B2B E-Invoice (IRN) & E-Way Bill - Upload and Generation in EasyEcom
Software Plan : Growth & Enterprise
Account Type : Seller Account & 3PL
Inventory Type : Serialized & Non-Serialized
Overview
This article explains how to bulk upload E-Invoice (IRN) and E-Way Bill details for B2B orders before invoice generation. Use this feature when E-Invoice (IRN) and/or E-Way Bill details are generated outside EasyEcom using an external ERP or compliance system and need to be mapped to B2B orders before invoice generation.
Note: When the company-level setting skipEwayAndEInvoice is enabled, EasyEcom prompts the user at the time of invoicing to confirm whether the E-Invoice and/or E-Way Bill should be generated via EasyEcom.
When to Use This Feature
This is commonly used in operational setups where:
- E-Invoice or E-Way Bill is generated through an external ERP or compliance system.
- Finance or Accounts generates compliance documents before warehouse processing.
- Warehouse users continue picking, packing, invoicing and dispatch from EasyEcom.
- Multiple B2B orders require E-Invoice/E-Way Bill details to be uploaded in bulk.
Upload the details before invoice generation starts in EasyEcom. Once the normal automatic E-Invoice generation flow starts, uploaded details may not apply later.
Prerequisites
- E-Invoice/E-Way Bill details should be available before invoice generation.
- If both E-Invoice and E-Way Bill details are required, upload them together in a single file.
- Only one upload is supported per order.
Only the first invoice generated for an order uses the uploaded E-Invoice/E-Way Bill details. If multiple invoices are generated for the same order, subsequent invoices follow the account's standard E-Invoice generation flow.

The following validations are performed:
- Duplicate Order IDs within the same upload file are not allowed.
- Only one upload is supported for a single Order ID.
- Acknowledgement Number must be numeric.
- Duplicate Acknowledgement Numbers are not allowed.
- E-Way Bill Number must be numeric.

Step 4: Upload the File
Click Upload CSV > Select the filled template file & Submit
The upload is queued for processing and can be tracked from the Imports section.
Step 5: Verify Upload Status
Go to Imports to verify the upload status.
If the upload fails, download the error file to identify the validation errors. Correct the validation errors in the file and upload it again.
E-Invoice/E-Way Bill Generation Consent
When the company-level setting `skipEwayAndEInvoice` is enabled, EasyEcom displays a consent prompt at the time of invoicing:
"Please confirm whether the E-Invoice and/or E-Way Bill should be generated via EasyEcom?"
The user can select Yes or No.
Important: EasyGSP (Busy) must be integrated and active for E-Invoice/E-Way Bill generation via EasyEcom to work. If consent is provided but EasyGSP (Busy) is not integrated or active, the IRN and E-Way Bill will not be generated.
Consent Logs
The consent selection is logged for both Yes and No selections. The logs are maintained against the respective Consignment and in Handover > View History.
FAQs
1. What happens if I upload after invoice generation has started?
Uploaded details may not be applied because invoice generation has already started using the standard E-Invoice flow.
2. Can I upload E-Invoice details now and E-Way Bill details later for the same order?
No. Only one upload is supported per order. Upload all required details together in a single file.
3. Can I upload the file before the order is created in EasyEcom?
Yes. The upload is stored against the uploaded Order ID and is automatically applied when a B2B order with the same Order ID is created.
4. What happens if multiple invoices are generated for the same order?
The first invoice uses the uploaded E-Invoice/E-Way Bill details. Subsequent invoices follow the account's standard E-Invoice generation flow.
5. How can I check whether the upload was successful?
Go to the Imports section and verify the upload status. If the upload fails, download the error file, correct the validation errors and upload the file again.
6. What happens if the uploaded file contains both valid and invalid records?
The complete upload is rejected. Partial processing is not supported.
7. What happens if I upload only IRN details or only E-Way Bill details?
If only IRN details are uploaded, the first invoice uses the uploaded IRN, while the E-Way Bill follows the account's standard E-Way Bill generation flow.
If only E-Way Bill details are uploaded, the first invoice uses the uploaded E-Way Bill, while the IRN follows the account's standard E-Invoice generation flow.
8. Why is the IRN/E-Way Bill not generated after giving consent?
EasyGSP (Busy) must be integrated and active for E-Invoice/E-Way Bill generation via EasyEcom to work. If consent is provided while EasyGSP (Busy) is not integrated or active, the IRN and E-Way Bill will not be generated.
