Connect with the IRP

To start e-Invoicing, you need to connect Zoho Books with the e-Invoicing Portal, Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), after which you can push invoices to the portal easily. The steps involved in connecting to the IRP will vary based on whether you generate e-Way Bills through Zoho Books or not.
