Invoice Series for new Financial year under GST
As of April 3rd, 2018, GSTN portal does not allow you to enter same invoice number in 2018-2019, which you had entered in any GSTR-1 of 2017-2018. There should be new invoice series for new financial year under GST or it won’t be accepted.
Eg., You had entered Invoice number 01 dated 01-07-2017 in GSTR-1 of October 2017. Now if you have issued invoice number 01 dated 02-04-2018. And try to capture this invoice in GSTR-1 of April 2018 (or later) you will receive processing error.
Please be advised and advice your colleagues and clients accordingly.
