ERPNext India / GST
What is GST Category?
- GST Category
- GST Category in ERPNext classifies each transaction type (Registered, Unregistered, SEZ, Export, Overseas) to apply the correct tax template and GSTR-1 classification automatically.
GST Category Types
ERPNext recognises: Registered (B2B, GSTIN-holding customer), Unregistered (B2C, no GSTIN), Consumer (B2C individual, no GSTIN, ≤₹2.5L), SEZ (with or without LUT), Overseas (export to non-India party), and Deemed Export. Each maps to a different GST treatment.
Auto-Selection from Customer Master
The GST Category is auto-populated from the Customer or Supplier master. When you select a customer on a Sales Invoice, ERPNext picks the GST Category and loads the matching tax template. This eliminates manual tax selection errors across all transactions.
