In Tally, the ledger balance of a ledger during voucher entry can be set in two ways.

a)      Ledger balance as on voucher date.

b)      Ledger balance as on current date.

As on voucher date

The balance displayed will be as on the current date of the voucher, irrespective of the closing balance.

For example, if the cash balance as on 10^th April was Rs.9000 and the current balance as on current date, 18^th May, is Rs.4500, any voucher entered on 10^th April will display Rs.9000 as the current balance for the ledger.

As on current date

The balance displayed will be always the current balance, irrespective of the date of voucher entry.

Set F12: Configure as shown in the following figure.

Voucher entry screen with Balance as on voucher date appears.

When Show ledger current balance is set to Yes in F12: Configure, the following voucher entry screen appears.
