How to Update GST Lock Date (Purchase) in SwilERP


What is GST Lock Date?

Lock Date means the date after which you can no longer edit the transaction against or where any positions related to an invoice may no longer be Edited. As part of your GST Return, you must provide information on your purchase. 

You will not be able to make any changes to the data once it has been submitted. For that reason, you need to lock purchase transaction data in a way that no one will be able to edit it. 


SwilERP has featured the option of Update GST Lock Date, in which you can lock the date of the purchase transactions at your convenience. For example, you have submitted the GST return till September 2022, and now you want to lock the date till 30th September. Then you can do it from this option in GST form. 

Start with Login in the SwilERP dashboard to initiate the process:

  1. Go to the GST tab
  2. Select Update GST Lock Date (Purchase).
