To manage related party transactions between two companies (Company A and Company B) in Tally, you need to follow these steps to create and track such transactions effectively. Here's a detailed guide on how to do this:
### Steps to Create and Track Related Party Transactions in Tally
1. **Create Ledgers for Both Companies in Tally:** - You need to create ledger accounts for Company A in the books of Company B and vice versa.
#### In Company A's Books: 1. Open Tally and select Company A. 2. Go to `Gateway of Tally` > `Accounts Info` > `Ledgers` > `Create`. 3. Create a ledger for Company B. - **Name**: Company B - **Under**: Sundry Creditors (or appropriate group) - **Maintain balances bill-by-bill**: Yes - **Inventory values are affected**: No 4. Save the ledger.
#### In Company B's Books: 1. Open Tally and select Company B. 2. Go to `Gateway of Tally` > `Accounts Info` > `Ledgers` > `Create`. 3. Create a ledger for Company A. - **Name**: Company A - **Under**: Sundry Debtors (or appropriate group) - **Maintain balances bill-by-bill**: Yes - **Inventory values are affected**: No 4. Save the ledger.
### Record Transactions
1. **Sales from Company A to Company B:** - In Company A's Tally, go to `Gateway of Tally` > `Accounting Vouchers` > `F8: Sales`. - Select the ledger created for Company B. - Enter the sales details (items, quantity, rate, etc.). - Save the voucher.
2. **Purchases in Company B from Company A:** - In Company B's Tally, go to `Gateway of Tally` > `Accounting Vouchers` > `F9: Purchase`. - Select the ledger created for Company A. - Enter the purchase details (items, quantity, rate, etc.). - Save the voucher.
### Set Up Tracking for Related Party Transactions
1. **Define Related Party:** - Tally doesn't have a direct "related party" feature, but you can manage and track transactions by using ledger groups and appropriate naming conventions.
2. **Using Cost Centers or Cost Categories (if applicable):** - You can use cost centers or cost categories to track related party transactions separately. - Enable `Cost Centers` in `F11: Features` > `Accounting Features`. - Create cost centers for Company A and Company B under `Accounts Info` > `Cost Centers`.
### Reports and Analysis
1. **Viewing Transactions:** - To view all transactions with Company B in Company A's books, go to `Display` > `Account Books` > `Ledger`. - Select Company B's ledger to see all related transactions.
2. **Outstanding Reports:** - To see outstanding amounts, go to `Gateway of Tally` > `Display` > `Statement of Accounts` > `Outstanding`. - Choose `Sundry Debtors` or `Sundry Creditors` as appropriate.
3. **Related Party Transaction Report:** - While Tally doesn't provide a built-in related party transaction report, you can manually review ledgers, outstanding reports, and cost center reports to identify related party transactions.
### Summary
- **Create Ledgers**: For Company A in Company B's books and vice versa. - **Record Transactions**: Use sales vouchers in Company A and purchase vouchers in Company B. - **Track Transactions**: Use ledger and outstanding reports, and consider using cost centers for more detailed tracking. - **Review**: Regularly review reports to ensure all related party transactions are accurately recorded and tracked.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage and track related party transactions between Company A and Company B in Tally.
