2 To Know the Current Status

Whenever there are certain changes due to statutory compliances, change in rules, and provision, etc, Tally.ERP9 will make the changes in Statutory Masters & release the stat file.

In the bottom part of Tally.ERP9, we know the status of our Release & Stat file installed on our computer. If connected to the internet, Tally will display information of the latest available release as compared to the installed one.

Latest Version is 1.61 & Stat 108. Along with the release Tally.ERP9 is also having Release notes from which we can know the changes done by Tally.ERP9 in statutory masters. Ensure that Tally.Net subscription is not expired.

6 Changes in The Voucher Class (if any)

Voucher class is the definition of structure to make the entries. E.g. if we are defining the voucher class for Sales, that will simplify the calculations mode for sales entries as predefined in the class.

Person making the classes should have thorough understanding of the structure to be defined & its accounting implications

Gateway of Tally -> Accounts Info -> Voucher Type >Alter ->Sales

www.winjit.com (WINJIT)

From above we are making class of Tax Invoice (We can make as number of classes as we can). It should be understood that classes should be defined for the fixed structure entries only. (e.g. Sales)

Exclude the Groups We can customized our selection by excluding certain groups that means ledgers under the selected group will not be prompt at the time of entering the voucher (in our example sales)

Include the Groups As explained, we can include the groups.

Tally.ERP9 VAT Rate Change Process Default Accounting Allocations for Items Here we can define the allocation i.e. ledger to be selected for the stock item e.g. for Sales we can select sales 12.5%

05 April 2010

VAT Class The default class for Sales Ledger e.g. Sales 12.5%

Percentage If there is certain percentage of allocation to single item, we can define that here only. This is helpful for the clients who are used to bill at the inclusive rates. E.g. if any organization is selling its items having 12.5% rate & normally bills at inclusive rates, can set allocation percentage as Sales Ledger 12.5% -> 88.88%

Output VAT 12.5% -> 11.12%

Override using item defaults As explained in the above topic of Stock Item Settings, Tally has given feature to make default allocations of Items e.g. after selecting a particular item at purchase or sales voucher default accounting allocation will be done as per the settings in masters.

This is also very helpful feature of tally, because we need not have to think of accounting allocations at the time of entry (generally when stock items are more or sales entries are done by operators etc. this feature is very helpful) If we set the option as YES then tally will make accounting allocation as defined for the stock item.

e.g. though we are setting sales for sales 12.5% in the above screen as accounting allocations, but if we are having item of 4% & default allocation is set for the stock item, by setting Override item Defaults as Yes , Accounting will be done as Sales 4% only (and not as Sales 12.5%)

Ledger Names In this screen we have to define the ledgers to be selected at the time of entering the sales vouchers & the calculation thereof. E.g. VAT Ledgers, Excise Ledgers, Packing Charges, Transportation, Rounding off, etc. After selecting the ledger Tally.ERP9 will prompt for calculation type

Then we will have to select rounding up method & whether to show zero values or not.

At the time of making the entries the screen for sales voucher after selecting appropriate class will be as shown below
