GST e-invoicing software
GST e-invoicing means reporting each B2B invoice to the government Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), which returns a unique Invoice Reference Number (IRN) and a signed QR code. E-invoicing software prepares the invoice in the required JSON schema, submits it, and prints the IRN and QR code on the invoice you send.
