What this screen is for
This is the register of e-way bills your company generated from its own documents. Cards count the total, the active ones, those expiring within 24 hours, and the cancelled ones. The table lists the e-way bill number, the invoice or credit note it came from, when it was generated, when it is valid until, and its status, with rows close to expiry highlighted. From each row you can open the source document, and a bill can be cancelled within 24 hours of generation.
When to use it
Use it to keep an eye on bills about to expire, to find the bill for a particular consignment, or to cancel one raised in error. New bills are not created here: generate them from the invoice or credit note's own page.
What you see on this screen
A banner explains that these are the bills generated from your invoices and credit notes, that a new one is raised from a document's own page with its Generate e-Way Bill button, that bills can be cancelled within 24 hours of generation, and that rows expiring within 24 hours are highlighted.
Four counters: Total, Active, Expiring < 24h and Cancelled.
The table has these columns:
- EWB Number — the e-way bill number the government system returned
- Document — whether it came from an invoice or a credit note, and that document's number
- Generated — date and time the bill was raised
- Valid till — when it ceases to be valid; a clock marks rows within 24 hours of that
- Status
- Actions — View doc opens the source invoice or credit note; Cancel appears only while the bill is still cancellable
Filters and actions
