Group And Leger

Accounts Organization: Ledger accounts and groups
In manual accounting, accounts are grouped upon preparation of Trial balance to prepare final accounts, namely Profit and loss A/c and Balance Sheet. In tally at the time of creation ledger accounts, we place it under appropriate account group. Account Groups provide us the ability to classify our accounts to get all the reports instantly and properly classified. We have the liberty to re-group later to suit our requirements.

Creating a Group
Tally provides a list of 28 pre-defined groups. Of these, 15 are primary groups and 13 are sub-groups. We may configure our groups to enable / disable advanced mode. Press F12 -> Accts/ Inv info -> Account Masters -> Set to yes the following options Allow Advances entries in masters Use Address for Ledger Accounts - Yes - Yes

Single group - Allows us to work on one group or sub-group at a time. Gateway of Tally -> Accounts Info -> Groups -> Single -> Create

Name of Group : Enter the name of the desired group or sub-group ( eg: Salary) Alias : Give an alias to allow access the group using the alias in addition to its name , or leave it blank Under: Specify under which existing (Parent) group the sub-classification is

needed. We can create a new parent group by using Alt +c. In other words Alt +C is the shortcut key to create a ledger or group during creation or during voucher entry.

Alterin g Groups
Once created, groups can be altered by selecting Alter for single or multiple groups. The procedure is the same as we used to display groups except of course we may alter the data.

Deleting Groups
We can delete a group via the Group Alteration screen by pressing Alt +D. However , we cannot delete Tally pre-defined groups,or groups with sub-groups, or groups containing ledgers. The lowest level must be deleted first.

Ledgers
Once we have created necessary Masters, now it is the turn of ledger creation. Tally on its own, Creates 2 ledgers listed below all others we have to create. Cash (under Cash- in - hand Group) Profit & Loss Account (Primary edger) Ledger is the actual account head to which we identify a transaction. We pass all accounting voucher entries using ledgers. All ledgers have to be classified into groups. Hence, a through understanding of account classification is important working with ledgers List of ledgers frequently used and their related Groups

1. Capital Account Capital Account 2. Name of your creditors Sundry Creditors 3. Name of your Debtors Sundry Debtors 4. Name of Expenses Direct Expenses or Indirect Expenses according to the nature of expenses 5. Name of Income Indirect Income 6. Name of Bank Bank Account 7.

Accounting Vouchers
In manual accounting, we record transactions through Journal entries. In computerized Accounting systems we do it through Voucher entry. Normally, a transaction is supported by a Document, e.g., Suppliers Bill, Copy of Sales Bill , Counter foil/ Record Slip entry of Cheque book , Pay -in-slip , Pay Register etc. For every transaction/ source document, we should enter a Voucher. A voucher contains details of the transaction. Particulars If you create Accounts voucher In this field you should specify Dr or Cr. Type the letter D or Dr over the existing prompt to change, then select the ledger name from the pop-up list that Tally opens. There may be multiple Debit and Credit entries in one single voucher. If you create Inventory voucher If you are creating inventory voucher in Tally you will give information about the stock item you receive or issue and item related details like the Godown/warehouse, Batch Details, Quantity, Rate, Amount etc. Debit / Credit Amount: This field appears in Accounts voucher only. Enter the amount of transaction and press Enter key. Tally will update current balance of the ledger and display it. This will happen only if you gave 'Yes' to the question 'Show Ledger Current Balance?' under Accounting Voucher in Vouchers Entry under F12: configure option. The total will appear on the bottom of the Debit and Credit columns. If both credit and Debit totals are not equal Tally will prompt to enter further Credit / Debit to balance the voucher. If both are equal Tally will move the cursor to Narration field. The Narration field The last field of Voucher is Narration, here you enter details of the transaction entered in the voucher. It is not mendatory / compulsory to give narration. You can type anything about the transaction or just leave this field blank. You can turn off narration by responding No to the question 'Use Common Narration?' at voucher creation/alteration screen. Saving the Voucher:

After entering narration, when you press Enter key a confirmation prompt will appear Asking 'Accept Yes/No?'. Press Y or Enter to save the voucher or press N to return cursor to the first entry allows you to alter any data in the voucher. If you give Y Tally will save the voucher and blank screen will appear next to continue voucher entry. Voucher Types in Tally: Payment voucher: The payment voucher is for all payments you make through cash or Bank. These payments can be towards expenses, purchases, to trade creditors, etc. Follow the below procedure to create a payment voucher. All payment vouchers must have first entry a debit and at least one credit to a Cash or a Bank Account. You can have any number of debit and credit entries. However, if you do not credit one cash or bank account and still try to accept the voucher a message appears asking for a cash or bank account. If configured, Fund Transfer entries can also be made in payment voucher. If you have given Yes to 'Print After Saving Voucher?' in Voucher Type creation/Alteration Tally will print the voucher immediately after saving. Receipt Voucher The receipt voucher in Tally is for all receipts into the Cash/Bank account. The voucher is similar to the payment voucher except that you debit cash or bank A/cs and credit the ledger from which you receive. The first entry in receipt must be credit and at least one debit to a cash or bank account. There can by any number of debit and credit entries.

Prompt.

Sales Voucher The first entry must be a debit involving any debtor, bank or cash account and second should be a credit to ledger placed under sales account group. Rest of the accounts may be any Revenue account or any account under the Group current liabilities. Thus you can include Duties & Taxes from 3rd entry onwards. Purchase voucher The first entry must be a credit involving any creditor, Cash or Bank account and second entry should be a debit to a ledger placed under purchase account group. Rest of the accounts may be any revenue account or any account under the Group Current Liabilities Contra Voucher The contra voucher is for Fund transfers between cash and Bank accounts only.

Voucher Types:
By default Tally 9 provides 18 types of Vouchers (with out counting payroll vouchers) for recording different natures of transactions. However, if you require further Voucher Types that function like the one of the existing type, you can create New Voucher Types and give different Voucher Numbering series. The Voucher Type facility is great as you can make several alternates of each pre-fixed Voucher Type. For example, for Sales Voucher, it may be convenient to have several Voucher Types like Cash Sales, Credit Sales, Sales To Registered Dealers, Sales to Unregistered Dealers, Export Sales, etc. By creating separate voucher types for them, you can independently configure their numbering scheme, layout, etc. Voucher Number:

To identify a voucher uniquely, normally every voucher is given unique number. The number may be allotted by the user, or can be automatically generated by Tally, according to options set in voucher Types under Accounts Info. Tally provides three options for voucher numbering 1) Automatic 2) Manual 3) None

If Automatic is opted for the selected Voucher Types, Tally allots incremental number and cursor would not move here. And we cannot change the voucher number. If Manual is specified for the selected voucher type, cursor would blink at the voucher number field to input from keyboard. We can modify the voucher Number If none is opted for the selected Voucher Type, voucher number field would not appear.

Features
Tally controls operational Features through F11: Features button. F11:Features button appear almost in every screen upon selecting a company. We get same option irrespective of screen where we launch it. Feature settings are company specific. We can activate an option for one company and deactivate the same for another company.

Accounting Features - 11
1. Integrate Accounts and Inventory: This option basically affects accounts. If we set this option to Yes, the value of stock is automatically computed on the basis of Inventory and posted in Balance sheet, Profit & loss a/c and we are not allowed to input the stock value on our own as the accounts are integrated with the Inventory Part. If we set No, our Accounts & Inventory remains separate and we have to input the value of closing stock in the ledger under Stockin-hand group which is posted in the Balance Sheet & Profit & Loss A/c.

2. Income /Expense Statement Instead of P & L: We change Profit and Loss A/c to Income and Expenditure statement. By default, Profit & Loss A/C 3. Allow Multi Currency: If we wish to record transaction in foreign currency, we should set this option to yes. On setting this feature to yes,

Currency option would be available at Accounts Info menu and in ledger creation we can specify currency for the ledger. In case we do not need foriegn currency option, we should respond No, that would keep, Accounts Info menu and ledger creation screen tidly. 4. Maintain Billwise Details: By default, Tally would maintain ledger wise balance and display net debit or credit balance for a ledger. If we receive or grant credit on purchase or sales, mere ledger balance may not reflect the true state of affairs-as a ledger may show an amount due which may not be over due on that date. By maintaining Bill wise details, we can get bill wise outstanding ,compute bill wise overdue interest , In case we need these features, respond Yes to this option that would allow to selectively option to maintain Bill Wise Details for ledgers. In case mere ledger balances is sufficient to meet our requirement. Respond No to keep the ledger creation screen more sleek. 5. Maintain Cost Centres: If we wish to make cost centre wise allocation, respond Yes that would activate Cost Centres option which we would get in Accounts inof menu 6. More than One cost Category: If we respond Yes to the above option, we are asked this question. If we wish to allocate a transaction to more than one set of cost centres simultaneously, respond Yes that would activate Cost Category option under accounts info menu and we would be able to allocate to multiple set of cost centres. 7. Interest Calculations:Interest is re-calculated with every change in balance outstanding. The Cr in the interest amount should not be confused to mean an Income. It only means that it is payable and is a liability. 8. slip. Maintain Payroll: If we set this option to yes, we can create a employee pay

Optional and Post-Dated Voucher

This is another non-accounting voucher. Unlike a Memo voucher, this is not a separate voucher type. You can mark an existing voucher (for example, a payment voucher or a receipt voucher) as Optional. Press CTRL + L or click on Optional from the Button Bar. This button toggles with Regular. By marking a voucher Optional, the voucher does not get posted anywhere but remains in the Optional Register. You can make a voucher type default to Optional if you need to create a new voucher type or alter an existing voucher type. Go to Gateway of Tally > Accounts Info > Voucher Types> select a Voucher Type> Set Make Optional as default to Yes. Enabling Optional Vouchers

1.

Go to Gateway of Tally

2. Select F11:Features > Accounting Features to display Company Operations Alteration screen 3. 4. Set Use Rev. Journals & Optional Vouchers? to Yes. Accept the screen to save.

Use of Optional Vouchers

If you do not want a transaction that is incomplete to affect the accounts, you can mark this as an Optional Voucher. Once the transaction is complete, modify the voucher and post it as Regular Voucher. For example, Performa sales invoice. In fact, an optional sales invoice prints as a Performa Invoice. Optional Vouchers allow you to see the impact of transactions without actually posting them. Optional Vouchers can be used to forecast future sales. For example, create a New Voucher Type - Sales Forecast. Record future sales projections using this voucher type. Let us consider the following example. On 30th June you want to view the Balance Sheet as of today but June rent is not due for payment until the first week of July. This liability is not reflected in the Balance Sheet. To overcome this, enter an Optional Voucher dated 30th June. The above entry is made as shown below 1. 2. 3. Enter Date Select Optional from the button bar Debit Rent account

When you view the Balance Sheet, generate a report with the Optional Voucher included. The Optional Voucher should be already defined as a Scenario (Refer section on Scenario Management for more details). The voucher affects the report temporarily. Once you quit the report, Tally does not retain the Scenario details. The next time you view the balance sheet, it will not include the effect of the Optional Voucher unless you include it.

Post-Dated Vouchers
While entering vouchers, you can mark them as post dated. Tally will not update the vouchers in ledgers until the specified date is approached. This is useful to enter transactions that take place on a regular basis. For example, if you pay for something by installments, you can set up the payments in advance, and Tally will only enter them in the ledgers as they fall due. Mark vouchers Post Dated by using CTRL + T or click on Post dated button from the Button Bar. This button toggles with Current.

Accounting with Inventory

Inventory accounting includes recording stock details, the purchase of stock, the sale of stock, stock movement between storage locations/ godowns and providing information on stock availability. With Tally it is possible to integrate the inventory and accounting systems so that financial statements reflect the closing stock value from the Inventory system. The Inventory system operates in much the same way as the accounting system. First we set up the inventory details, which is a similar operation to creating the chart of accouts although , in this case there is no pre-defined set of stock groups. Second, we create the individual stock items. which is similar to setting up the ledgers. Finally, We are ready to use vouchers to record the various stock transactions.

Stock items:
Stock items are the actual items in stock, and we account for the issued and receipts of stock at this level.

Stock Groups:
We classify stock items into stock group based on any common feature.

Stock Categories:
This is a useful Tally feature, Which allows us to classify similar stock items together across different stock groups, enabling us to obtain reports on alternatives or substitutes for a stock item.

Locations/Godowns:
We can specify where the stock items are held, e.g., which warehouse shelf or rack, obtain stock reports for each Godown, and account for movement of stock between locations/Godowns.

Units of measure:
We will need to create units of measure for stock items. These can be simple units such as nos, metres, kilograms, pieces, or compound units, e.g., box of 10 pieces or 1 dozen is 12 nos.

Maintain Accounts with Inventory

Tally displays a pop-up list called Type of Company this is how your books of accounts will be maintained.

Accounts only
Select this only if you do not have any inventory transactions (suitable for professionals and corporate offices). Tally would not permit intrusion ofInventory related information that are not required. However, at a later date (if required) you can alter the information as Maintain Accounts-with-Inventory Tally accordingly now provides all the inventory-related information.

Accounts-with-Inventory
This obviously allows you to maintain both financial accounts and inventory. You may choose not to use one or the other until the need arises.

Stock Groups
Stock items can be grouped together under Stock Groups to reflect their classification based on of some commonality. Grouping would enable easy location and reporting of stock items in statements. Hence, items of a particular brand can be grouped together so that you can extract stock of all items of that brand. For example, create Stock Groups like Sony. Your stock items could then be Sony 3.5" disks, Sony tapes, etc. Classify the Sony products under the Stock Group Sony.

Creating Single Stock Group:

Gateway of TallyInventory InfoStock GroupSingle Stock Group In the Name field Enter Sony In the under field Select Primary Can Quantities of Items be Added? Set yes

Check the data is correct and press enter and Accept Yes

Name Give the name of the stock group. Here we wish to create a group Sony. Under Specify whether it is a primary group or a sub-group of another group. Can quantities of items be ADDED?
Field allows us to specify if it is logical for totals of stock-in-hand to be displayed for this group heading in Stock Summary.

Creating Multiple Stock Group:

Select Create in multiple Stock groups to bring up the multi stock

group creation screen. Select group name from the Pop-up list of Groups for the Under Group field. In Name of Stock Group type and enter sub group name. In the next line type another group name and Accept -> yes.

Displaying and Altering Stock Groups

Once created, stock groups can be displayed and altered in single and multiple mode. We can delete a stock group via single Stock group alter by pressing <Alt>+<D>. However. we cannot delete a stock group with sub-groups or stock items.The lower levels must be deleted first

Delete a Stock Group

Note:You can delete a stock group only if it does not have any children under it. The children could be stock group or stock item or both. Gateway of Tally>Inventory Info>Stock Groups>Single Alter Press [ALT]+[D]to delete the stock group You cannot delete a stock group from multiple mode.

Stock Categories:
Stock Categories offers parallel classification of items. You may create Stock Categories like Floppy Disks and Floppy Drives. Require information like total stock of floppy disks or alternative items that could be used, these would be best available through Stock Categories. F11 Features: Maintain Stock Categories Yes

Creating Single Stock Category:

Gateway of Tally > Inventory Info > Stock Categories In the Name field Enter Floppy Disks In the under field Select Primary

Creating Multiple S tock Categories

Gateway of Tally>Inventory Info>Stock Categories>Single/Multiple Display Or Gateway of Tally>Inventory Info>Stock Categories>Single/Multiple Alter Select the stock category whose particulars you wish to display. When you display or alter a stock category, the information entered while creating it is displayed. Display from this mode is for master information only. You will not obtain any balances for a stock category here. Use the Display option from the Gateway of Tally for display of balances and transactions. In earlier days of computing, one would look at the master information for balances. Tally believes that balances are a logical consequence of the transactions; hence, they should be available with the transaction summaries. You would find all summaries and details through the Display option in the main Gateway of Tally.

Use Different Actual & Billed Quantity

This option enables you to specify quantities, that are different from that delivered, when invoicing, and record the fact. It is possible that you have delivered goods but some of them are in dispute and your customer wishes to be invoiced for only the quantity that he agrees to. He may consider the rest later and would then like to be invoiced. On the other hand, the rest is so bad that it is useless even for you to take back. Hence, you can record the fact when raising the invoice without altering the delivery note or passing a rejection entry. Select this option if you have many such occasions. Normally, the Billed and Acutal quantity is same when we set the

option Use different Actual and Billed Qty to No in F11: Features. However the quantity deliverd/ received may be different from quantity billed ub same cases as:

i.

iii.

Free items are received or given.( Free & sold items are same. For example, 1 box of Surf Excel is given free on every 5 box of surf excel. Free items are received or given. (Free & sold items are different). For example, one piece of 100gm Promise tooth pase given free on every 5 box Surf Excel. The billing quantity is rounded off Invoicing in Part.

iv. v.

If the Billing quantity is different from actual quantity, to enter both quantities in transaction, we need to activate option Use different Acutal & billed qty under F11: Features -> F2: Inventory . Consquently during transaction entry, we wil be prompted to enter 2 quantities, i.e., Actual and billed. Actual Quantity will update stock and Billed Quantity will be used to compute transaction value.

Order With Tracking Number

In Tally, order processing is linked to inventories. You can track the order position of a stock item, know what goods that were ordered have arrived, whether you have fulfilled the orders on time and what is the delay, if any. In this module, you learn how to record purchase orders, and to call the orders while entering a purchase invoice and likewise with sales orders and sales invoices. You will also learn how to display outstanding orders position and the effect of orders on stocks. Remember, orders do not affect financial records nor do they update inventories. Activate Sales and Purchase Order Processing in F11: Company Features. Activate Tracking numbers in F11: Company Features, if it is not already activated. In this unit, you will use Not Applicable for Tracking Numbers. We will take up entries using Tracking numbers in the next unit. Create a stock item Bricks with unit of measure Pcs.

Reorder Level
Reorder Level signifies the quantity of a Stock Item in hand, after reaching which you must place orders for your supplies. The importance of Reorder Level arises from the desire to have sufficient stocks to service customer orders and, at the same time, not to unnecessarily accumulate stock. Therefore, the points to be considered while deciding the reorder levels are as follows. o o o The lead-time for suppliers to deliver the stock. The delivery time specified by the customer. The stock-in-hand to satisfy orders in the meantime.

In simple mode, Tally accepts the quantities that you specify. In advanced mode, it considers the past consumption patterns to suggest reorder levels. You can however, choose to define your own reorder levels. You may also specify the minimum quantity of the item to be

ordered, either in simple or advanced mode. The purpose of specifying reorder levels is to obtain a report that indicates the quantity of a Stock Item that you must order. Specifying Reorder Levels

Go to Gateway of Tally > Inventory Info > Reorder Levels Select a group of Stock Items from the List of Groups, to specify Reorder Levels for the Stock Items in the Specify Reorder Levels screen. For each item in stock, you can define a Reorder Level and the Minimum Order Quantity. If you click Simple Reorder button, the consumption alternatives will not be available and hence you have to input the quantities. Note: The option Reorder Levels is displayed in the Inventory Info. menu only if Allow Purchase Order Processing is enabled in F11: Features.

The Reorder level screen appears as follows: The options that you have while defining Reorder Level and Minimum Order Quantity for individual stock items are as follows. Reorder Level/Quantity Enter the level/quantity in this field. Advance Parameter for Reorder Level (Consumption for the Last) This field lets Tally calculate the reorder level/order quantity based on the total consumption in the past for a chosen period. Period

The choices for periods are: Days, Weeks, Months and Years. Note that it is not the average consumption for the period but the total consumption. Enter zero (0), if you do not want Tally to calculate the reorder level based on the consumption of the item in the past. Criteria Choose whether you want the higher/lower of the two, i.e., input/calculated level/quantity. Rounding Method Specify whether the calculated level/quantity must be rounded and also the method of rounding. Minimum order quantity You can specify the minimum order quantity required.

Tracking Number You were buying and selling goods or services where the stock would be affected when making the purchase or sales entry. Many businesses deliver stock with a delivery note or a challan. The bill is raised later. The bill has to be linked or tracked with the goods already delivered. In Tally, tracking numbers do the job. Tracking numbers allow Goods Receipt and Goods Delivery Notes for goods not accompanied by an invoice to be linked with the invoice that is raised later. Of course, Tally permits the opposite too. A bill can be raised first and the goods delivered. Again, tracking numbers do the trick. Tally walk-through for using tracking numbers 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Go to voucher entry. Select Purchase, Receipt Note.

Bill of Materials
A Bill of Materials contains a list of items that make up another item. In other words, it is a list of constituent items for a product. Enable Bill of Materials Facility To activate or enable Bill of Materials go to Gateway of Tally, Click on F12: Configure and select Accounts/inventory Info from the menu. Now say yes to "Allow component list details (Bill of Materials)?"

A Bill of Material should be available while manufacturing an item. Hence, first enable manufacturing entries. This is done through a stock journal. Create a new manufacturing journal Create a new voucher type called Manufacturing Journal under Stock Journal.

1. To create a new Manufacturing Journal go to Gateway of Tally. Select Accts Info, Voucher Type and then Create. 2. Give Mfg.Journal (Manufacturing Journal) as the name and under ' Voucher types' select Stock Journal. 3. Follow the normal Voucher type creation as explained earlier for the rest. 4. Select Yes for "Use as Manufacturing Journal" and accept the screen.

Create a Bill of Material You can create a Bill of Material (BoM) for any stock item. Typically, you would like to create a BoM only for those items that are being manufactured.

Accept all other defaults. None of the items will have any opening stock balance. The purpose of creating a bill of material is to enable consumption of the materials in the ratio specified when the product is manufactured. Tally uses a Manufacturing Journal to enter goods manufactured with bill of materials. First you should purchase the components required to produce the television. Make a purchase voucher entry as follows: On 21 December 08, bought 10 pcs each of the following at the standard cost mentioned against them: 1. 300. VDU - 2000, Picture Tube - 3750, Sound Card - 500, IC Chips - 5000, Aerial -
