 If you are registered in GST and select the relevant option from the drop down list. Options for Selection are :
Tax Invoice - > In this type of Sales it includes all Interstate and Intrastate Supplies to either Register / Un-Registered Person except Export / Bill of Supply / Supplies to SEZ / Ecommerce Supplies.
Export Bonded - > Export Sales which are supplies made to Overseas Party / SEZ Entity without Payment of Tax as Export under Bond / LUT. In this case the Tax rate is zero and no posting for tax is made.
Export Non-Bonded - > Export Sales which are supplies made to Overseas Party / SEZ Entity with Payment of Tax. In this case the Tax rate is as applicable, and tax is calculated but tax is not added to Bill Amount. Separate Tax posting of Output Tax Payable and GST Recoverable Account is created.
eCommerce Supply - > All Supplies made to Ecommerce Traders should be entered through E-Commerce Supply. Additional information is captured as Buyers GSTIN so automatically if supplies made to Registered persons will be considered as B2B invoice otherwise the transactions are considered in B2C Type and Ecommerce GSTIN will be displayed In GSTR1.
