E-Way Bill Software for Manufacturers
Generate the e-way bill — Part A details and the Part B vehicle — directly from a sales invoice or delivery challan, without re-keying anything into the NIC portal. Update the vehicle when the load is transhipped, track validity by distance, and keep each e-way bill linked to its e-invoice — all inside a cloud manufacturing ERP.
Why e-way bills slip through the cracks
The e-way bill itself is a short form — but the way most manufacturers produce it is fragile. Goods are dispatched on an invoice or challan, then someone logs into the NIC portal and re-types the same consignment by hand. Every gap between the document and the portal is where a movement gets held at a check-post. Four things go wrong again and again:
Re-keying invoice data into the portal
The invoice already has the value, HSN, GSTINs and party addresses — yet it’s typed again on the NIC portal, where a single mismatch invites a notice.
OEMup: Part A is auto-filled from the source document, so the e-way bill always matches the invoice it travels with.Part B vehicle / transhipment missed
The vehicle is arranged after the bill is made, or the load is moved to another truck mid-route — and the Part B update never happens.
OEMup: update the Part B vehicle against the existing e-way bill at despatch or on transhipment, without raising a fresh one.Validity expiring mid-transit
Validity is distance-based; on a long haul it can lapse while the truck is still on the road, and a register never warns you.
OEMup: the validity window is tracked by distance and flagged as it nears expiry, so you extend it within the permitted time.Not linked to the e-invoice / challan
E-invoice in one place, e-way bill in another, delivery challan in a third — the same consignment entered three times, three ways to drift apart.
OEMup: the e-way bill stays linked to its e-invoice or challan, so every number belongs to the same movement.The full e-way bill flow, automated
OEMup raises the e-way bill from the document you already created and carries it all the way to the driver — and back, when the route changes:
- Raise the invoice or challanCreate the sales invoice or delivery challan for the movement as you normally would — that document is the single source of truth.
- Part A auto-filled from the documentConsignment value, HSN, GSTINs, from/to addresses and document references are pulled straight from the invoice or challan — no re-typing into a portal.
- Add Part B — transporter & vehicleEnter the transporter ID and vehicle number before despatch, or add it later if the vehicle is arranged once the goods are ready.
- E-way bill number & validity returnedThe e-way bill number and its distance-based validity are returned and printed for the driver, ready to present at any check-post.
- Update vehicle / extend validityWhen the load is transhipped or the route runs long, update the Part B vehicle or extend validity within the permitted window against the same e-way bill.

E-way bill software — FAQ
What is e-way bill software?
Software that generates the GST e-way bill — the electronic document required to move goods above the prescribed value — from the document you already raised, instead of re-keying it into the NIC portal. It fills Part A from your invoice or delivery challan, captures Part B (transporter and vehicle), returns the e-way bill number and validity, and lets you update the vehicle or extend validity in transit. OEMup builds this into a cloud manufacturing ERP and links each e-way bill to its e-invoice.
Does OEMup generate Part A and Part B?
Yes. Part A — the consignment, invoice value, HSN and party details — is auto-filled from the source document, so you don’t re-type invoice data. Part B — the transporter ID and vehicle number — is added before despatch, or later if the vehicle is arranged after the goods are ready. Once both parts are complete the e-way bill number and validity are returned and the document can be printed for the driver.
When is an e-way bill required?
Generally when the consignment value crosses the prescribed threshold (commonly ₹50,000) for the movement of goods, whether inter-state or intra-state — though intra-state thresholds and exemptions vary by state, so check your state’s notification. It can be generated from a tax invoice or a delivery challan, and OEMup raises it from whichever document applies to the movement.
Can the e-way bill be linked to the e-invoice?
Yes. Where an invoice is e-invoiced, the IRN and the e-way bill belong to the same movement, and OEMup keeps them linked so Part A details stay consistent and you don’t enter the consignment twice. You can generate the e-invoice and the e-way bill against the same document and see both numbers in one place.
How is vehicle update and validity extension handled?
When the vehicle changes mid-transit (transhipment, breakdown or a multi-leg movement), you update the Part B vehicle against the existing e-way bill rather than creating a new one. Validity is distance-based, and OEMup tracks the validity window and flags e-way bills nearing expiry so you can extend validity within the permitted window before the goods are stranded.
