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.
