This may result in interest, penalties, notices from the GST department and possible loss of input tax credit. The exact penalty depends on the type and seriousness of the non-compliance.
To create an SAP PO that matches the GST invoice, first enter the correct vendor, material or service, quantity and price.

For 5% GST, the SAP tax code depends on the company's SAP configuration. There is no single standard tax code that applies to every company. Usually, a specific tax code is created for 5% GST, covering the applicable CGST and SGST or IGST.
So, we should check the company's SAP tax-code configuration before using a particular code.
