Export invoices with the paperwork attached
Shipping bill, port code, incoterm, FX rate and the LUT or IGST-paid declaration — on one document your bank and your customs broker can both read.

Zero-rated, correctly
Exports under a Letter of Undertaking carry no IGST and print the Rule 96A declaration. Exporting with payment of IGST instead? Toggle it and the tax appears with the refund declaration.
FX rate and reporting total
Record the rate and the date you took it. The invoice restates the total in your reporting currency, which is what the books and the inward remittance need.
Customs fields in a proper grid
Shipping bill number and date, port code, destination, country of origin, incoterm and vessel or flight each get a labelled cell instead of being crammed into the notes.
LUT versus payment of IGST
An export of goods or services from India is a zero-rated supply. There are two routes. Under a Letter of Undertaking you export without paying integrated tax, and the invoice must carry the endorsement required by Rule 96A referring to the LUT. Alternatively you export on payment of IGST and claim a refund of the tax paid under Section 16(3)(b), and the invoice carries that endorsement instead.
Getting the endorsement wrong is a common reason refunds stall. Invoicr prints the correct wording for whichever route you select, and reminds you to record your LUT or ARN reference when you choose the LUT route.
The exchange rate matters more than people expect
Your invoice is in the currency you will be paid in, but your books, your GST return and your shipping bill are in rupees. The rate you use and the date you took it therefore need to be on the document, not in a spreadsheet somewhere.
Invoicr records both, prints them in the compliance grid, and restates the invoice total in the reporting currency at that rate so there is a single number everyone can agree on.
Shipping bill and port code
For goods, the shipping bill number and date and the six-character port code are what tie your invoice to the customs record. Without them a refund claim has nothing to match against.
For services there is no shipping bill, and Invoicr treats those fields as warnings rather than errors so a software exporter is not blocked by a field that does not apply to them.
