Administration → GST registrations records the GST registrations each of your companies holds — one per state it trades in — and shows, site by site, which registration goods leaving that site are sent under. It also holds the account e-way bills are filed with the GST portal through. Set it up before the first move between sites or the first sale that needs an e-way bill.
If you don’t see this in your navigation, your administrator can switch the module on under Administration → Modules, or it may not be included in your plan. The card appears only where India GST and e-way bills is switched on.
Under GST an Indian company is not one taxpayer but one per state: the same PAN registered in Maharashtra and in Karnataka is two GSTINs and two returns. That is why moving a machine between two of your own plants can be a taxable supply when the plants are in different states, and why one tax number per company cannot answer the first question an e-way bill asks — which GSTIN are the goods leaving from?

The header

Registrations, company by company

Each company has its own section, named for it, because a registration belongs to a company and two companies in a group are two taxpayers whose GSTINs should not read as one list. If you have no companies yet, the screen says so: add the company under organisation structure first. Add a registration, at the top of a company’s section, opens the form for that company — the company is taken from the section rather than asked. You are never asked for the state. The first two digits of every GSTIN are its state code, so the product reads the state from the number rather than asking you to type the same fact twice.

What each site sends goods under

Below the companies, every site is listed with the registration it resolves to: A site uses its company’s registration in the site’s state. The law allows a second registration in one state — a separate business vertical, a unit in a special economic zone — so a site can name a different registration on its own form. Where nothing resolves, the sentence in the GSTIN column tells you what to fix:

Filing e-way bills

The last section, Filing e-way bills, holds the account bills are filed with the GST portal through. Bills are filed through the filing service the screen names, with the account name and API key that service issued to your organisation. Until an account is saved, a bill’s page says there is no filing account and links here. Start on Test, file a test bill, and switch to Live once it has gone through. Save confirms with Saved.; a refusal is shown above the fields with what to do about it.
