In this article, we will focus on the on-premise version of Octa GST, which is installed on the user's computer and does not require internet connection for most of the operations. The latest version of Octa GST on-premise is 9.6, which was released on December 21, 2019. This version has some new features and bug fixes that make it more user-friendly and efficient.
New Features in Octa GST Version 9.6
The main new features in Octa GST version 9.6 are related to GSTR-2A and purchase reconciliation. GSTR-2A is a statement of inward supplies that is auto-populated by the GST portal based on the GSTR-1 filed by the suppliers. Purchase reconciliation is the process of matching the purchase data with the GSTR-2A to identify any discrepancies or mismatches.
Reconcile based on document date or return period: Octa GST version 9.6 allows the user to choose whether to reconcile the purchase data based on the document date or the return period of the invoices. This gives more flexibility and accuracy to the user, as some invoices may have different document dates and return periods.
Fixed a critical issue that could result in loss of manually linked invoices: Octa GST version 9.6 fixes a bug that could cause the loss of manually linked invoices when a new GSTR-2A file is added in Octa GST. This bug could affect the users who manually link the invoices with mismatches in data, such as invoice number, date, or amount. The new version ensures that the manually linked invoices are preserved even when new GSTR-2A files are imported.
