Every Rupee Out, Against A Ledger

The purchase side decides two things beyond the expense: the credit you can claim and the tax you must deduct. Both are settled at the bill, not at quarter-end.

THE PURCHASE-SIDE RULE

A Bill Recorded Late Breaks Three Things At Once.

Expense, input credit and TDS all originate at the same document. That is why a half-done purchase register makes 2B look wrong when it is not — and why the fix is bookkeeping, not compliance software.

Questions A CA Asks First

Do I need purchase orders to record a bill?
No — bills stand alone. If you do use orders, the ordered-received-billed view is there without maintaining a separate spreadsheet.
How does a bill affect my ITC?
The input tax is recorded at the bill and becomes claimable when it appears in your 2B. Reconciliation shows which bills have support and which do not.
When is TDS decided?
At the bill. The likely section is offered based on the vendor and the expense, confirmed by you, and then tracked through to the challan.
Can I record part payments?
Yes — payments settle against specific bills, and the ageing reflects what is actually outstanding rather than a net balance.
What about debit notes for returns?
Raised against the original bill so the linkage survives into your GST position rather than floating as a standalone credit.
Do vendors have to email me their details?
Not if you use the portal — they submit GSTIN, PAN and bank details themselves, which also means the data comes from the party who owns it.
