Filing GSTR-6
Import Purchase Register
To reconcile ISD invoices with GSTR-6A, import the ISD purchase register into Octa GST. This may also be referred to as the Inward Credit Register or Purchase Register of ISD.
Download the purchase template from Octa, fill all mandatory fields, and upload the completed file. After upload, Octa can compare your purchase data with the GSTR-6A data fetched from the GST portal.
The import flow is similar to the GSTR-2B purchase register import. For detailed import steps, see Import Purchase Register.
The GSTR-6A purchase template includes a Distribution List column. Use this column when an invoice should be distributed only to selected recipient GSTINs instead of all recipients.
For example, if an ISD invoice relates to only two branches, enter only those GSTINs in the Distribution List. Octa will then distribute the credit only to the selected GSTINs.
Edit Purchase Document After Upload
If only a few invoices need correction after import, you do not need to upload the entire purchase register again. Edit the required documents directly in Octa.
- Go to the Purchase section.
- Search by Invoice Number or GSTIN.
- Select the document from the search results.
- Click Edit.
- Update the required fields.
- Click Save.
This allows you to correct specific invoices without re-uploading the entire purchase data.
