How to Copy Old GST Item Groups to a Different Group Level?

In this tutorial, we will learn how to save all GST item groups to another group level and implement the latest GST slab changes.

Note: The upcoming GST update, which revises the tax rate from 12% to 5%, applies only to Pharma and FMCG goods. The allocation for apparel and footwear remains unchanged, as apparel articles will continue to fall under the GST Apparel Group.

Open Setup Item Groups

• Go to the Setup Item Groups module.

• Here, you can view the existing GST Taxes group.

Copy GST Taxes Group to Another Level

• Create a copy of the current GST Taxes group and move it to another group level, for example, Group Level 13.

• Before proceeding, rename the group along with its group level.

  • Right-click on the group → select Rename.

Move Item Groups

• Go to GST Taxes group and select the GST Taxes level.

• Click Refresh.

• Now, go to Other Options → Move Item Groups.

• Select the taxes you want to move and click OK.

• The Item Group Selection window will appear. Select the newly created group and click OK.

• The system will ask for confirmation. Click Yes.

• The item group, along with all its allocated items, has now been successfully moved.

Verify & Maintain GST Groups

• We have successfully copied the current taxes into a group named GST Taxes – Before 22nd September.

• From 22nd September onwards, all subsequent changes will be configured under the current GST Taxes group.

Add a New GST Slab (40%)

• A new 40% GST slab has been introduced for luxury and synthetic goods.

Note: As per recent changes, items under the 12% slab must be shifted to either 5% or 18% slabs.

Deallocate Items from 12% Slab

• Click on GST 12% to view all items under this slab.

• Right-click → select Deallocate Item Groups.

• Click Search, select the items to be removed, and click OK.

Reallocate Items to 5% and 18% Slabs

• For items moving to 5% slab:

  • Right-click on GST 5% → select Allocate Item Groups.

  • Click Search, choose the deallocated items, and click OK.

• For items moving to 18% slab:

  • Right-click on GST 18% → select Allocate Item Groups.

  • Search, select the required items, and click OK.

Verify Changes

• Recheck the GST 12% slab.

• As you can see, no items remain under this category, confirming that all items have been successfully reallocated.

With this, we have learned how to move GST item groups to another level, introduce the new 40% slab, and update items as per the revised GST structure.
