale Bill**

* Navigate to **Billing** and create a new "**Sale Bill".**
* Enter the **Account Name** and add at least one item to the bill.
* Attempt to save the bill — the error will be displayed if the GST codes conflict.

### **Step 2: Verify Company’s GST State Code**

* Log Out from the Current Company.
* Navigate to the **Manage Company**.
* Select your company and click on **Edit**.
* Under **Details Tab**, verify that the **State Code** is entered correctly.

### **Step 3: Check Party’s GST State Code**

* Return to the **Sale Bill window**.
* Edit the **Party Details** by pressing "**F6"** Key.
* Confirm that the party is marked as an **interstate customer** (i.e., their state code is different from the company).

* If both have the same state code, this would be considered an **intrastate transaction**, and **IGST should not be selected**.

**Step 4: Verify and Update Tax Region**

* In the bill, check the **Tax Region** selected.
* If the party is interstate:
  * The Tax Region should be set to **IGST**.

* If the party is intrastate:
  * The Tax Region should be set to **CGST/SGST**.
* Make the appropriate selection based on the GST state codes.

**Step 5: Save the Bill Again**

* After correcting the **Tax Region**, try saving the bill again.
* The bill should now be saved without errors.

***

#### **Still Facing Issues?**

* If the issue persists:
  * Recheck both GST state codes and Tax Region settings.
  * If everything seems correct but the error continues, you may raise a support ticket.
  * Our support team will assist you at the earliest.
