One of the pre-conditions for computerization of central excise records is:
In case of computer generated invoice, the serial number may be allowed to
be generated and printed by computer at the time of preparation of invoice
only if the software is such that computer automatically generates the number
and same number can not be generated more than once. For this purpose, the
central excise officers may check the system / software from time to time.

Internal circular of excise department vis a vis X-ise and ACE |
|
|
Our X-ise software had strictly adhered to this norm. But our ACE software,
does allows to re-print already printed invoices and also has an option to
mark an already printed invoice as 'not-printed'.
Since ACE and X-ise software can be used in an integrated manner, many of
our customers use both of them. Till some time back, there was the following
flaw:
- generate and print invoice from X-ise
- from ACE, mark this invoice as 'not-printed'f
- come back to X-ise, edit and re-print this invoice
This malpractice was being done by one of our customers and was detected by
central excise officers. Subsequent to this central excise people have
issued internal circular stating the above flaw in our software. |
