How to Manage IMS Inward Supplies in TallyPrime

IMS brings supplier-uploaded inward invoices into a review workflow where accounts teams can compare portal information with books, decide the correct action and understand the effect on Input Tax Credit.

What the IMS action statuses mean

• Accept when the invoice is valid for the intended treatment
• Reject when the invoice should not be accepted
• Pending when more review is required
• No Action when the invoice has not yet been classified

A practical review sequence

• Download the latest IMS inward data
• Compare supplier GSTIN, invoice number, date, taxable value and tax with books
• Resolve differences before assigning action status
• Upload eligible actions and refresh GST status
• Recompute or download GSTR-2B when ITC needs to reflect the latest IMS position

Why this matters

IMS should be treated as a reconciliation and decision process, not a one-click acceptance process. A clean review trail reduces avoidable ITC errors and supplier follow-up.
