1. Memo (Memorandum) Voucher in TallyERP9
This is a non-accounting voucher and the entries made using it will not affect your accounts. That is, Tally.ERP does not post these entries to ledgers but stores them in a separate Memorandum Register.
(A) Some uses for Memo Vouchers :
Making Suspense Payments :
For example, the company gives an employee cash to buy office supplies, the exact nature and cost of which are unknown. You could enter a voucher for the petty cash advance, a voucher to record the actual expenditure details when they are known, and another voucher to record the return of surplus cash.
However, a simpler way is to enter a Memo voucher when the cash is advanced, and then turn it into a Payment voucher for the actual amount spent, when known.
For example : the Company pays its employee ₹. 1000 as petty cash advance for Office Expenses.
The following entry has to be passed. :
