Types of Bill wise details in Tally.ERP 9

There are four types of bill wise detail.

New Reference

This is used at the time of passing sales and purchase entries which will later serve for Against reference entries to be passed under Sundry debtors and creditors ledger.

Against Reference

This reference is used when we pass receipt entries or payment entries against the references created at the time of passing of original entries such as sales and purchase.

Advance

This reference is used when any amount is received in advance for any services rendered or for any outward supplies of goods is made or when any amount is paid in advance for purchases to be made at the future date.

In other words, this type of bill wise detail is maintained where the nature of service or nature of product or terms of business demands advance receipts/ advance payments to be made and to track these when the business gets materialized at the time of raising of bill or invoice, these entries would serve as reference.

On Account

An interest receipt entry, interest payment entries uses these types of references. But apart from these, this type of reference is also used when we are unsure of as of against which bill the sum has been settled by the debtor.

So, all those types of entries are kept under this reference till the time it gets cleared as to which Invoice the sum relates to.
