Generate an e-invoice

IRN and signed QR for invoices above the e-invoicing threshold.

Businesses with annual turnover above ₹5 crore must e-invoice all B2B sales. AskBooks does this transparently.

One-time setup Open Settings → GST → e-Invoicing. Paste your IRP (Invoice Registration Portal) credentials. We test the connection and store the API token encrypted.

Per-invoice flow On any B2B invoice, when you click Save & Send, AskBooks: 1. Sends the invoice JSON to the IRP. 2. Receives an IRN (Invoice Reference Number) and a signed QR code. 3. Stamps both onto the PDF, then emails/WhatsApps the final invoice to the customer.

The whole round-trip takes 1–3 seconds. If the IRP is down, the invoice is queued and the IRN attaches when the IRP recovers — your customer sees the un-signed PDF first and the signed one when ready.
