| Creating Ledgers |
Understanding what ledgers are for: Ledgers in Tally record all of the transactions for that account. One will need to create a ledger for each account that they do business with. Two ledgers are included in Tally by default: "Cash" and "Profit and Loss Account". We can create as many other ledgers as we need. How to? Step 1: Open Create Ledger window by following the given direction: Gateway of Tally > Account’s Info > Ledger > Create Step 2: Select the group. Here we will be required to select as to which group the ledger will be assigned to.

Enter a name for your ledger to know what the ledger contains in it without having to open it Step 4: Enter an opening balance (if any).For Example: If you are creating a ledger for your bank account, this would be the amount currently in it. If you are starting a ledger for the amount owed to a Vendor, the amount you owe would be the starting balance |
