Buyer GSTIN I should type where

Sikar. Copper and adda. My shop is mobiles, but the factory people come for bulk power banks and a few phones for staff.

A purchase uncle sent his GSTIN on WhatsApp. Long. 15 characters. I was filling GST invoice draft fast. Buyer name I typed. GSTIN I pasted in the first GSTIN box I saw.

That box was mine. Seller. Shop. I overwrote my own GSTIN with his. Then I also left buyer GSTIN empty. Paper looked like the factory is selling phones to someone. Or like my shop GSTIN is the factory. I still cannot explain the look. Uncle sent it back with four question marks.

Buyer GSTIN I should type where, what actually happened

Now I do a slow ritual. Seller GSTIN. My shop. Always mine. I saved it in notes. Copy from notes. Not from the last WhatsApp.

Buyer GSTIN. The customer who is registered. Paste in buyer. Not in seller. Not in the item HSN. Not in the invoice number.

This sounds like I am treating you like a child. I am treating myself. I mixed these three times in one summer.

BillOnDesk is a form. Fields have names. I did not read names. I saw a GSTIN box and dumped the number. There can be two GSTIN boxes. Two. Seller and buyer.

If the customer is a walk-in student, buyer GSTIN I leave blank. I do not put my GSTIN there to make the bill look full. Full is not the goal. Correct is the goal.

If I put my GSTIN as buyer, it looks like I sold to myself. CA made a joke. I did not laugh.

If I put a random GSTIN from google so the customer can claim credit, that is fraud. I will not. Factory uncle has his own. Student has none. None is okay on a draft for a walk-in.

I do not check GSTIN live on this site. Site does not talk to GSTN. BillOnDesk is not GSTN. No hologram. No government tick. If the number is one digit wrong, the site may still print. I count 15. I read the state code at the start. Rajasthan ones I have seen start a certain way. If a Bihar customer is in Sikar for a day, his GSTIN will not look like local. That can be true. I do not force a RJ GSTIN on a Bihar company.

I ask him to type it. Voice note of GSTIN is how 0 and O mix. Typed is better. He types in chat. I copy.

Where on the paper. Header. Buyer block. Under buyer name and address. Not at the footer near signature. Not on the camera IMEI line. I put IMEI in item description. GSTIN in buyer.

Address of buyer. Factory address as per him. If he wants bill to Jaipur HO and goods to Sikar plant, I write what he says in the note. I do not invent. I am not his SAP.

Some uncles send GSTIN of a sister company. I bill the name that matches the GSTIN he wants. If name and GSTIN fight, I wait. I do not print. Waiting is cheaper than reprint plus credit note.

I learned to read the preview. Right side on computer. Below form on phone. Preview shows seller GSTIN and buyer GSTIN. I read both aloud. Mine. His. If both same, I stop. Same means I pasted twice.

Both empty on a GST style draft. Then I ask, is this B2C. If yes, okay maybe. If he said B2B, empty is wrong. Fill buyer.

B2B B2C I use as shop words. CA will map the return. I only need the buyer number in the right box when he has one.

Composition customer. He has GSTIN but he is composition. He may still want his GSTIN on the paper. I put in buyer. I do not decide his credit. I put the number where it belongs.

My helper put GSTIN in the place of invoice number. Invoice number became 08XXXX. Helper thought GSTIN is a fancy number. I made him sit and point. Invoice number. Seller GSTIN. Buyer GSTIN. Three fingers. Three fields.

We stuck a paper on the counter. Teen jagah. Teen cheez.

How I fill GST invoice draft now

Phone autofill is a devil. Chrome suggested my GSTIN in buyer. I accepted. Same summer. I turned off autofill for this site on my phone. I type. Slow.

If I use simple invoice there may be one GSTIN optional. I still put mine as shop and buyer only if they gave. I read the label. Every time. Labels are boring. Boring saves reprints.

Reprint. I did four reprints for factory uncle. Toner. Shame. Now one print.

He also asked, put GSTIN on every page if it is two pages. My bills are one page. If print cuts, I fix page. I do not duplicate GSTIN in item rows as decoration.

Decoration GSTIN looks like a stolen format from a big company. I do not copy big company layout. Draft table is enough.

I never put GSTIN of BillOnDesk. There is no such thing to use. The site is a tool. Not a party in the sale. Parties are me and the buyer.

I never put GSTIN of my CA. CA is not the buyer.

I never put the driver GSTIN. Driver is not the buyer unless he is.

Goods to one person, bill to another. Only if that is the real deal and both know. I write both names in notes. I do not hide. I do not do bill to someone who never bought so they can take credit. That request I get. I refuse. Sikar is not that far from a notice.

Where to type is also where not to type.

Not in rupees in words.

Not in the vehicle field of a challan unless you are doing some other paper. For invoice, buyer block.

If I make a delivery challan for later bill, the GSTIN still belongs to the same buyer, in that form's buyer place. Do not skip because challan feels informal. Informal is how mix starts.

Factory uncle now sends a photo of his visiting card. GSTIN printed. I type from photo. Zoom. 8 and B. I got those wrong. Zoom.

15 characters. I count. If 14, I ask again. If 16, extra space. I trim space.

The tool does not file this GSTIN. Portal is separate. Wrong GSTIN on a draft still confuses the uncle's accounts. Right field, right number.

I keep my seller details as a small text on the phone. Shop name. Address. GSTIN. Phone. I paste seller block. Then I fill buyer fresh. Never paste seller into buyer.

Fresh buyer every time. Even if the same factory came last month. I still paste from his new message. Companies change GSTIN in rare cases. Last month message can be old. I ask, same GSTIN? He says yes. Then paste.

This extra yes is ten seconds.

Summer of question marks is over. I still do the ritual. Seller mine. Buyer his. Preview aloud.

If you came here from google because the form has two GSTIN boxes, that is normal. One is you. One is them. You are the shop. They are the buyer. Type them in that order like you count cash. Yours in your pocket. His in his.

Use the GST invoice draft. Read the labels. Keep DRAFT. Do not print a fake tax invoice with a stolen GSTIN.

BillOnDesk is not GSTN. It will print the box you filled. Fill the buyer GSTIN in the buyer box. That is the whole article. I needed many lines because I failed in a short way.
