Post-Dated Vouchers in TallyPrime are a feature that allows you to enter financial transactions with future dates. This feature is particularly useful when you want to record transactions in advance but do not want them to affect your financial accounts until the specified date arrives. Post-dated vouchers help you plan and schedule transactions for future periods, making it easier to manage your finances.
- Transaction Planning: You can use post-dated vouchers to plan for future transactions, such as expenses, investments, or payments, and ensure that you don’t forget to record them when the time comes.
How to Use Post-Dated Vouchers in TallyPrime:
- Create a New Voucher:
- Open TallyPrime and go to “Vouchers.”
- Select the voucher type that corresponds to the transaction you want to record (e.g., Payment Voucher, Receipt Voucher, Journal Voucher, etc.).
- Enter Transaction Details:
- Enter the transaction details as you normally would, including the party’s name, ledger accounts, narration, and the transaction amount.
- Set the Post-Dated Date:
- In the voucher entry screen, specify the future date for the transaction in the “Effective Date” or “Post-Dated” field. This is the date when the transaction will become active and affect your financial accounts.
- Save the Voucher:
- Once you’ve entered all the details and set the post-dated date, save the voucher by pressing
Ctrl + Aor clicking the “Accept” button.
- Once you’ve entered all the details and set the post-dated date, save the voucher by pressing
The post-dated voucher will not impact your financial accounts until the specified date arrives. On the specified date, the transaction will automatically become active, and its effects will be reflected in your financial statements.
