F1: Accounting Features

 

This feature enables you to set the various Accounting Features required for transaction entries.

Go to Gateway of Tally > F11: Features > F1: Accounting Features

General

Integrate Accounts and Inventory

This option has a significant effect on the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account. If set to Yes, it extracts the stock/inventory balance figures from the inventory records and provides a drill down to the Stock registers from the Balance Sheet.

If set to No, it ignores the inventory books figures and picks up manually entered closing stock balances from the ledger account created. This facilitates the maintaining of  accounts and inventory separately.

Stock records often contain compensating errors caused by wrong allocation to items. This feature enables finalisation of financial books without waiting for the reconciliation of stocks.

Income/Expense Statement Instead of P & L

By Default, this option is set to No.

If set to Yes – Tally.ERP 9 displays Income & Expenses A/c instead of Profit & Loss A/c in the Gateway of Tally.ERP 9 Menu. Income and Expenditure statement generally used for Non-Trading accounts and Profit & Loss a/c are used for trading accounts.

Allow Multi-Currency

By Default, this option is No.

Set this option to Yes, if you want to create multiple currencies and the Menu Currencies is displayed in Gateway of Tally > Accounts Info. menu.

Outstandings Management

Maintain Bill wise Details

The Bill-wise facility is made functional by setting this option to Yes. By activating the Billwise feature,  the ledger masters under Sundry Debtors and Sundry Creditors automatically displays an additional option called Maintain balances bill-by-bill. On setting this option to Yes, an additional option Default Credit Period is displayed.

When you enter details of sales and purchases with the Bill-wise option activated, Tally.ERP 9 prompts you to identify the invoice with an appropriate reference number. The reference can then be used to allocate payments to the correct invoice to maintain an accurate account of outstanding.

(For Non-Trading A/cs also)
