Why not a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet holds the numbers. It cannot hold the close.

Spreadsheets are flexible and familiar, and they are not the problem — the missing review trail is. These six requirements decide whether a month can be defended after it is filed.

Spreadsheet versus GSTRecon360 across matching, evidence, IMS and e-invoice, multi-client, freeze and reports
The month needsSpreadsheetGSTRecon360
Matching LOOKUPs and fuzzy rules rebuilt by hand, silently broken by the next template change. Two deterministic passes score every pair 0–100 and keep the reason beside the invoice.
Evidence Variance notes live in cells, comments and email threads; the trail depends on who kept it. Reason, owner, comments and source files stay attached from upload to freeze.
IMS & e-invoice IMS status is a report you re-check manually; cancelled IRNs are easy to miss. IMS decisions and IRP matching sit beside the 2B result, so cancellations surface in the queue.
Multi-client One workbook per client per month; version control is file names and folders. Every client period is its own workspace with scoped access, roles and history.
Freeze “Final” is a filename. Any edit can quietly change a number after review. Freeze locks files, matches and decisions into an immutable snapshot; later changes are visible revisions.
Reports Working papers assembled after the fact, from whatever the workbook still contains. Working paper, difference report and ITC summary export from the frozen month, timestamped.

A spreadsheet is still the right tool for plenty of finance work. This is about the close of record.See the full seven-step close

Product tour

Five surfaces. One continuous close.

Available today

GSTR-2B vs books

Upload GSTR-2B JSON or Excel and the purchase register from your ERP. Every pair is scored and every difference carries a plain-English reason.

  • Guided validation before matching
  • 20 reconciliation result categories
  • ITC summary + GSTR-3B table 4 support
In this release

IMS decisions

Read the IMS status on each GSTR-2B invoice and record the accept, reject, or pending decision beside the reconciliation result — so the ITC you file matches what you actually actioned.

  • IMS status on every 2B invoice
  • Accept / Reject / Pending tracked
  • Decisions preserved in the month freeze
In this release

E-invoice reconciliation

Match the purchase register against IRP e-invoice data, surface invoices missing from the IRP, and catch cancelled IRNs before they become exposed credit.

  • IRN-level books vs IRP matching
  • Cancelled-IRN detection
  • Exceptions routed like any other difference
Month-close flow

One month. Four controlled stages.

Every stage has a status, an owner, and a hand-off. The evidence is captured as the work happens.

01

Upload

Validate GSTIN, return period, headers, duplicates, and totals before any row enters matching.

02

Match

Score every pair against invoice number, tax, value, and date — with cross-month context.

03

Resolve

Assign each exception an owner, attach evidence, chase the vendor, and record the decision.

04

Freeze

Lock the approved month into an immutable snapshot with timestamped Excel exports.

Evidence trail

The evidence trail is a by-product, not the cleanup.

Freezing a month locks the source files, the matches, the decisions, and the activity history together. Later revisions stay visible; nothing is silently overwritten.

  • Immutable freeze snapshot — approved state cannot be overwritten
  • Append-only activity history with owner, time, and request context
  • Timestamped working paper, difference report, and ITC summary exports

Trust & security

Evidence you can defend. Access you control.

Four facts about how the workspace is built, and what it will never ask of you.

Immutable freeze

Freezing locks the approved state — files, matches, decisions and timestamps. Later changes become visible audited revisions, never silent overwrites.

Append-only audit chain

Uploads, freezes and administrative changes are recorded with actor, time and request context, with chained hashes.

No GST portal credentials

You download GSTR-2B from the portal and upload the file. GSTRecon360 never asks for, stores or uses your portal password.

Independent of GSTN

GSTRecon360 is an independent product, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to GSTN or the Government of India.
