E-Way Bills
Goods worth the threshold or more (₹50,000 unless the Indian Entity says otherwise) do not move without one. Valid one day per 200 km (20 km for over-dimensional cargo), to midnight of the last day; both are settings on the Indian Entity.

The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
