Memo Vouchers
This is a non-accounting voucher and the entries made using it will not affect your accounts. That is, Tally does not post these entries to ledgers but stores them in a separate register. You can alter and convert a Memo voucher into a regular voucher when you decide to bring the entry into your books. Memo vouchers are used when the user has to make Suspense Payments or he has to make a transaction for which the user does not have complete information. To enter a Memo Voucher, select 'Voucher Entry' then press F10 (memo vouchers) and complete the transaction. Memo vouchers can be effectively used when they are included in Scenarios. Entries made through Memo vouchers can be made part of a Scenario management and scenario reports can be viewed by including these memo vouchers.
