# Importing Sales Register: Flipkart Format

Octa simplifies GST compliance for Flipkart sellers! With **direct import** of your **Flipkart GST Sales Report** (also
known as the Sales Transaction Report), Octa automatically reads your sales data, handles returns/cancellations
correctly, and prepares key sections of your **GSTR-1** — no manual data entry required. Save time and avoid errors
every month!

## How Octa Smartly Processes Your Flipkart Data?

Flipkart’s report includes various transaction types like sales, returns, cancellations, and cancellations of returns.
Octa processes them accurately for correct GST liability:

- **Regular sales** → Treated as outward supplies (Sales Invoices)
- **Returns & cancellations** → Treated as Credit Notes (reduces your taxable value & GST)
- **Cancellations of returns** → Treated as fresh/new invoices (matches Flipkart's logic for proper GST calculation)

This smart handling ensures:

- Accurate net tax liability
- Correct invoice matching
- Perfect alignment with GST laws and e-commerce rules

After successful import, Octa auto-generates these GSTR-1 sections for you:

- **B2B** invoice-level details (GSTINs, invoice numbers, etc.)
- **B2C** summary (state-wise totals, taxes, etc.)
- **HSN Summary** (product category-wise tax breakdown)
- **E-commerce Summary** (including TCS details)

Ready for review and filing — super quick!

## How to import?

### Step 1: Download Flipkart GST Sales Report

1. Log in to your **Flipkart Seller Portal** (seller.flipkart.com)
2. Go to **Reports** section (look for **Reports** or **Reports Centre**)
3. Navigate to **GST Reports** or **Tax Reports**
4. Select **Sales Transaction Request** (or **Sales Report** under Tax/GST category)
5. Choose the required **period** (usually the previous month)
6. Click **Generate** — wait a few moments for the report to prepare
7. Once ready, download the file (usually an Excel .xlsx file)

> **Tip:** Flipkart typically makes the previous month's report available early in the current month. If you don't see the exact
> "GST Sales Transaction Report" option, look for "Sales Report" or "GSTR Report" under Tax Reports — these contain the
> required GST transaction details.

1. Open your company in Octa
2. Go to the **Sales** page
3. Click the **Import** button
4. From the format dropdown, choose **Flipkart Format**

6. Select the **Period** (month/quarter) this file covers — make sure it matches your GST return filing period
7. Click **Continue** and follow the simple on-screen prompts (Octa will guide you!)

That's it! Import usually completes in less than a minute.
