The credit you claim,
against the credit they filed.

Import the GSTR-2B the portal issues for a period and reconcile it line by line against the vendor bills already in your books. What matches, what you recorded and they did not, and what they filed and you never booked.

The reconciliation that decides your input credit. Claiming against a bill your supplier never filed is the mismatch that comes back months later.

Getting it in

The portal’s file, per period.

Import a periodLoad the GSTR-2B for a return period. Imports are listed, so you can see which periods have been brought in and when.
Replace a periodA period can be removed and re-imported when the portal reissues it, rather than accumulating two versions of the same month.
The comparison

Matched, missing, and unrecorded.

Three outcomes, and the two that are not "matched" are the ones worth your morning.

MatchedThe bill you booked and the invoice they filed agree. Nothing to do, which is most of it.
In your books, not in 2BYou recorded a purchase your supplier has not filed. This is the credit at risk, and the call to make.
In 2B, not in your booksThey filed an invoice you never recorded — either a missing bill or something billed to you in error.

Know your input credit before you claim it.

The reconciliation runs against the bills already in your ledger, so there is nothing to prepare before you can run it.
