I. Introduction
TallyPrime has long been trusted by millions of businesses for managing accounting, inventory, payroll, and compliance with ease. As GST regulations evolve, one critical area that businesses struggle with is invoice reconciliation and accurate Input Tax Credit (ITC) claims.
To address this, TallyPrime introduced the Invoice Management System (IMS) — a powerful, built-in tool that streamlines GST reconciliation and enhances tax compliance. Available in TallyPrime 6.1 and above, IMS empowers businesses to match their purchase invoices with the GSTR-2B data from the GSTN portal quickly and accurately.
II. What is the Invoice Management System (IMS)?
The Invoice Management System (IMS) is an integrated feature within TallyPrime that automates the process of matching purchase invoices with the GSTR-2B report downloaded from the GST portal.
It was designed to address common GST reconciliation issues such as:
-
Mismatch of invoices between books and GSTR-2B

Missed or duplicate ITC claims

Manual errors in reconciliation
IMS seamlessly connects your purchase data with the GSTR-2B JSON file, offering a unified view of matched, mismatched, and missing invoices.
