Lesson 19-Creating Sales Voucher



Sales Entry

Sales Voucher is used to record the Sales transactions of the company. You can pass an entry using the Voucher mode or the Invoice mode where the calculations can be automated and the transactions can be fed into the system easily.

Creating a Sales Entry

When a company sells goods on credit or cash, Sales voucher is used to record all the Sales transactions of the company.
To pass a Sales Voucher:
Go to Gateway of Tally > Accounting Vouchers
·         Click on F8:Sales on the Button Bar or press F8.
For example, if you are selling goods to Debtor A for a value of Rs. 10000/-
a) Debit Customer’s Account
          b) Credit Sales Account




Creating a Sales Invoice

When a sales transaction is made, a document detailing the transaction (item name, tax, etc) has to be given to the buyer or debtor as proof of purchase by him. This document is called Invoice or Bill or Cash Memo. Tally.ERP 9 provides the option of creating Invoices.
Invoice mode is of two types.  It may be:
1.      An Account Invoice
2.      An Item Invoice

Account Invoice:  

Sales Account Invoice is generally used by professionals such as doctors and consultants who require to issue an invoice for certain services provided such as consultancy charges, professional fees, etc.
Trading and manufacturing organizations also use the Account Invoice for invoicing service charges.
On the Sales entry screen, click on Acct Invoice button, which is displayed on the Button Bar on the right-hand side of the screen to display the Sales Account Invoice screen as shown.
Pass a Sales Account Invoice for Service provided to Debtor B:


Tally.ERP's Account Invoice mode displays the list of ledger accounts, which can be invoiced as required. This is unlike Item Invoice where Tally.ERP 9 displays the list of stock items.

Item Invoice:

Invoicing is generally used for sale of stock where the details of the items sold are listed. Selecting the Item Invoice allows you to select the stock items that need to be invoiced. Trading and manufacturing organizations commonly use this format.
On the Sales invoice screen, click on the button Item Invoice, which is displayed on the Button Bar on the right side of the screen and the Sales Item Invoice appears as shown below:
Pass a Sales Invoice against sale of Item A – 50 Nos. @ Rs. 15/= per quantity to Debtor C:
