This step is relating to creation of ledger of medical profession . In medical profession , doctor does not sell the goods so first of all change the master group of Sale Account into Professional fees Account
for this

Gateway of tally → Account Info → Group → Alter → select Sale Account → write professional fees on the place of sale account and accept this master group

"Now , If doctor starts new profession , then there is no need to show opening balance in ledger creation but if doctor is old and convert all his accounts from manual to tally 9 , he has to write opening balance of his different assets and liabilities in ledger creation of tally 9 . "

  13. Motor car expenses (under indirect expenses )
  14. Stationery expenses (under indirect expenses )
  15. Conveyance expenses (under indirect expenses )
  16. Any other expense ( Under indirect expenses )
A doctor does not require to calculate gross profit because he is neither salesman nor sell any product . So all expense will go under indirect expenses , there is no need to send any expenses under direct expenses group .

How to treate of advance from customers in tally 9

>> January 13, 2009

I try to tell the procedure of accounting treatment of advance from customers in tally 9 with solution of following query . I think this is the best procedure of treatment of advance from customers in tally 9

Question : We used to take advances from Customers for certain products which we don't have stock,when we got enough quantity of requisitions we order those.After receiving the stock we call Customers and they pay full amount and take there items.What will be the Entry and which Head these goes to?

Answer by Me

When you get advance , it is just like loan received by you before giving goods to your customers .

For this pass the journal entry

Bank or Cash Account Debit Rs .5000 ( For example )

Creditor account ( Give the name of person from whom you get advance money ) Credit Rs 5000

Because , you get cash and creditor is giver so creditor account must be credit .

If you are working on tally 9 then there is no need creating cash ledger because it is automatically created by tally 9
But you need to create Bank account , if you have gotten cheque . for this

Account Info and after this ledger and after this create bank account under bank account
and accept it
after this you can create creditor ledger ( for every person from whom you get money in advance ) under the head of Sundry Creditor or Loan and liabilities .and after this accept each creditor ledger .

You can same create it in Accounting Voucher by pressing short cut command Alt+ C

after this we you will give the goods to your customer , you have to open receipt voucher and then pass the voucher entry

Cash or bank Account Debit 1000 ( balance of sale value )
Creditor account Debit 5000 ( Tally automatically adjust this from your creditor accounts advance with sale value price )

Solution of the problem relating to stock valuation in sale return in tally 9

10/1/2009 , I got very interesting question from Naresh Seksaria Ji relating to Stock Valuation in Sales Return . I think , this should be shared with other tally users so they can also solve such problem by themselves . He asked question that
1) When there is a sales return, the inward stock is calculated at the selling price which is affecting the unit cost of stock. Is there any solution so that the unit price does not change?

2) Is it possible to check Profit on net sales i.e. Sales less Sales Return? If yes, how?

Answer By Me

Dear Naresh Seksaria

I have understood your both question. I try to give you its proper answer. I think it will useful for you.

If you have gone to Inventory info and create two ledger accounts

1st is Unit measurement
2nd is Stock item
In stock item, you must mention unite of measurement. Its effect will be on your purchase, sale and purchase return and sale return entries. Because after this when you feed any of above voucher entry in tally tally will ask you quantity of goods. You must fill quantity of goods in above all voucher entries.

After this tally automatically adjust sale return at cost price
I explain it with example

Suppose you have purchase

A product 100 unit at 10 per unit total purchase Rs. 1000

Pass it in tally

Now sell A product 100 unit at 20 sale price total sale Rs. 2000

Pass it in tally



Now sale return of unit 50 unit at 10 sale price total sale return Rs. 1000

Tally 9 automatically calculates the cost of sale return and closing stock at cost and gross profit. This is very simple


Tally 9’s profit and loss account show

Gross profit = sale – cost of goods sold

= 2000 – ( 1000-500 ) = Rs. 500
See Above example in following photo



On this apply just 10+1 accounting basic formula which is solve by tally 9 software


But, if you do not mention unit of measurement tally will forget

Then it show sale of return of sale price and surely affect cost of sale and gross profit

I explain it with an other example


Suppose you have purchase

A product total purchase Rs. 1000

Pass it in tally

Now sell A product total sale Rs. 2000
Pass it in tally
Now sale return total sale return Rs. 1000
Pass it in tally
Now when you see result in profit and loss account of tally it will show


No gross profit = 0

But closing stock in debit side = Sale – sale return – purchase

= 2000 – 1000 – 1000 =0
you can see this profit and loss account in following picture




What did tally do?


Tally takes simply sale return on sale price because; you did not mention units and its cost in ledger creation and in voucher entry.
So , I suggest u to follow above Ist example procedure procedure .

If you want to know , net profit on net sale , I think , ratio analysis ‘s net profit ratio give it please check it or calculate it by net profit divide by net sale into 100 .

Thanks for query, It is good question

Yesterday , I got above message regarding tally 9 problem relating to voucher entry of sale and purchase in tally 9 software from my YouTube community , so , I think this is good question of Ashraf and its answer must be shared with my other communities . So that all new comers who want to feed their sale purchase entries in tally 9 they can learn this from beginning .

when you create a new company in tally 9 , after creating new company select this company by going to company info and then in the place of gateway of tally 9 you will see account info , click it and then go to ledger and then create the following ledger

  • Sale account under the head of sale
  • Purchase account under the head of Purchase
  • Bank account under the head of bank
  • Sale return account under the head of credit note
  • Purchase return account under the head of Debit note

these are basic ledger which , you have to create before purchase and sale voucher entries.

Now come back to gate way of tally by click escape button

After this Click Inventory Info.

In inventory info you must create first unit of measurement ,it may kg , litre , meter , tonnes etc.

After this come back by esc and the create stock items in which you deal suppose in above example you can create stock item product1234

After this , you can pass the voucher entry . There are two way of passing voucher entry one is bill by bill wise and other is simple form .

In bill by bill mode , you do not understand about more journal entries . But you have write yes bill wise option in feature F11 if you want to choose first .

Just one the gate way of tally , you will see accounting vouchers , click it and then right side you will see different vouchers . Now , if you want to pass the voucher entry relating to purchase . Then decide , it is credit or cash or bank purchase , if , it is credit purchase , then click purchase in right side and after this in the account , you can create ledger of your creditor by passing short cut key of Alt+C and you will see new pop up box and create you new creditor account by mentioning his name and keep it under sundry creditors and accept it , after this you will see his account in the purchase voucher and the write the quantity and rate of purchased goods and then accept the voucher . If you want to purchase cash or through bank , then create bank account ledger first but there is no need of cash account because it is automatically created by tally 9 . But you have to pass the voucher entry in receipt voucher or if you have already made voucher type then you can select cash purchase in purchase voucher and pass the voucher entry.


Same procedure will apply for passing the voucher of sale transactions . If it is credit sale you have to make debtor account by giving the name of debtor and under the head of your debtor and then pass the voucher entry in sale voucher , if it is cash sale then it will be passed in receipt voucher . For passing the voucher entry of purchase return and sale return see here .
