OCTA GST

Importing Sales Register

Flipkart Format

Octa simplifies GST compliance for Flipkart sellers! With direct import of your Flipkart GST Sales Report (also known as the Sales Transaction Report), Octa automatically reads your sales data, handles returns/cancellations correctly, and prepares key sections of your GSTR-1 — no manual data entry required. Save time and avoid errors every month!

How Octa Smartly Processes Your Flipkart Data?

Flipkart’s report includes various transaction types like sales, returns, cancellations, and cancellations of returns. Octa processes them accurately for correct GST liability:

  • Regular sales → Treated as outward supplies (Sales Invoices)
  • Returns & cancellations → Treated as Credit Notes (reduces your taxable value & GST)
  • Cancellations of returns → Treated as fresh/new invoices (matches Flipkart's logic for proper GST calculation)

This smart handling ensures:

  • Accurate net tax liability
  • Correct invoice matching
  • Perfect alignment with GST laws and e-commerce rules

After successful import, Octa auto-generates these GSTR-1 sections for you:

  • B2B invoice-level details (GSTINs, invoice numbers, etc.)
  • B2C summary (state-wise totals, taxes, etc.)
  • HSN Summary (product category-wise tax breakdown)
  • E-commerce Summary (including TCS details)

Ready for review and filing — super quick!

How to import?

Step 1: Download Flipkart GST Sales Report

  1. Log in to your Flipkart Seller Portal (seller.flipkart.com)
  2. Go to Reports section (look for Reports or Reports Centre)
  3. Navigate to GST Reports or Tax Reports
  4. Select Sales Transaction Request (or Sales Report under Tax/GST category)
  5. Choose the required period (usually the previous month)
  6. Click Generate — wait a few moments for the report to prepare
  7. Once ready, download the file (usually an Excel .xlsx file)

Flipkart typically makes the previous month's report available early in the current month. If you don't see the exact "GST Sales Transaction Report" option, look for "Sales Report" or "GSTR Report" under Tax Reports — these contain the required GST transaction details.

Step 2: Import Flipkart Report into Octa GST

  1. Open your company in Octa
  2. Go to the Sales page
  3. Click the Import button
  4. From the format dropdown, choose Flipkart Format
  5. Select the Flipkart GST Sales Report you just downloaded
  6. Select the Period (month/quarter) this file covers — make sure it matches your GST return filing period
  7. Click Continue and follow the simple on-screen prompts (Octa will guide you!)

That's it! Import usually completes in less than a minute.

Quick Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Ensure you're downloading the full transaction-level report (not just summaries) for best results.
  • If errors appear: Octa shows clear messages with row numbers — open the Excel, fix the issues, save, and re-upload.

This direct import feature cuts down manual work dramatically and keeps your GSTR-1 accurate.
