The Best Methods To Validate Duplicate GST Number In Logic ERP Software

This tutorial demonstrates the methods available in Logic ERP to validate duplicate GST numbers when creating a new account.


Access Account Setup

  • Navigate to the Setup > Setup Accounts and the click on "Setup New Account"

  • At the bottom, use the shortcut key F5 to open the configuration settings.

  • Locate the option labeled as

“Validate Duplicate GST No. As”.

  • You will find two validation methods:

    • Prompt if GST number already exists

    • Do not allow saving if GST number already exists


Method 1: Prompt if GST Number Already Exists

  • Select the option Prompt if GST number already exists.

  • Save the changes.

  • Copy the GST number from an existing account.

  • Create a new account and paste the same GST number.

  • When saving, the system displays a prompt message:

    “GST number already exists for another party. Do you want to continue with the same GST number?”

This method allows flexibility—you can still save the account if required, but with a warning.


Method 2: Do Not Allow Saving if GST Number Already Exists

  • Select the option Do not allow saving if GST number already exists.

  • Save the changes.

  • Create a new account and paste an existing GST number.

  • On saving, the system displays an error message:

    “GST number already exists.”

  • The software blocks the account creation until a unique GST number is entered.

This method enforces strict compliance, ensuring no duplicate GST numbers are allowed.
