In this video, we'll learn that if we make a ledger entry that requires bill-specific details, we must enter the bill details in the voucher entry itself. This allows us to view the bill details, the specific credit period, and obtain the correct outstanding result (balance) for each ledger. However, when there are many entries, it becomes difficult to reconcile invoice payments. This is why creditor and debtor details are maintained at the invoice level, and this is called a bill-wise accounting system. There are four types of bill-wise details. New Reference This is used when passing sales and purchase entries, which will later serve as reference entries passed under the sundry debtors and creditors ledgers. Against Reference This reference is used when we pass receipt entries or payment entries against the references created when the original entries, such as sales and purchases, were passed. Advance This reference is used when an amount is received in advance for any service provided or for any outward supply of goods, or when an amount is paid in advance for a purchase to be made at a future date. In other words, this type of bill-wise detail is maintained where the nature of the service, product, or business terms require advance receipts/advance payments. When tracking these when the business materializes at the time of presenting a bill or invoice, these entries will serve as references. On Account An interest receipt entry and interest payment entry use this type of reference. However, this type of reference is also used when we are unsure about which bill the debtor has paid the amount against. Therefore, all such entries are kept in this reference until it is clear which invoice the amount pertains to. @manthirmahant @TallySolutions Your Questions: How do I raise an invoice for an advance payment?
