How Should you Prepare it in Tally ERP 9?

Step 1: From Gateway of Tally, we have to follow to Accounting Vouchers screen

Step 2: Press CTRL + F8 on the keyboard or just select Credit note from the side table using mouse pointer.

Step 3: Create/getting the ledgers ready

·       Sales return ledger – Under Sales Accounts or having assumed that the given example is Inter State sale, then instead of creating Sales return account and crediting the same we can use the ledger used for passing Inter State sales as on a net it will reduce the sales.

·       Recipient or Party or Debtor ledger would already be created at time of sales so it’s not required to create a new ledger at this stage

·       Tax Ledger applicable for this particular transaction would be IGST (being Inter State transaction) even this would have already been created under Duties and Taxes with required rate of GST of 5% in this case.

Step 4: Passing journal entry using Accounting Voucher Screen > Credit Note.

·       Press F2 and enter the date of transaction to 01.12.2018

·       Select Credit Note in Invoice mode

·       Give the details of original Invoice number against which the goods are being returned and also fill the date of original invoice or sales (15-11-2018)

·       Now select the party or debtor ledger ( M/s XXX Ltd)

·       Under ledger: Select the relevant In terms state GST sales ledger created or select the sales return ledger (separately created)

·       Under Item Name: Provide the details of product which is returned, and in Quantity column provide the number of units returned and in Rate column feed the rate at which the quantities we’re purchased originally. ( Let’s assume in our example per unit price to be Rs. 10 thereby M/s XXX LTD has returned 500 units at unit price of Rs. 10)

·       Now we have to select the tax ledger (given case to be Inter State transaction, the ledgers to be selected is IGST ledger. (In the given case IGST calculates to Rs. 500) @ 5%

·       Select round off ledger (if required) to round off the transaction value)

·       After you press enter, Tally will ask you to prepare E Way bill, since the value of transaction for a Inter state Invoice in the given case is Rs. 5500/- below the mandatory limit of Rs. 50,000/- Tally.ERP 9 will skip this field.

[Note: For E Way bill to activate one have to feed the details in Statutory Features Screen (F3) under F11 Features screen and also define the value beyond which E Way bill has to be mandatorily prepared) For Ex: This limit to be set at Rs. 50,000/- for mandating for preparation of E way bill]

·       Press Enter and you will end up with narration screen where we can define the reason for passing Credit note memorandum (if required)

·       Finally press enter to accept the screen and again press Enter to save the voucher.
