What is the purpose of the e-Commerce Operator field in invoices?

If you’re selling items to your customers through e-commerce websites, the e-commerce details can be added in the E-Commerce Operator field. The associated details will be reflected under the Supplies through ECO section of the GSTR-1 report and under 3.1.1 Details of supplies notified under sub-section (5) of section 9 of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act of the GSTR-3B.

The E-Commerce Operator field can be enabled by following these steps:

• Navigate to Settings at the top right corner of the page.
• Select Invoices under Sales.
• Go to Field Customization and place the cursor near E-commerce Operator.
• Click the down arrow next to the status tab and choose Mark as Active.
