Sandbox for e-Waybill
A lot of functionality has been developed around e-Waybill, and you may test it out in the Sandbox mode as you like with the following restrictions (for sandbox only):
- Although the distance is auto-populated for live APIs, it's not the same for the sandbox. So you may need to give a dummy distance between 1 to 4000 km.
- Use
05AAACG2140A1ZL
as transporter GSTIN if required. - You can use all other functionality, including print, attach, update, extend or cancel to test the APIs.
Sandbox for e-Invoice
You can test e-Invoice and its interaction with e-Waybill with the following restrictions (for sandbox only):
- You shall not be able to print or attach e-Waybill print. This is not possible as APIs are different with different user credentials.
- You will not be able to update the transporter or vehicle information from the sandbox.
- Other than this, you can test the generation or cancellation of e-Invoice & e-Waybill.
Sandbox for Public APIs
Please note that Public APIs are not supported in the sandbox mode.
