Voucher Type Security in Tally.ERP 9

Posted on by Tally Academy

What is Voucher Type Security?

Tally_Voucher_Security A business would generally have multiple users, wherein the task done in Tally will be based on the role of the employee. Hence, a person in Sales would mostly be passing Sales related and Receipt Vouchers, while someone handling Banking would spend more time passing Payment, Receipt and other similar Accounting Vouchers.With voucher Level Security, the administrator is able to provide or deny access to what level of activity can be performed on a voucher by different users i.e. User A & User B can create & alter a Payment Voucher, but User C can only view the same. This will provide greater degree of control and higher personalization.

Advantages of Voucher Level Security:

  • This will help the administrator to create a department and role based segregation of access for different users, i.e. specify voucher types access based on Sales, Purchase, Accounts and Payroll etc. for employees in those areas of work.
  • Further, the administrator can even select to provide access to an entire group of vouchers like Accounting Vouchers, or Inventory Vouchers as a whole.

Banking in Tally.ERP 9

Posted on by Tally Academy

 

Banking_in_tally All businesses need to connect with their Banks. With even small businesses doing thousands of transactions per month, banking usually happens on a day-to-day basis. Presenting Banking in Tally.ERP 9 Release 3.0: powerful, new functionality with a powerful advantage for business managers. In fact, it’s so powerful that Banking gets its own new section within the product.Just what every business needs, the Bank allocation feature brings everyday bank- related chores right to your fingertips.

 

Highlights:

Multiple instrument and Mode of Transaction details in single voucher

Record and monitor multiple transactions in a single voucher using the new Banking feature. While the old system only captured the dates of transactions, this feature allows you to monitor transactions by Amount, Date, Instrument Number or mode (like NEFT, Cheque, DD, etc.), for a more complete picture. The ability to identify payment modes in the system and separate dates for each instrument eases bank reconciliation.

Instrument-wise reconciliation

Reconciliation can be done for each instrument rather than the entire voucher. The instrument details (number, date, etc.) are displayed for easier reconciliation.

In case of unseen items such as Bank charges, interest paid etc., these can be captured in a new voucher without discarding the BRS (Bank Reconciliation Statement) in progress. Further, existing vouchers can be altered in case of any discrepancy found during reconciliation.

Opening BRS

The new Banking feature allows you to manually record or automatically carry forward the un-reconciled bank transactions from the current year to the subsequent year (as Opening BRS). These can then be reconciled in the subsequent year.

Cheque printing configuration with Preview

Utilise the enhanced cheque printing configuration with print preview to reduce wastage. This has further been simplified to copy measurements from previous configurations.

Multiple cheque printing/capture

A separate “Cheque Printing” report (in the Banking section) has been introduced to let you print multiple cheque easily. This feature also lets you know if a cheque has been printed or not by a simple Yes or No against each cheque.

Since it is sometimes not possible to know which Amount/Favouring Name is going to be printed on which cheque leaf, cheque details can also be recorded after printing.

Payment advice printing

A system-generated payment advice (covering letter for payments) can be printed for a single or multiple vouchers.

Deposit slips printing

Deposit slips can be printed for a single cheque or multiple cheques, further simplifying Banking transactions.

 

Benefits:

  • Saves time
  • Reduces errors
  • Simplifies banking
  • Improves productivity
  • Improves traceability
