19 July 2024 In Tally.ERP 9, the default behavior is to print the cheque with the instrument date as per the voucher date. However, if you want to print a cheque without mentioning the instrument date (date on the cheque itself), it typically requires manual intervention or customization, as Tally.ERP 9 does not provide a direct option to suppress the instrument date.

Here’s a general approach you can consider to achieve this:

### Steps to Print Cheque Without Instrument Date in Tally.ERP 9:

1. **Configure Cheque Printing Settings:**
- Go to **Gateway of Tally > Accounting Vouchers > F5: Payment** (or **F6: Receipt** as per your transaction).
- Enter the payment voucher details including the date.

2. **Preview and Customize Cheque Printing:**
- After entering the payment voucher, go to **Print** or **Alt+P** to preview the cheque print setup.
- Tally.ERP 9 allows you to customize the cheque printing format through its configuration settings.

3. **Customize Cheque Printing Configuration:**
- In Tally.ERP 9, cheque printing configurations are typically managed through **Cheque Printing Configuration** settings.
- Depending on your version and configuration, you may have options to customize fields such as instrument date, payee name, amount in words, etc.

4. **Manual Intervention for Instrument Date:**
- If you wish to print a cheque without the instrument date, you may need to manually edit the cheque details before printing.
- After previewing the cheque, if Tally.ERP 9 does not provide an option to exclude the instrument date, you can edit the print configuration or modify the cheque template (if customization is allowed).

5. **Considerations:**
- **Manual Date Mention:** As per your requirement, when funds are available and you manually mention the cheque date, ensure that this date aligns with the voucher date and is correctly recorded in your books.

### Customization and Support:

If the standard options in Tally.ERP 9 do not meet your specific requirement of printing cheques without the instrument date, you may need to consider:

- **Customization:** Consult with a Tally expert or developer to customize the cheque printing format to exclude the instrument date field.
- **Alternative Approaches:** Consider alternative methods for managing payments, such as online transfers or holding post-dated cheques until funds are available.

### Conclusion:

Printing cheques without the instrument date directly in Tally.ERP 9 may require customization or manual intervention, as the software typically defaults to printing the cheque with the instrument date as per the voucher date. Ensure any customization aligns with your accounting practices and regulatory requirements. If you need further assistance, it’s advisable to contact Tally support or a certified Tally partner for specific guidance tailored to your needs.
