Introduction

Creating Sales and Purchase vouchers in Tally is extremely easy and simple. They are often referred to as purchase entry in Tally and sales entry in Tally. Every business requires sales as well as purchases to operate and function. In Tally, creating sales and purchase vouchers is as simple as creating sales and purchase bills by hand. You have to follow the same process which you followed while writing bills by hand. Nothing new to do. It is just in a digital format.

§ Sales Voucher as Accounting Invoice

§ Purchase Voucher as Accounting Invoice

The last thing I want to add before starting the explanation is that sales and purchase vouchers are 99% similar except that they are sales and purchase vouchers.

Ledgers you need before Creating a Sales and a Purchase Voucher

Before you create a sales or purchase voucher, you need to create 2 ledgers. They are:

§ Sundry Debtor – The person to whom you are selling.

§ Sundry Creditor – The person from whom you are purchasing.

§ Sales Ledger – A Ledger for recording sales. It can even be used for differentiating sales like domestic or international.

§ Purchase Ledger – A ledger for recording purchases. Again, it can be used for differentiating purchases such as domestic or international

Important Note: These ledgers are required to complete the entry whether it is purchase or sales.

To change the date in voucher, go to the right hand side column you will see a tab with date, click on it or press F2 button from the keyboard and change to your desired date

After click on the button you will see the following screen:

Enter the desired date and press enter. The date will change.

Purchase Voucher

Firstly, I have already created the Purchase Voucher of ₹20,000 in the Jugal's company. Have a look at the purchase entry in the image below. By default, the window will look like:

Press F12 for some changes in the current window so that we cannot use the Purchase ledger.

Enter the above red coloured option to No. The Purchase Ledger option will disappear. Then Click on the right hand side of the screen on Accounting Invoice or just press Alt+I. This will change the screen as shown below:

If you look at the Profit & Loss A/c, the entry will be as under:

You can see the purchase record also in the form of graph

Note: When we open stock monthly summary, in the graph section there we are looking two coloured graphs. 1. Red and 2. Blue. Red colour is for stock inwards and blue colour is for stock outwards.

Sale Voucher

Now, created the Sale Voucher of ₹20,000 in the Kartik’s company.
