Item Rules

Map specific tax classification codes to products and service types under Addons → GST Manager → Item Rules:

• GST classification: Assigns exact Services Accounting Codes (SAC) per product.
• Export compliance: Attaches Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Purpose Codes for foreign remittances.
• Automated stamping: Line items inherit mapped codes automatically on invoice generation.

Addons → GST Manager → Item Rules

What these codes are

• SAC (Services Accounting Code): Statutory code classifying services for Indian GST computation.
• Purpose Code (RBI): Central bank code classifying inward foreign currency remittances for export compliance.

Defaults vs rules

GST Manager resolves codes hierarchically:

• System baseline: Default SAC and Purpose codes configured under System Setup → SAC & Purpose Codes (e.g. Hosting, Domains, Product Upgrades, Addons).
• Product overrides: Item Rules override global defaults for specialized products, software licenses, or custom professional services.

Add or edit a rule

1. Navigate to Addons → GST Manager → Item Rules.
2. Select the target product or service type from the dropdown.
3. Enter the specific SAC code and optional RBI Purpose code.
4. Click Save Changes to apply the mapping to future invoices.

To revert a product to global category defaults, delete the corresponding item rule.

Exports lean on both codes

For non-Indian clients, the SAC and Purpose codes flow into your export invoices and the Export Invoices CSV. See export compliance and tax reports.
