Invoice series, numbering and document summary (GSTR-1 Table 13)

What this means, checked by a CA

Every invoice needs a unique serial number of up to 16 characters for the year, and GSTR-1 now asks for a summary of every document you issued. We design your invoice series, keep a monthly count of issued and cancelled documents, and fill Table 13 so GSTR-1 files cleanly.
