25 December 2016 Basically my question is on Print setting in tally. When FD matures we pass entry I;e.
" Bank A/C Dr xxxx
TDS Receivable Dr xxxx
To Interest on FD xxxx
To FD A/C xxxx "

But problem is when we print this receipt voucher it shows 'Less" symbol and deduct TDS Receivable from gross amount which is not acceptable format in our company. Hence, I need to know how to omit 'Less " symbol in receipt voucher and only show the net value.

10 August 2024 In Tally, customizing the print format of vouchers to exclude certain elements like the "Less" symbol can be a bit tricky, as it involves altering the print settings and possibly modifying the voucher format. Here's a step-by-step guide to adjust your Tally settings to print receipt vouchers without showing the "Less" symbol for TDS Receivable:

### **1. Adjusting Print Settings in Tally**

#### **1.1. Access the Voucher Print Configuration**

1. **Open Tally:**
- Start Tally and navigate to the company where you need to make the changes.

2. **Go to Voucher Type:**
- Go to `Gateway of Tally` → `Accounts Info.` → `Voucher Types` → Select the relevant voucher type (e.g., Receipt).

3. **Configure Printing Options:**
- Press `F12` to access the `Voucher Printing` configuration.
- Look for options related to printing settings for the selected voucher type.

4. **Check for Additional Settings:**
- Ensure that options like "Show Debit/Credit Amounts" or "Show Less/Net Amounts" are configured according to your preference.

#### **1.2. Customize the Voucher Print Format**

1. **Access Print Settings:**
- While printing the voucher, press `F12` for more settings in the print dialog box.

2. **Modify Print Layout:**
- Tally does not have direct options to exclude "Less" symbols in standard settings. Therefore, you may need to customize the print layout.

3. **Use Tally’s Printing Configuration:**
- Navigate to `Gateway of Tally` → `Display More Reports` → `Statutory Reports` → `Print Settings`.

4. **Adjust Format:**
- If you have Tally ERP 9 or later, you can use Tally’s `Tally Definition Language (TDL)` to create or modify the voucher print format.
- For detailed customization, you may need to use TDL scripts to remove specific elements from the printout.

### **2. Tally Definition Language (TDL) Customization**

If you have a specific need to remove "Less" symbols and cannot find a direct option in Tally's print settings, you may have to resort to TDL customization. This requires some programming knowledge or assistance from a Tally developer.

#### **2.1. Sample TDL Script**

Here’s a very basic outline of how you could use TDL to customize the print format. **Note:** Actual implementation requires detailed coding skills.

```tdl
[Print Form: Receipt Voucher]
On Line: Voucher Details
Line: Without Less Symbol
Field: Name Field, Amount Field
Set: Show Less As No
```

#### **2.2. Seek Professional Help**

If you're not familiar with TDL, consider consulting a Tally professional or developer who can create or modify the print layout according to your requirements.

### **3. Manual Adjustments**

As an alternative, you can manually adjust the printed voucher:

1. **Print the Voucher:**
- Print the voucher as is from Tally.

2. **Edit Manually:**
- Use a PDF editor or similar tool to manually adjust the printed voucher to remove the "Less" symbol if necessary.

### **Summary**

1. **Adjust Settings:** Try adjusting the print settings in Tally using `F12` during the voucher print process.
2. **Customize Print Layout:** For specific formatting requirements, consider customizing the print layout using TDL or consulting with a Tally expert.
3. **Manual Adjustment:** As a last resort, manually edit the printed voucher using a PDF editor.

These steps should help you tailor the receipt voucher format to meet your company’s requirements.
