Memorandum Vouchers
Introduction The actual meaning of the word memorandum is a note recording something for future use. Note: A memorandum voucher is a voucher in which you record entries for which you are NOT sure whether they are going to occur and if they are going to occur then by HOW much amount. A main characteristic of memorandum voucher is that it does not affect your accounts unless you convert it to a general voucher. Example of Memorandum Voucher In your office, you gave ₹10,000 for office expenses for a month. Now, you are NOT sure how much amount will be spent and what will remain at the end of the month. In this case you will create a Memorandum Voucher for payment of ₹10,000. At the end of the month let us assume that the actual expenses were ₹9,000. What you will do is convert the memorandum voucher to payment voucher and change the amount from ₹10,000 to ₹9,000. By doing this, along with the modified entry, the books of accounts will also get updated. Sales or No Sales! An
