Use this field checklist when testing billing software for B2B, B2C, retail, and manufacturing workflows in India.
Start with supplier and customer details
Verify the supplier legal name, address, GSTIN where applicable, invoice number, invoice date, and customer details. B2B workflows need a reliable place for the buyer GSTIN and address.
Check item and tax fields
Test description, quantity, unit, taxable value, discount, HSN or SAC, tax rate, and the correct CGST, SGST, or IGST split for the transaction.
Test the workflow your business actually uses
Retailers should test walk-in B2C billing, returns, and payment modes. Manufacturers should test item classification, units, delivery documents, and any e-invoicing or e-way-bill requirements with their tax professional.
Implementation checklist
- Test a B2B invoice with GSTIN.
- Test a walk-in B2C invoice.
- Verify HSN or SAC capture.
- Verify CGST/SGST and IGST behavior.
- Export a report for accountant review.
