The Data Catalog page (LSCMY Data Catalog) is the central reference data store for the MY ClearTax e-Invoicing integration. It holds code tables for all data types that must be submitted to ClearTax in a prescribed format. Before you can complete the E-Invoice Setup or assign classification and payment codes to items and tender types, the relevant catalog data types must be populated.
To open the Data Catalog:
- Click the
icon, enter Data Catalog, and select the relevant link. - Use the Data Type filter at the top of the page to select which category of codes you want to view or maintain.
