Compliance checklist (United States)

Confirm current rules with IRS publications — not legal advice.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Confirm mandatory fields for United States with your accountant — rules change via IRS notifications.
2. Open Create Invoice (or payslip generator if applicable) and enter legal entity details.
3. Add line items with correct tax codes (HSN/SAC in India, VAT categories in EU/UK).
4. Preview PDF — verify totals, tax breakdown, and client details at 100% zoom.
5. Download PDF; archive immutably; send via email or portal; file e-invoice JSON if required separately.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Reusing last month's invoice number instead of issuing a new sequential ID
• Mixing CGST/SGST lines on an inter-state IGST sale
• Emailing a draft PDF before IRN/e-invoice validation (India B2B)
• Storing only the email thread — not the signed PDF archive

Operational guides only — confirm tax and legal rules with your accountant or counsel.

PDF quality before send

• Size caps — compress a copy for email; keep master uncompressed
• Redact unrelated PII on shared copies — PDF redaction guide
• Metadata scrub internal author names on external RFP PDFs — PDF Metadata
