Create a retail invoice
A counter bill on its own number series, without your GSTIN on it.
You will see this in your account when your business also issues retail bills. TracEasy turns modules on to match your trade, so a screen described here may not appear for every business.
A retail invoice is the counter bill — what the trade calls a kaccha bill. It runs on its own number series and does not print your GSTIN. Everything else behaves exactly like a tax invoice.

If you know how to create a tax invoice, you already know this screen.
What is actually different
| Tax invoice | Retail invoice | |
|---|---|---|
| Number series | Its own, e.g. MPK/25-26/00001 | A separate one, e.g. MPK-RI/25-26/00001 |
| Printed heading | Tax Invoice | Retail Invoice |
| Your GSTIN on the bill | Printed | Not printed |
| GST on the lines | Charged | Charged, the same way |
| Stock | Reduced | Reduced |
| Party balance | One balance across both series | One balance across both series |
| Reports | GST Invoice Register | Retail Invoice Register |
Note
The two series are counted separately, so retail bill 1 and tax invoice 1 can both exist. Neither series ever reuses a number.
The series is fixed once issued
An invoice cannot be moved from one series to the other afterwards. If you raise the wrong kind, cancel it and raise it again on the right screen.
Which one should I raise?
That is a tax question, not a software one. Whether a given sale needs a tax invoice or not depends on your registration and your buyer. Ask your accountant, and use the series they tell you to.
