them in a separate Memorandum Register.
o You can use the Memorandum Vouchers for:
 o Payments towards suspense accounts – consider a company gives its
employee cash for Conveyance expenses, the exact nature and cost of
which are unknown. For such transactions, you can enter a voucher for the
petty cash advance. A voucher to record the actual expenditure details
when they are known, and another voucher to record the return of surplus
cash. However, a simpler way of doing it is to enter a Memo voucher when
the cash is advanced, and then turn it into a Payment voucher for the
actual amount spent, when the actual details are known.
o Vouchers not verified at the time of entry – if you do not understand the
details of a voucher you are entering, you can enter it as a Memo voucher
and amend it later when the details are available.
o Items given on approval – Generally completed sales are entered into
books. In case items are given on approval, use a Memo voucher to track
and convert it into a proper Sales voucher. You can delete the memo
voucher if the sale is not made.
