How to Create an E-way Bill in Deskera Books?

Janhavi Wagh -

When a customer purchases products from you via online shopping, you have to deliver the goods to them. In order for the products to reach your end consumers or suppliers, some businesses require delivery services. These businesses typically offer delivery services for their customers and charge an additional transportation fee. Every country has different rules and regulations when it comes to the distribution of goods.

In India, it's compulsory for businesses to generate a document known as the E-Way Bill before the commencement of the goods. Of course, there is one main criterion to generate the E-Way Bill - businesses who are distributing goods greater than INR 50,000 for both, single invoice or multiple invoices, in a single-vehicle, are required to register for the E-Way Bill.
