Use the order as the starting record
The current bill-generation action is in Order Details. Check the customer, items and amounts there before generating a document. This reduces the temptation to create a separate file whose numbers no longer match the business record.
Keep generation and downloading separate
Once a bill exists, the screen shows its document number and download action. A failed download does not necessarily mean generation failed. Reopen the existing document rather than creating a duplicate order to obtain another PDF. The service can report that a bill was already generated.
Review configuration before distribution
The interface describes document selection using the saved billing GST configuration. This page explains the available workflow, not the tax treatment your business should choose. Verify legal and classification details through appropriate professional advice, then inspect the resulting document before sending it.
Protect the customer's copy
A PDF can contain more personal information than a support request needs. Share it only with the intended recipient and keep an order or document reference for troubleshooting. The application workflow does not establish a guarantee of tax compliance, automatic corrections to issued documents or deletion of bills when an order is removed.
UNDERSTANDING THE WORKFLOW
Generating a bill and downloading an existing bill are separate actions
A document attached to an order should have a clear identity. Repeatedly creating documents when you only wanted another copy can make later reconciliation confusing.
What the order interface distinguishes The inspected Money tab shows an existing document number and document type with a download action when a document exists. Otherwise it presents a not-yet-generated state and a generation action.
That distinction is useful operationally. First determine whether the document already exists. Then obtain the existing copy or follow the supported generation workflow. Do not infer replacement or cancellation rules from the presence of a download button.
Review the contents Check the customer and order identity, items and recorded amounts before sending a document. A successful PDF download proves file delivery, not that every field is correct.
Keep claims limited This source evidence does not establish statutory compliance for every merchant, universal GST treatment or automatic accounting-system integration. Those depend on configuration and appropriate professional requirements.
The bill-document feature page owns supported capability and related help owns the procedure. This explainer answers the narrower question of when someone needs a document created and when they only need the document already on record.
Bring this checklist to your evaluation
- Order checked before generation
- Document number retained
- PDF inspected before sharing
- Billing configuration verified separately
