Books vs E-Com Reconciliation Process
This section outlines the complete workflow for reconciling Books data with GSTR-2A/2B E-Com records within ExpressGST.
Step 1: Import GSTR-2 (2A/2B) Data
- Open application and import your GSTR-2A/2B data.
- Use the Excel Import option to upload the file.

Step 2: Open the “Books vs 2A/2B Annual” Module
- Navigate to Books vs 2A/2B Annual.
- This module provides all essential tools required for:
- Books vs GSTR-2A/2B reconciliation
- Books vs E-Com reconciliation
Step 3: Supplier-Wise Reconciliation
Use the Supplier Wise Reco option to verify and cross-check supplier-level summarised data from Books and E-Com.
Step 4: Invoice-Wise Reconciliation & Enable E-Com Comparison
- Open Invoice Wise Reco for detailed invoice-level matching.
- Under the B2B section, enable the E-Com option to activate E-Commerce reconciliation features.
Step 5: Identify and Resolve Discrepancies
After opening Invoice Wise Reco, ExpressGST classifies entries into:
Matched
- All key fields match between Books and E-Com records.
Partially Matched
- Document Number mismatch
- Taxable Value mismatch
- Tax Amount mismatch
Unmatched
- In Books Only – Present in Books but missing in GSTR-2A/2B.
- In 2B Only – Present in GSTR-2B/E-Com but not available in Books.
Use filters and comparison tools to identify the mismatch type and make necessary corrections.
Step 6: Download the Books vs E-Com Reconciliation Report
Generate and download a consolidated reconciliation report for Books vs E-Com, containing invoice-wise comparisons and mismatch summaries.
By following the above steps, users can efficiently:
- Fetch ECO documents directly from the GST Portal, and

This ensures accurate reporting, streamlined mismatch resolution, and improved GST compliance.
