Cheque printing in TallyERP.9

You can choose to print Cheques in Tally.ERP 9 at the time of making payments to Creditors/ parties during Voucher Entry i.e., directly from the Payment Vouchers and Inter-bank payment or transfers through Contra Vouchers.

·         Set/Alter Cheque Printing Configuration to Yes.

·    Company Name on Cheque: To print the company name on the cheque for signature purposes, mention the name of the Company (for example, ABC Company). If you do not want Tally.ERP 9 to print the name, you can leave it blank. Many banks issue cheques with your company name printed.

    1. Mr. Nilkanth
      First you need to configure option to print bsnl pune instead of telephone expenses. In payment voucher entry press F12 and go to option Bank Allocation Options. Select no to Use default for bank allocations.

      Now when you pass a voucher entry and go to bank ledger account there is option available for entering cheque data in bank allocation. In bank allocation, there is option "Favouring Name", you can enter A O BSNL PUNE in this field and print the cheque. You can now see there is AO BSNL Pune print on cheque instead of telephone expenses.

  17. The collapsed postcard is best when you require the additional space for your publicizing duplicate. Have the folds partition the card into boards or ranges you can use to sort out your content. cheapest color copies print
