POS and ERP software for India: every State and UT

One GST, a separate code for every State and UT

India has one Goods and Services Tax, but it is administered through State-wise registrations. Each of the 28 States and 8 Union Territories has its own two-digit code, and every GSTIN begins with it: 07 for Delhi, 27 for Maharashtra, 29 for Karnataka. A sale inside one State carries CGST plus SGST, or CGST plus UTGST in the five Union Territories without a legislature, while a sale to another State carries IGST at the full rate.

For a business that trades in more than one State, that structure has real weight. A distributor in Indore that opens a depot in Nagpur needs a second registration, a second invoice series and a second set of returns, yet the owner still wants one view of stock, cash and profit. Software for India therefore has to keep branches apart for tax and bring them together for management. Skyline Nexus ERP is built around exactly that split.

Modules India businesses start with

• Accounting and branches
• Multi-branch POS
• Inventory and warehouses
• CRM
• Projects and job costing
• Manufacturing (MES)

What Skyline Nexus ERP runs for an Indian business

Skyline Nexus ERP covers the daily work of a shop, a distributor or a small factory in one system. The POS handles cash registers, restaurant and kitchen features and weighing-scale integration. Purchases, supplier bills and returns sit next to inventory that is held per location and costed by FIFO or LIFO, so cost of goods follows the actual lots sold rather than an estimate typed in at year end.

Beyond the counter, Skyline Nexus brings CRM (leads, follow-ups, campaigns and proposals), projects with tasks, milestones and budgets, MES manufacturing with work orders, bills of materials and routings, CMMS maintenance and asset records, plus cost centres with budget against actual. Module availability depends on the package you choose. The interface is in English with a Hindi interface translation available, the business currency can be INR, and dates can follow the dd-mm-yyyy format Indian accountants expect.

From a POS sale to the trial balance, automatically

In Skyline Nexus ERP an administrator switches on Auto-post Sales Transactions in the accounting settings; the toggles start off. From then on, every final POS sale or sales invoice posts a balanced journal right after it is saved: cash or receivable on one side, sales by category and output tax on the other, and cost of goods against inventory at the cost of the lot consumed. Drafts and quotations do not post.

Purchases, purchase returns, customer and supplier payments and expenses post the same way. The result is that the Trial Balance, the Income Statement with previous-period comparison, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow statement, the General Ledger, the Day Book and receivable and payable ageing are current on any working day. A Data Verification report compares the trial balance, ledger entries and POS transactions, and the Audit Pack exports the year's books to one Excel workbook for your chartered accountant.

Branches across States

Under GST law a business needs a separate registration in each State or Union Territory where it supplies from, so a chain with outlets in Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai holds three GSTINs. Skyline Nexus ERP models each outlet or depot as a business location with its own invoice numbering scheme, invoice layout, payment methods and stock. Staff can be limited to the locations they work in, and location-wise stock reports show what sits where.

The trial balance, profit and loss account and balance sheet in Skyline Nexus can be filtered by branch or shown for all locations together. Two caveats matter: opening balances in the general ledger are left out of the per-branch view, and the Cash Flow statement has no branch filter. Stock transfers between locations move quantities but do not post to the ledger, and a transfer between two GSTINs of one company is a taxable supply, so bill it as a sale.

GST in Skyline Nexus ERP: what works today and what is still coming

What works today in Skyline Nexus ERP: you set up GST rates and tax groups, for example CGST 9% plus SGST 9% for a sale inside the State or IGST 18% for a sale to another State, and pick the right group on products and invoices yourself. The slabs in force since 22 September 2025 are mainly 5%, 18% and 40%. Invoices can print an HSN column taken from the product category code, and the amount in words can follow lakh and crore.

What is not live yet: suppliers above INR 5 crore aggregate turnover must report B2B invoices to the IRP for an IRN, which Skyline Nexus does not do yet. E-way bills for goods worth more than INR 50,000 are not generated, and GSTR returns are not prepared or filed from the system, so your accountant's filing routine stays. Automatic place-of-supply switching, offline billing, TDS and TCS handling and Indian payroll are not available either.

Getting started: waitlist, demo and State pages

India onboarding for Skyline Nexus ERP currently runs through the India waitlist and a live demo: use Join the waitlist, Book a demo or Ask on WhatsApp on this page. Support comes by WhatsApp, phone and e-mail; there is no office in India. Each State and Union Territory page explains its State code, whether CGST pairs with SGST or UTGST, and its registration threshold, and the city pages cover local markets from Mumbai to Kolkata.

Before the demo, prepare the data that makes the first week productive: your product list and opening stock for CSV import, customers and suppliers with GSTIN and opening balances, your chart of accounts and the branches you run in each State. Skyline Nexus is set up with a financial year starting in April, INR as the currency, dd-mm-yyyy dates and Indian-system amounts in words on invoices.

1. Join the India waitlist and note how many States you sell from and how many outlets or godowns you run.
2. Export your item master, opening stock and customer and supplier list with GSTINs to spreadsheets.
3. List the GST tax groups you use, such as CGST plus SGST pairs and IGST, with the HSN codes per category.
4. Book a demo and ask to see one sale flow from the counter into the trial balance and balance sheet.

Questions from businesses in India

Can Skyline Nexus ERP get an IRN yet for Indian B2B invoices?

No, not yet. Suppliers whose aggregate turnover exceeds INR 5 crore must obtain an IRN from the Invoice Registration Portal for B2B invoices, and Skyline Nexus ERP does not connect to the IRP today. Businesses under that limit can issue invoices from Skyline Nexus with GST tax groups and an HSN column. Larger suppliers should join the waitlist and keep their current IRN route until the connection is live.

Which Union Territories use UTGST instead of SGST?

UTGST replaces SGST in the Union Territories without their own legislature: Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Ladakh and Chandigarh. Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir have legislatures and use SGST. In Skyline Nexus ERP you create a CGST plus UTGST tax group for such a branch and select it on local sales, because the software does not switch groups by place of supply.

Can a distributor with depots in several States use one Skyline Nexus ERP account?

Yes. Skyline Nexus ERP treats each depot as a business location with its own invoice numbering, invoice layout, payment methods and stock, which matches the separate GSTIN a distributor holds in each State. Reports such as the trial balance and balance sheet can be read per depot or consolidated. Inter-State transfers between GSTINs are taxable supplies, so they should be billed as sales between branches.

Does Skyline Nexus ERP work for a small manufacturer in India?

Skyline Nexus ERP includes MES manufacturing with work orders, bills of materials and routings, alongside purchases, FIFO or LIFO stock costing and CMMS maintenance for machines, depending on the package. A small Indian manufacturer can therefore track raw material, production and finished goods in the same ledger that carries its sales. Indian payroll for PF and ESI is not part of Skyline Nexus, so wages stay in a separate tool.

How is Skyline Nexus ERP different from a typical billing app in India?

Many billing apps print GST bills and count stock, while the books are often kept elsewhere and rebuilt at month or year end. Skyline Nexus ERP posts each final POS sale to a double-entry ledger once auto-posting is on, so the trial balance, P&L and balance sheet are current and filter by branch. Some billing apps are ahead today on IRN, e-way bills and offline billing, which Skyline Nexus does not offer yet.

Is Skyline Nexus ERP available in Hindi and in Indian rupees?

Skyline Nexus ERP runs with an English interface and a Hindi interface translation is available for staff who prefer it. The business currency can be set to INR, dates to dd-mm-yyyy and the financial year to start in April. Invoices can print the amount in words in the Indian system with lakh and crore, while figures themselves use standard thousands separators.
