HSN Code Master

1How to work in this page #

1. Find (F2): search by code or description.
2. Add (F3): create a new code. Cursor lands on HSN Code.
3. Modify (F4): edit the loaded code.
4. Delete: remove the current code (view mode), with confirmation.
5. Save (F5): commit the add / modify. HSN Code is required and must be unique.
6. Cancel (Esc): discard the current edit.

2Step by step #

HSN codes are the GST commodity classification your invoices and returns must carry.

1. Press Add (F3) and enter the code exactly as published — e.g. 7214 for TMT bars — with its description and GST rate details as the form asks.
2. Press Save (F5) and confirm.
3. Assign it to products on the Product master; invoices and GSTR reporting pick it up from there.

3About the fields #

• GST Rate (%): the tax rate applied to items under this code.
• EWB Unit Name: unit name reported on the E-Way Bill (pick from units or type).
• GSTR Unit Name: unit name reported on GSTR returns (pick from units or type).
• Unit Short Code: short unit code (pick from units or type).

4Why is a unit list empty? #

The three unit boxes suggest values from the Unit master, so the drop-downs stay empty until units have been created there. These boxes are editable, so you can still type a statutory unit name or code by hand if it is not yet in the Unit master.

5Rules and integrity #

• The code must be unique; a duplicate is refused before saving.
• The GST rate you set here seeds the tax on products that carry this code, and the unit names ride onto e-Way Bills and GST returns, so keep them correct.
• Codes are chosen on products. Deleting a code that is still in use can leave those products without one, so retire an obsolete code rather than deleting it.
