Export invoices
When you sell to customers outside India, GST Manager can give those invoices their own separate sequence — a number like EXP-2026-1 — running alongside the standard invoice number. This keeps your export documents cleanly numbered for FEMA and RBI purposes without disturbing your regular domestic numbering. It's optional, so you turn it on only if you need it.
GST Manager → Setup → Export Settings
When a number is assigned
An export number isn't reserved the moment an invoice is created. GST Manager assigns the next EXP-{YEAR}-N value when an export invoice is paid, so your sequence only ever counts real, completed export sales — no gaps from abandoned orders. The standard invoice number is still assigned as usual; the export number is in addition to it. Which invoices count as exports is decided by the GST classification — anything billed outside India.
Turning it on
You configure everything under GST Manager → Setup → Export Settings:
- Switch on Separate export numbering — its help reads "Assign EXP-{YEAR}-N numbers to invoices for customers outside India in addition to the standard invoice number."
- Set the Number format using the template tokens (this is where the
EXP-{YEAR}-Nshape comes from), and the Next number to start the sequence where you want. - Fill in the Export declaration and the FEMA declaration — the latter's help notes it is a "Foreign Exchange Management Act compliance statement; printed below the export declaration."
Click Save changes; you'll see "Settings saved."
Where the declarations appear
Both statements print in the footer of the export invoice PDF, beneath the export document title. Combined with the Export no. label near the top, the resulting Export Invoice carries everything a foreign-currency sale needs. See how the whole document is laid out on the Invoice PDF page.
