SAP Business One GST Integration - GSTR-1, 3B & E-Invoice Direct from B1
The SAP Business One GST Portal connector fills the largest gap in the SAP B1 India stack — direct GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing from SAP B1 A/R invoices, e-invoice IRN generation via IRP, e-way bill creation, and GSTR-2B reconciliation for input tax credit. Multi-branch, multi-GSTIN, and multi-currency support built for the SAP B1 mid-market audience. Rs 2,499/month.
File GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B directly from SAP Business One, generate IRN e-invoices, create e-way bills, and reconcile GSTR-2B for ITC — with multi-GSTIN group support.
IRN generation on A/R invoice add — no batch delay
Monthly GSTR-3B filing time per GSTIN
Group branches filed in parallel from one panel
IRN cancellation window with in-connector cancel option
What this connector does
SAP Business One is the ERP of choice for Indian mid-market manufacturers, distributors, and B2B trading businesses. But the SAP B1 India localisation package handles only the accounting side of GST — it captures GST-tagged invoices, calculates domestic tax liability, and generates internal GST registers, but it does not talk directly to the GST portal, does not generate IRN e-invoices via the IRP, and does not reconcile GSTR-2B for input tax credit. Sellers work around this with expensive iPaaS integrations (SAP Integration Suite, Boomi, Celigo) or standalone GST filing tools (ClearTax, IRIS Sapphire) that require CSV export and manual re-entry between systems. Both approaches leak time, invite reconciliation errors, and cost enterprise-tier fees for what is a standard compliance workflow.
This connector fixes the gap directly. Every A/R invoice in SAP B1 is queued for IRN e-invoice generation via the IRP within seconds of the invoice being added — the IRN, QR code, and acknowledgement number are written back onto the SAP B1 invoice document. E-way bills are generated from the same trigger when the invoice includes delivery details above the state EWB threshold. GSTR-1 is prepared directly from the SAP B1 A/R register per GSTIN and submitted to the GST portal per return period. GSTR-3B is downloaded, reconciled against the B1 GST liability module (with discrepancies flagged for review), and filed with one click.
GSTR-2B reconciliation is where this connector earns its keep for mid-market SAP B1 customers. Every month, the GSTR-2B JSON is fetched from the GST portal and matched against the SAP B1 purchase register using invoice number, GSTIN, and amount with tolerance for split invoices. Mismatches are categorised — missing in books, missing on portal, rate diff, cancelled supplier — with drill-down links back to the offending SAP B1 document. Multi-branch group setups (modelled as departments or business partners in the standard install) get parallel filing pipelines per GSTIN. Each GSTIN has its own filing calendar, its own audit trail, and its own reconciliation queue — statutory boundaries stay clean, but the group tax lead has one dashboard across every entity.
Both SAP B1 for SQL Server and SAP B1 for HANA deployments are supported. The Perimattic bridge deploys inside your SAP B1 network — DI-API for SQL, Service Layer for HANA — so credentials and data never leave your infrastructure boundary. IRP and GSTN API calls use the standard GSTN-authorised endpoints; the connector holds the GSP registration on your behalf.

- GSTR-2B downloaded from portal and matched against B1 purchase register manually
- Multi-branch group filings run separately per GSTIN with weeks of coordination
With ERPPlugs

- GSTR-1 prepared directly from SAP B1 A/R register and submitted to the GST portal
- GSTR-3B downloaded, reconciled against B1 GST liability, and filed with one click

Frequently Asked Questions
SAP B1 India localisation handles the domestic accounting side of GST — creating GST-tagged invoices, calculating tax liability, and generating internal GST registers. It does NOT talk to the GST portal, does NOT create IRN e-invoices, and does NOT reconcile GSTR-2B. Those are the three highest-cost gaps for Indian SAP B1 customers, and this connector fills all three via the same IRP/GSTN API paths that the government exposes.
Each SAP B1 branch (modelled as a department or a business partner in the base install) is mapped to a specific GSTIN. Every invoice, every filing, and every reconciliation runs isolated per GSTIN. Group-level rollup dashboards show consolidated status without breaking statutory boundaries.
Yes. Both SAP B1 for SQL Server and SAP B1 for HANA are supported. The connector uses the Service Layer (HANA) or DI-API (SQL) for read/write depending on the deployment.
The GST portal allows IRN cancellation within 24 hours of generation. The connector surfaces every unpaid IRN in the dashboard within that window with a one-click cancel option that talks back to the IRP. After 24 hours, cancellations require a credit note — which the connector also queues for you.
