How many e-way bills are required to be generated to ship a consignment to a customer involving multiple transporters (having different Transporter IDs) in between?
How will the one invoice-one e-way bill validation be complied here since end customer is only one?
One e-Way bill needs to be generated against the Invoice.
Above situation is known as “Transshipment”.
Transporter can also re-assign another transporter by updating transporter ID on the eway bill portal.
Once transporter re-assigns another transporter, seller cannot make any changes to assigned transporter.
So, the user has to generate different delivery challans against the invoice based on the different Transporter ID, because different e-way bills against a single invoice is not possible and will also cause the problem in populating the data in the GSTR-1.

EWAY Bill
Is e-Way bill required, if the value of shipment per customer per day exceeds Rs 50,000* ?
How will we take multiple invoices under single e-way bill?
Here, it depends whether the supplier himself is the transporter or not. If he is the transporter, then he is required to generate the e-way bill for all the invoices but if not, then the transporter will be required to generate the e-way bill against all the invoices in the Vehicle.
