Delivery Address State Validation Issue for Same Contact with Different GST State

Hello Odoo Community,

I am facing a configuration issue related to customer addresses and GST state validation in Odoo and would appreciate your guidance.

Scenario:

  • My customer’s main contact has a GST number registered in Maharashtra.

  • The billing address is also in Maharashtra.

  • The same customer has a delivery (ship-to) address in another state.

  • While creating this delivery address under the same contact, Odoo shows a warning that the state should be Maharashtra.

Concern:

As per GST rules, the delivery address can be in a different state, and IGST should apply.

However, due to this validation, I am unable to save the delivery address correctly.

My questions:

  1. Is this behavior standard in Odoo for GST-registered contacts?

  2. What is the recommended approach in this case?

    • Should we create a separate contact for the delivery address?

    • If yes, how can it remain logically linked to the main customer without affecting reporting and invoicing?

  3. Is there any configuration or best practice to allow delivery addresses in other states under the same GST contact?

Any guidance, configuration tips, or community best practices would be very helpful.

Thank you

Hello Rounak,

Yes, this behavior is standard in Odoo (India GST localization).

Why Odoo shows this warning
  • In Odoo, GST number is linked to a specific State

  • When a contact has a GSTIN, Odoo expects the billing (legal) address state to match the GST registration state

  • This validation is mainly for GST compliance, not delivery logistics

Correct & recommended approach 

Do NOT put a different-state delivery address under the same GST contact

Instead:

Use a Delivery Address (Child Contact)
  • Keep the main contact with:

    • GSTIN

    • Billing address = GST registration state (Maharashtra)

  • Create a child contact:

    • Type = Delivery Address

    • State = actual delivery state

    • No GSTIN on delivery address

This way:

 Billing address controls GST logic

 Delivery address can be in another state

 IGST will apply correctly

 Reporting & invoicing remain clean

Important notes
  • GST is always determined from the billing address

  • Delivery address is allowed to be in a different state

  • Odoo warning is to prevent invalid GST master data

    If this helped, kindly upvote.
