Refrens makes it super easy to download your GSTR-2B report and view it in an organized manner.

Here's how to get started:

### 1) Enable API Request

To fetch your GSTR-2B purchase reports on Refrens, you first need to enable API access and configure the correct GSP and ASP on the GST Portal.

Follow these steps:

**Step 1:** Log in to the [GST Portal](https://www.gst.gov.in/).

**Step 2:** Navigate to **My Profile**.

**Step 3:** Under **Quick Links**, click on **Manage API Access**.

**Step 4:** Enable API access by selecting **Yes** and set the access duration to **30 Days**, if prompted.

### 5) View the GSTR-2B Report on Refrens

Although you can view all your GSTR-2B data in Excel, we recommend using the Refrens dashboard for a more organized view.

As you see below, the dashboard provides three different ways to view your GSTR-2B data:1) Summary View, 2) Vendor View, and 3) Detailed View

![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/2043548552172/original/1jxntDQsycUbNv1OZPYegpAhlBQ0EwdZxg.png?1720592595)

Let's see the difference between the three:

###### 1) Summary View

The summary view gives you the category-wise summary of all purchases (Example categories: B2B Invoices, B2B Credit/Debit Notes, B2B Amendments, ECO invoices, ECO amendments, ISD Credits, ISD Amendments, etc.)

Sample Summary View:

As you see above, Refrens provides different filters (Filter by month, Filter by category, ITC Available/Unavailable) for better convenience.

###### 2) Vendor View

The vendor view categorizes all your purchases by vendors as shown below:

###### 3) Detailed View

The detailed view gives you an exhaustive look at all your purchases in one place:
