Prepare AI-extracted invoice data for tax professionals reviewing GSTR-2B

Two records, one comparison Illustrative workflow.

Turn GST invoices into clean, reviewed data for Excel and Tally.

GSTR-2B reconciliation compares the portal's read-only, auto-drafted ITC statement with the business's purchase records. Dynamite Docs prepares the purchase side by proposing supplier GSTIN, invoice identity, taxable value and tax components from bills, credit notes and related documents. Review those rows against each source, then match them with a separately downloaded GSTR-2B file in Excel or your accounting process. The extractor does not download portal data, decide input tax credit eligibility or file GSTR-3B.

Scope and tax review

Content owner: Dynamite Docs content team. Official-source review last updated: 2026-09-30.

Dynamite Docs extracts fields from source documents. It does not determine whether an invoice complies with GST law, prepare a return, or make a document ready to file. Review every extracted value against the original and use the current GST Portal guidance or a qualified tax professional before filing.

Choose file storage and an AI provider that meet your document requirements. Review encryption, retention, own-key processing, and local Ollama options in our Security & Compliance controls.

Reconciling purchase bills against GSTR-2B is time consuming

Every supplier bill must be compared against GSTR-2B records by invoice number, date, and tax split.
Purchase bills arrive in various formats, from digital PDFs to paper receipts, requiring significant data entry before matching can begin.
Identifying missing supplier invoices or tax discrepancies requires checking individual line items against the portal statement.
Manual reconciliation under monthly filing deadlines increases the risk of missed input tax credits.

Document types this workflow handles

Purchase invoices: supplier bills for goods and services
Supplier receipts: delivery notes and payment confirmations
Supplier credit notes: vendor adjustments and return credits
E-way bills: transport records accompanying purchase bills

Building reliable purchase registers for input tax credit matching

Two records, one comparison. Match GSTIN and reference. Compare taxable amounts. Investigate differences. Illustrative workflow.

Build the purchase register before matching. Confirm supplier GSTIN, full invoice number, invoice date, document type, taxable value and each tax component against the bill. Keep leading zeros, slashes and financial-year prefixes in invoice numbers. Over-normalizing an identifier can create a false match.

Use several match states, not one yes-or-no column. A row can be an exact match, a value mismatch, a date or number variation, present only in books, present only in GSTR-2B, duplicated or pending review. Credit notes and amendments also need their own treatment so they are not compared as ordinary positive invoices.

Start with strong keys such as supplier GSTIN and invoice number, then compare date, taxable value and tax components. Small rounding differences may need a stated tolerance. A fuzzy invoice-number match can help find candidates, but a person should approve it before the records are linked.

GSTR-2B is a read-only, auto-drafted statement based on supplier and other source filings. If a purchase invoice is missing or different, preserve the exception and follow the organization's vendor and tax review process. Do not alter the purchase source row merely to make it match the portal file.

Run control totals after row-level matching. Count exact matches and exceptions, then compare taxable value, CGST, SGST, IGST and cess by match state. Those totals help a reviewer see whether one large difference or many small records explain the gap.

Dynamite Docs prepares purchase documents as structured rows. Your team must obtain GSTR-2B, perform the match, assess eligibility, handle reversals or duplicate-credit risk and decide what belongs in the return. Keep the reviewed source and match notes with the working paper.

Reviewable reconciliation data with private processing options

Reconciling purchase records requires accurate supplier GSTINs, invoice identity, taxable values and tax splits. Any signed-in plan can connect a supported provider key; Pro and Ultra BYOK runs do not spend Dynamite Docs PE.

Digital purchase invoices may provide machine-readable text, while paper scans and photos need visual OCR. Both formats still need source review.

All extracted purchase data remains saved in your private workspace, ready for export to Excel, CSV, or your ERP.
