How to Update GST Lock Date Sales in SwilERP
Meaning of GST Lock Date
The Lock Date is the point after which you can’t make changes to a transaction or invoice. For GST returns, your sales data must be accurate and final. Once you submit it, no changes are allowed. That’s why it’s important to lock sales transactions so no one can edit them afterward.
SwilERP gives you the option to set a GST Lock Date, so you can lock your sales transactions whenever needed. For example, if you've filed your GST return up to September 2022, you can use this option to lock all sales data up to 30th September in the GST form.
Start with Login in SwilERP Dashboard to initiate the Process
- Go to the GST Section> Update GST Lock Date (Sales)
