Schedule VI Classification

The procedure to configure Schedule VI Rules for both Ledgers and Groups are the same.

Schedule VI Rule Configuration for Groups/Ledgers can be done based on Classification Type and Schedule VI Groups.

The use of this Classification Type is the same as in Schedule-VI Balance Sheet.

This option is used when a common Group/Ledger is used for both Debit and Credit transactions . In this case, the amount of expenditure has to be classified under an Expense Head, and the amount of Income under an Income Head.

For example, Discount is a Ledger under which is used for recording entries for both Discount Allowed (expense) and Discount Received (income).

Choose Dr/Cr Transactions Total as the Classification Type

Choose the Head under which the total of Debit transactions have to be classified, and the Head under which the total amount of credit transactions have to be classified.

Press Enter to save the Configuration.

This option is available only for Group-level classification of balance into Schedule VI Heads, and the Group to be classified consists of debit and credit Ledger balances.

For example, a Group, Miscellaneous Expenses, has Travel Expenses and Commission charges categorised under it. In such a case,

Choose Group Nett Balance as the Classification Type.

Choose the Expense Head under which the Debit Balance should be classified.

Choose the Income Head under which the Credit Balance should be classified.
