    If your office location is in Mumbai from where you have to prepare books of account,and your business unit is in Delhi,then you have to select your state as Delhi and not Maharashtra.

    Now you have to select method of accounts i.e. Accounts only or Accounts with inventory

    If you select accounts only then you will not be able to keep record of inventory.

    image_thumb10

    Further, you have to select period of accounting year.

    Accounting year is a period for which books of accounts are being managed.

    Calendar year is the year starting from 1st January of any year and ends on 31st December of the same year.

    Financial year is a year which starts on 1st April of a calendar year and ends on 31st March of the subsequent calendar year.

    company only to comply with the provisions of the companies act in case of newly formed company.

    So  any case the financial year from should be the 1st April of the calendar year for which you want to start books of account regardless to the fact when the business was started.

    The second selection is starting date of books of account. This is the date of starting your books of account. but be careful while selecting this date.

    If you were maintaining your books of account on manual and from 1st April, 2009, you have decided to write books in tally then your financial year as well as books beginning will start from 1st April, 2009.

    for running business you can not choose any other date then the 1st April of the calendar year.

    so, books begin date must be 1st April of the financial year for all business except those which start during the middle of a financial year.

    Let’s say your business starts on 1st July, 2009, then the Financial year will be 1st April, 2009 and books begin from will be 1st July, 2009

        Dear sir,

        1. please check your all the opening balances reference’s, may be u used the 50 no in opening balance…ok

        2.while creating new company there is no mandatory field of Tally vault, you can skip this by pressing enter or tab button and if you press any other key than that will be your vault password and you will have to enter again this and also when creation process completed… so kindly check.

        Thanks

      give me rules of ledger entries

      • Mahendra says:

        Naseem,
        In a computerised accounting system like, there is no way to post ledger entries in any way. One need to post only voucher entry and ledger prepared by the accounting software tally.erp 9 itself.
        For voucher entry rules, please browse category of basic rules of accountings

        Dear Akash,
        After creating the company, you need to create some ledger account. Then start posting vouchers in the payment voucher type.just debit the expenses and credit the cash/bank account.
        Tally.erp 9 requires only practice and excercise

      Thank You Very Much

      Akash Garg

      • Mahendra says:

        Sorry Aakash,
        I don’t have any such things ready made available.
        Also accounting is something that you can learn and do only based on actual bills/documents.
        Examples are based on a copy of bills/vouchers and I can’t create so many bills/vouchers.
        My students who work actually with different organisation they send me scan copy of their bills/vouchers and by that way, I guide them how to make entries.
        That is the only way to learn accounts.
        Daily I receive such 10-15 requests from my readers to send them materials on their mail ID which Generally I don’t reply.This is first time I am replying on such request.

    10. james says:

        • nawaz says:

          dEAR mahendra :

          I m using tally in first time before using this software i was using oracle financial ,but tally is so sample as compare to oracle.But here i also face some dificulties.I m working with matche manufacturing company & electornic compay in Congo.we r using tally soft ware but we r also facing problem in inventory.the inventory portion is more confusing .i want to find the cost of good sold through inventory outflow .but in inventory outflow report tallyy also included all transfer which we transfer internally.

          • Mahendra says:

            Hi Nawaz,
            Glad to know that you are using Tally.erp 9.
            You surely can overcome this problem. Create a new Voucher e.g. “Internal Stock Transfer ” type under Stock journal and use this voucher type while recording the internal stock transfer. Than move all your internal stock transfer entries to this voucher type.
            Once you finish this go to Stock records use Filter option e.g. Alt +F12 and select the criteria as per your requirement. you will get the desired result for sure

    12. Akash Garg says:

      Dear mahenra i have an confusion.
      suppose i purchase 2-3 items like pant and steel. when i purchase steel or paint my inventory update. But I sale the steel after paint called “painted steel”. But I have no inventory in painted steel
      so how i make sales entry.
      After sales entry i have nothing to sale But my paint and steel inventory is full.And Painted steel inventory is going in minus because i purchase no painted steel but sell only painted steel.
      How I adjust all the thing?
      Thanks and Regards
      Akash Garg

      • Mahendra says:

        Dear Akash,
        You need to pass manufacturing journal for production of painted steel material.
        In that just use painted steel as destination production while paint and steel material will be entered under consumption (source material)
        Please go through the article i have published in this regard. IF you are not able to locate the same, then I will send you the link for the same by evening today.

      • H.M.Rawat says:

        Akash Gargjee,

        You should enter the painted steel entry through stock journal or mfg. journal firstly so that painted steel qty. enter in your inventory then you enter sale invoice.

        H.M.Rawat

    13. Akash Garg says:

      Dear Mahendra,
      PLease send me the link of that article.
      Thanks and regards
      Akash Garg

      • Mahendra says:

        Akash,
        At the moment, I have been busy. but can give you a quick reference.
        Just go to main menu of tally.erp 9 then select inventory vouchers. it will show you transfer of materials voucher types
        there you will find two side (Left) for source/consuption
        Here select the material which is consumed e.g. one by one paint , steel etc. then fill up the qty. leave rate field blank
        after that on right side you will destination/production entries. here just select item painted steel and fill the qty you have produced.
        please note that to use this feature inventory must be enabled in your company. otherwise you will not be able to use the same.
        I will write a detailed article on this matter in coming days.

    20. kagazwala says:

      Dear Mahendra

      I am a small business owner using tally
      I am facing problem with sundry debtor and creditor
      the problem is some times the debtor becomes creditor and visa versa

      its because at time my clients pay me advance before buying goods and some times i sell on credit to the same client. What is the right way to handle this problem

      I would also like to have a complete tutorial of help by you on Tally ERP 9 if you have, because learning short short articles is difficult.

      Kind Regards
      Kagazwala

      • Mahendra says:

        Kagazwalaji,
        You have to enable reference (bill wise details) for suppliers and your clients. Then all entries should be done through reference number (advance, new ref/on account or against ) When we sell/purchase goods with same client then it is normal that there may be debit or credit balance however in this case as suggested above, will help you to get a correct position.
        Be assure there is no complete tutorial available in this world for any accounting software since accounting is generally affect by the laws and laws are ever changing so material prepared on today will become irrelevant tomorrow in view of such changes. So, you have no option except to learn short short articles

    21. kagazwala says:

      Mahendra ji

      But how to define my client

      as Sundry Debtor OR sundry Creditor

      Best Wishes
      kagazwala

      • Mahendra says:

        Kagazwalaji,
        I also face the same problem that is we frequently receive advances from the our clients. but let me share with you how I handle this issue. A debtors is always shown under Sundry debtors group to whom we sale goods now when we receive advances from then the its mess entire balance sheet that is current assets in balance sheet show under the capial and liabilities side. This is basically very true and there is nothing wrong. But I don’t like this kind balance sheet. So, I use a small trick. I created a new sub group ” Advances from Customers” under the Sundry Debtors/Current liabilities so whenever I have to prepare a balance sheet I just change the group of all such debtors from whom we receive advances to Advance from Customers Group and after that I again change it to default position.

        Irfan,
        First of all, you need to learn some basic of accountancy. Without knowing the basic, no one can learn any accounting software unless they are working under some experienced persons. So, if you want to learn it on your own, please read as much as possible various articles published in the blog. then create some ledgers,groups etc. Then post some examples vouchers in different ways.In case you face any trouble, give it a voice and I will clear your doubt.
        I do not know if any other way is available for self learning

        No one have time to prepare example and excercise for you or anybody!
        Still you can buy a book of accountancy the best one is Shukla and Grewal which is available in B.com Gratuation Course. If a student read that books carefully during his/her college time, then today, he do not need to ask anybody for examples for practice!

      Hello everybody,

      How can we alter a TDS deducted journal voucher which passed earlier with using the auto TDS in tally and now in alteration we dont need to deduct the TDS or create any TDS reference. please guide

      Thanks

      • Mahendra says:

        Hello Rahul,
        If you want to remove the TDS (which was earlier passed with auto mode) then , just when you fill up the amount of expenses then select not applicable or put the amount 0 from the pop up button.
        And If I haven’t understand your question then please fill up the contact us form with screen shorts but mentioning your correct Tally Serial Number is mandatory to get our free support

      • Mahendra says:

        Rahul,
        while altering the voucher use not applicable in the pop up. it will remove tds deductible. you can also alter amount (partially if you want to deduct tds on a partial amount only)
